This episode was nominated for a Hugo Award for "Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form".
I thought it had to be wiki vandalism on Memory Alpha, but Wikipedia has links to corroborate it:

Let's just let this sink in for a moment.

And Carbon Creek. 2003 appears to have been a real shit time to be a Sci-Fi TV fan.
Though Hugo nominations of the time were pretty weird. The next year Gollum's acceptance speech at the MTV music awards was given a Hugo. So there's that.

I liked Carbon Creek. But it's nothing truly special to get award for though.

'Best' does not mean 'good'.

How bad was the other choices if they decided A night in Sickbay was more deserving than them?

Well, the first thing that springs to mind is... every other episode of that season of Enterprise. None of them were great, and most weren't even good, but all of them were better than A Night in Sickbay.

That's an excellent question. TBH I can't think of what else of any note was going on in TV Sci-Fi in 2002, so that might be the core issue here. I have a vague recollection of it feeling pretty thin.
Firefly's the closest thing that comes to mind, but it was struggling to even be seen thanks to the network...

That's a question you might want to ask yourself one of these days.

Farscape had a good season that year.
