I do not think this year's crop of Hugo short stories is that good, frankly. However, I think I've decided on my voting order. From 1 to 4, they are:

“The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere”, John Chu (Tor.com, 02-2013)
“Selkie Stories Are for Losers”, Sofia Samatar (Strange Horizons, Jan-2013)
“If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love”, Rachel Swirsky (Apex Magazine, Mar-2013)
“The Ink Readers of Doi Saket”, Thomas Olde Heuvelt (Tor.com, 04-2013)

I didn't see any of the dramatic short form works, so I'm not voting. On long form, my vote in order:

Gravity, written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, directed by Alfonso Cuarón (Esperanto Filmoj; Heyday Films; Warner Bros.)
Pacific Rim, screenplay by Travis Beacham & Guillermo del Toro, directed by Guillermo del Toro (Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros., Disney Double Dare You)
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, screenplay by Simon Beaufoy & Michael Arndt, directed by Francis Lawrence (Color Force; Lionsgate)

On the semiprozine front, in order:

Strange Horizons, edited by Niall Harrison, Brit Mandelo, An Owomoyela, Julia Rios, Sonya Taaffe, Abigail Nussbaum, Rebecca Cross, Anaea Lay, and Shane Gavin
Lightspeed Magazine, edited by John Joseph Adams, Rich Horton, and Stefan Rudnicki
Apex Magazine, edited by Lynne M. Thomas, Jason Sizemore, and Michael Damian Thomas
Interzone, edited by Andy Cox
