A lot of people have put up their eligibility posts, and you can check the eligibility of your favorite authors by hitting their personal blogs. I posted a list of everything I published in 2014, and technically, it's all eligible, but let's be honest: that's a lot of stuff. If you were considering nominating any of my works, you're going to have a lot of reading ahead of you, and a probably split pool.
(Mira, with one novel and one novella, is in a slightly less conflicted place.)
Turning away from me, I would ask you to consider Sheila Gilbert for Best Editor, Long Form; Christie Yant for Best Editor, Short Form (the story of mine she edited, "Each to Each," is one of my best, and it's because of her); Chris McGrath and Aly Fell for Best Artist; The Librarians episode "And the Apple of Discord" for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short; and Book of Life for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long.
What do you think people should be considering for this year's awards?

(And maybe Invisible for Best Related Work, if people are so inclined.)

I'd better get a wiggle on. I think I'm at least a book behind in every series...

For Best Novel I've really been impressed by
City of Stairs
The Goblin Emperor
Steles of the Sky (or possibly the whole Eternal Sky trilogy)
Lock In
and
Mirror Empire
I'm still looking around, and will be back to see what other people suggest.

Personally I thought Lindy Booth's performance was brilliant.

Also, Ms. Marvel Volume 1: No Normal for Best Graphic Novel? G. Willow Wilson has done such an amazing job bringing Kamala Khan to life, and it's one of the stories that has gotten me back to having a monthly pull list again (that and Rat Queens). Both of them are excellent and well worth the nomination. And Marie Brannon's "Daughter of Necessity" tells Penelope's side of the Odyssey in such a moving way I had to put it on my ballot - it's free on Tor's site if people want to check it out.
Can Women Destroy Science Fiction be nominated as a whole for Best Related Work? Or do I have to nominate the stories individually? (or are both possible?)

My thoughts on 2014 movies are here. I must admit that I haven't yet seen Book of Life, and will have to correct that before I nominate.
Of your works, I plan to nominate The Winter Long. The Toby series is overdue for recognition, and this is a significant book in that series. And damned good, besides.
One more thing, that I'll be finding reasons to say as often as I can. Find a way to see "Predestination", and keep it in mind a year from now for Dramatic Presentation, Long. It's fantastic, and should not be forgotten or overlooked.
