I'm sure there are years when the Nebula Awards go to baffling choices, but I think they did a good job this year.
Best Novelettte "The Waiting Stars" is my favorite thing I've ever read by Aliette de Bodard, who I am often not so into; Best Novella "The Weight of the Sunrise" by Vylar Kaftan is an excellent alternate-history work that I wish had made the Hugo ballot. Ancillary Justice for Best Novel. I haven't read the Norton winner but will get right on that. (You can find links to many of the short fiction Nebula runners-up on the front page here.)
