Mind you, the novel winner, "They'd Rather be Right", by Mark Clifton and Frank Riley, is from 1954 ( Astounding, August through November), but it is also widely regarded as the worst Hugo-winning novel in history, so there's no harm looking at potential alternate winners in that category either! Miller's "The Darfsteller" ( Astounding, January 1955) and Eric Frank Russell's "Allamagoosa" ( Astounding, May 1955). 1954 is in a similar state - the short fiction awards from 1955 went to Walter M. Recently I did a piece on potential Hugo winners from 1957, having noticed that no stories from 1957 won Hugos: the 1958 Hugos went to stories from 1958 - a result of the rules at that time extending eligibility up until a couple of months before Worldcon, and also that the 1957 Hugos didn't have any fiction awards.
