Nebula Award Nominees Online

Posted by michael on from the who-needs-screeners dept.

Embedded Geek writes "The SFWA has announced the preliminary ballot for the 2003 Nebula awards. As has become standard over the past few years, the various magazines with short fiction nominees have placed the stories online to order to increase their exposure to voters (here and here for example). This year, the SFWA has helpfully linked all the online versions (as well as Amazon links for the novels and movies) on their ballot page. Those that aren't directly posted are available for free PDA download at fictionwise. Worth checking out, even if you aren't going to the banquet."

    Forget the Oscars, Peter Jackson must be sighing relief that he got a Nebula "Premilinary Nomination".

  3. Where's Lord of the Rings? by -kertrats- · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm insulted that LOTR didnt get a nod this year. That book was a great work of fiction. I know it came out two years ago with Fellowship, but it didnt win that year either [wasnt even nominated! as if the thing had come out 46 years ago!]. Truely insulting to the fantasy genre.

  4. Interesting film script options by Coryoth · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought the "Scripts" section at the end was rather interesting. Nominees included:

    - Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
    - Spirited Away

    So, the question is - which of those is the most worthy?

    Hmm, I wonder if we can have an anime fans vs. Tolkien fans flamewar? That might be fun :-)

      If Tolkien was remade as anime, every character would be 14 years old, speak in an annoying high-pitched voice, and would brood a lot. We would get a lot of slow motion shots for no apparent reason. Gollum won't be the only one with big eyes, nooo, every single freakin' character would have 'em. And to top it off, the ending would make no sense, but it would be be flashy and bright and every character would smile and nod knowingly.

  5. Tape delay? by LostCluster · · Score: 3, Funny

    Just how long will the Nebula Awards broadcast be delayed by the network just to make sure nothing untoward gets broadcast?
