Nebula Awards

[jacey]

The Nebula award nominees have been announced here: http://sfwa.livejournal.com/312726.html

Needless to say not one thing I nominated has been shortlisted and I haven't actually read anything on the list at all. I'm not sure it's up yet, but they are supposed to be providing a voters' package for SFWA members, so hopefully I will be able to catch up with some of them before voting in March.

One observation is that (comparing this with last year's noiminees) that some writers seem to be the automatic go-to names when awards are on the table.

SFWA has been messing with the Neb rules to try to cut down on logrolling, but I don't think that anyone can get past the popularity contest aspect of these things. It's so wired into human nature.
