rantingnerdThe Nebula Award Nominees are up. Five out of the six nominated novels are by women, and two of those women are African-American. Let's hope this isn't just a demographic blip.
The lone white guy in the group is Jack McDevitt, who consistently shows up on the Nebula ballot. I have no idea why. I've liked some of his books, but they're really not all that good ("workmanlike" is the adjective that comes to mind). There must be some constituency that likes McDevitt and doesn't read anyone else.
In the Dramatic Presentation, I'm not sure about Inception vs. Toy Story 3. Arguably the Toy Story movies are not really SF/F.
