The 2009 Nebula Award Nominees

The Science-Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America announced their nominees for the 2009 Nebula Awards, with the winners to be announced on May 15. I have to admit, I haven't read a single one of the stories or novels on the list, but that's something I should probably change very soon. On this site, we cover a lot more sci-fi movies than we cover sci-fi writing, so I'll start the list of nominees with the nominated films, all of which are excellent choices.

-- Star Trek, JJ Abrams
-- District 9, Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell
-- Avatar, James Cameron
-- Moon, Duncan Jones and Nathan Parker
-- Up, Bob Peterson and Pete Docter
