Die Nominierungen zu den Nebula-Awards 2012

Na so­was, da hätte ich doch fast die Nebula-Nominierungen über­se­hen. Un­ent­schuld­bar. Aber im­mer­hin lie­fere ich sie jetzt nach. :o)

Die Ver­lei­hung wird im Rah­men der dies­jäh­ri­gen 47. Nebula-Convention im Hyatt Re­gency Crys­tal City in Ar­ling­ton, Vir­gi­nia statt­fin­den. Wie man be­reits ver­lau­ten ließ wird Con­nie Wil­lis dort auch für ihr Le­bens­werk den 2011 Da­mon Knight Grand Mas­ter Award er­hal­ten. Ver­lie­hen wer­den die Preise durch die Or­ga­ni­sa­tion »Sci­ence Fic­tion and Fan­tasy Wri­ters of Ame­rica« oder auch kurz SFWA.

Viel­leicht sollte Herr Sz­a­meit mal ein paar Bli­cke auf die No­mi­nier­ten wer­fen … :o)
