SFWA Nebula Awards Final Ballot
The final ballot for the SFWA Nebula Awards has been posted. (And I am confused. The post says they are the 2005 Nebulas. Is this a typo? Last year’s awards, held in 2005, were called the 2005 Nebula awards even though they awarded works from 2004. Shouldn’t this year be the 2006 Nebula Awards?) Anyway, here are the nominees:
