The convention committee was chaired by Patty Wells. ProgrammingThe Guests of Honor were Tim Powers, Ellen Asher, Boris Vallejo, and the late Charles N. Brown, whose contribution was still honored.[4] Special Guests included Tricky Pixie and Bill Willingham. Other notabile guests included author George R. R. Martin, radio legend Dr. Demento, and artist Julie Bell.[2][6] Special events include the Renovation Independent/Fan Film Festival 2011, Music Night on Wednesday, and an Art Night festival celebrating the visual arts in SF on Thursday.[7][8] The Chesley Awards were presented on August 18 as part of Art Night, the Masquerade was held on Friday the 19th, and the 2011 Hugo Awards were presented on Saturday August 20, with the Masquerade and Hugo Awards both held at the Peppermill and most other events happening at the RSCC.[9] A pair of autographed shooting scripts for the HBO television series Game of Thrones were stolen in transit from Belfast to Reno.[10] The theft of the scripts, donated by author George R. R. Martin whose books are the basis for the series and intended for sale at Renovation's charity auction, made international headlines.[11] Shipped via registered mail, only the cover letter in a "battered" envelope arrived in Reno. The scripts were signed by executive producers Dan Weiss and David Benioff plus director Alan Taylor.[10] Site selectionReno's bid to host the Worldcon was formally unopposed and won with 650 out of the 763 cast ballots at Anticipation in Montreal in 2009.[1][4] Awards presented{{About-Hugos}}Hugo AwardsThe results were based on the 2100 valid ballots submitted by current members of the World Science Fiction Society.[6][16] The 2011 Hugo Award statue base was designed by Marina Gelineau.[17][16]
