The Nebula Awards ceremony is going on right now. Update this page for the latest (we'll keep reposting the page as we hear more). When the ceremony is over, we'll remove this introductory paragraph.

It is now 1:25AM EDT. Here are the winners. The awards have been handed out, the winners are being congratulated, and the losers are being consoled. SFScope bids you a good night.

Ian, I really appreciate your professionalism. You've moved to the top of my list. Other people who shall remain unnamed have earned an express ticket to the bottom.
