Tor.com is proud to announce the winners of the first annual Dinosaur Awards! The proud tradition of the Dinosaur Awards began in 2015 when local malcontent Chris Lough mispronounced the title of Victor Milán’s The Dinosaur Lords. The awards were presented on whatever day this article goes up, during a short, respectful ceremony up in the Tor.com production office.

Congratulations to the winners and nominees! You’ve all been dead for millions of years.

Before we begin, let us remember the dinosaurs we lost this year. (Spoilers for Jurassic World, if you haven’t seen it.)
