Winners of The Nebula Awards, voted on and presented by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, were announced an awards banquet held 15 May in Cape Canaveral, Florida as part of the SWFA’s Nebula Weekend.
The Nebula for a Novel went to The Windup Girl (Night Shade Books, Sept 2009), by Paolo Pacigalupi, while The Women of Nell Gwynne’s (Subterranean Press, June 2009), by Kage Baker was named in the Novella category, “Sinner, Baker, Fabulust, Priest; Red Mask, Black Mask, Gentleman, Beast” (Interzone, Feb. 2009), by Eugie Foster won the category for Novelettes, and “Spar” (Clarkesworld, Oct. 2009), by Kij Johnson was the winner in the Short Story category.
The Ray Bradbury Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation went to Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell for District 9 (Tri-Star, Aug. 2009). The Bradbury award, as well as the Andre Norton Award for Outstanding Young Adult Science Fiction or Fantasy Book, also award at the banquet, are not official Nebula Awards, but are announced along with the Nebulas.
The Norton Award went to The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making (Catherynne M. Valente, June 2009), by Catherynne M. Valente. It is notable that this novel is available in full on the author’s website but has not been published in book form yet.
Several awards which had been announced earlier were also handed out at the banquet. Joe Haldeman was named the year’s Damon Knight Grand Master, while Neal Barrett, Jr. was named Author Emeritus. SWFA Service Awards went to Vonda N. McIntyre and Keith Stokes, while the SWFA Solstice Awards, given to individuals, living or dead, who have had a significant impact on science fiction or fantasy, went to Tom Doherty, Terri Windling, and the late Donald A. Wollheim.
Aside from the awards presented, other news coming out of the Nebula Weekend included the election of author John Scalzi as the next president of the SWFA. He will take office on 1 July.
