File 770 has won the
Hugo Award for Best Fanzine eight times, in 1984, 1985, 1989, 2000, 2001, 2008, 2016, and 2018. It has received a total of thirty-one nominations over four decades. Glyer himself has also won the
Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer four times for his work on
File 770. Writing in
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, Rob Hansen and
David Langford described the zine as evoking a strong feeling of community. In his 2018 Hugo acceptance speech, Glyer recused himself and
File 770 from future nominations. The next year,
File 770 received enough votes to qualify for the Hugo ballot, but it was not listed due to the recusal. ==Notes==
