Steven Moffat, Doctor Who's new show-runner come 2010, is back again to torment his fellow television sci-fi writers at the 2009 Hugo Awards.

The writer and producer won Hugos for each of the first three seasons that Russell T. Davies' updated Who ran on BBC1. With the fourth season behind us, Moffat's been nominated again for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, this time for his two-part Who story, "Silence in the Library" and "Forest of the Dead" (episodes that spawned the deadly Vashta Nerada, above).

Moffat is up against Davies in the category -- as well as Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof of Lost, Joss and Zack Whedon of* Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog* and Bradley Thompson and David Weddle of* Battlestar Galactica*.

The winners will be announced at this August's Anticipation Convention in Montreal.
