I had similar thoughts on Skin Game, I liked it but it was sort of bubblegum for the brain and I never would have considered it Hugo worthy.
Gaiman won two Hugos in the past for best novel and I think it likely that Ocean was one of the books pushed off the slate by the puppy nominations. We will know in August when the first 15 in every cathegory with number of votes are published.
I tried to ask Jim Butcher on Twitter about his thoughts on being nominated by the puppies. He never answered though. Unlike other authors (who were either not pleased by the puppy nominations or are open supporters) he is staying completely silent on the matter.
