Nebula Award for Novel
The Saint of Bright Doors, Vajra Chandrasekera
The Water Outlaws, S.L. Huang
Translation State, Ann Leckie
The Terraformers, Annalee Newitz
Shigidi and the Brass Head of Obalufon, Wole Talabi
Witch King, Martha Wells
This was an excellent book and definitely would have had my vote. (Does have my vote, over in the Hugos.)
Nebula Award for Novella
“Linghun”, Ai Jiang (Linghun)
The Crane Husband, Kelly Barnhill (Tordotcom)
Thornhedge, T. Kingfisher (Tor; Titan UK)
Untethered Sky, Fonda Lee (Tordotcom)
The Mimicking of Known Successes, Malka Older (Tordotcom)
Mammoths at the Gates, Nghi Vo (Tordotcom)
I haven't read this but it's interesting to see a non-tordotcom winner.
Nebula Award for Novelette
“The Year Without Sunshine“, Naomi Kritzer (Uncanny 11-12/23)
“A Short Biography of a Conscious Chair“, Renan Bernardo (Samovar 2/23)
I Am AI, Ai Jiang (Shortwave)
“Imagine: Purple-Haired Girl Shooting Down The Moon“, Angela Liu (Clarkesworld 6/23)
“Saturday’s Song“, Wole Talabi (Lightspeed 5/23)
“Six Versions of My Brother Found Under the Bridge“, Eugenia Triantafyllou (Uncanny 9-10/23)
If this wasn't favored to win the Hugo before, it is now. I haven't read half of these but seems like a fine outcome to me and I liked Kritzer's speech.
Nebula Award for Short Story
“Tantie Merle and the Farmhand 4200“, R.S.A Garcia (Uncanny 7-8/23)
“Once Upon a Time at The Oakmont“, P.A. Cornell (Fantasy 10/23)
“Window Boy“, Thomas Ha (Clarkesworld 8/23)
“The Sound of Children Screaming”, Rachael K. Jones (Nightmare 10/23)
“Better Living Through Algorithms”, Naomi Kritzer (Clarkesworld 5/23)
“Bad Doors”, John Wiswell (Uncanny 1-2/23)
I have not read this story (nor half the others).
Andre Norton Nebula Award for Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction
To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, Moniquill Blackgoose
The Inn at the Amethyst Lantern, J. Dianne Dotson
Liberty’s Daughter, Naomi Kritzer
The Ghost Job, Greg van Eekhout
Ooh, yay! This is the outcome I wanted, and I liked her speech.
Nebula Award for Game Writing
Baldur’s Gate 3
The Bread Must Rise
Alan Wake II
Ninefox Gambit: Machineries of Empire Roleplaying Game
Dredge
Chants of Sennaar
I don't go here. I like that the actual creators (or at least two major ones?) have shown up to accept it - seems like a good sign for doing game awards, that the recipients think they're worthwhile.
Ray Bradbury Nebula Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation
Barbie
Nimona
The Last of Us: “Long, Long Time”
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
The Boy and the Heron
Yeah, I can see it. I'll be interested to see whether the Hugo goes the same way. (I haven't figured out what I'm doing there myself...)
