Having completed the family dinner, I've plunged into numbers geekery around the Hugo Nomination Statistics and posted my initial thoughts (and graphs and tables) in my blog.
alpennia.com/blog/compari...
There is also a very large drop off in nominations after the finalists in some categories (inc Novel & Series) - maybe suggesting a lot of similar ballots. For example, the finalists for best novel were on 46-50% of nomination ballots…in recent prior years the top nominee has been in ~20-30% range
