2005 Nebula Awards Weekend

2005 Nebula Awards Weekend

The 2005 Nebula Awards Weekend was held in Chicago, Illinois at the Allegro Hotel from April 28-May 1. As usual in this age of digital photography, the taking of blackmail photos was not just suggested, but compulsory.

Scott Edelman kisses
Grand Master Anne McCaffrey
on one cheek while
Joe Haldeman busses the other
Scott grabs hold of Janis Ian
and just won't let go
Watch out for Jeffrey Liss—
he's a lawyer and a writer,
so if you don't buy his stories,
he'll sue you!

Competing Nebula nominees
Ellen Klages and Andy Duncan
are all smiles the night
before the ceremony
Ellen Datlow reaches
for her camera at dinner—
—but Eileen Gunn proves
faster on the draw

Laurel Winter taught us all
"why goldfish shouldn't
use power tools"
When I was teaching Clarion in
1999, Toby Buckell seemed to
write a story a day—and I don't
think he's stopped that habit since
Sadly, this is the only way I
can get Connie Willis, Mike Resnick
and Gardner Dozois to look up to me

Stanley Schmidt, editor of Analog,
announces the winners of that
magazine's 2004 Readers' Award—
—while Sheila Williams,
editor of Asimov's, does
the same for her writers
Michael Resnick, the only winner
present, beams after winning for
"Travels With My Cats"

Andy and Sydney Duncan are likely
the only couple ever to have been
brought together due to
Manley Wade Wellman
(for details, you'll have to ask them)
Schmoozing with Mary Turzillo
and Geoff Landis at their table
at the Nebula banquet
Toastmaster Neil Gaiman keeps
the rowdy SFWAns under control

Ellen Klages holds the
Best Novella Nebula trophy
for her story "Basement Magic"
Eileen Gunn cradles
the Best Short Story Nebula
trophy for "Coming to Terms"
Neil Gaiman congratulates
Ellen and Eileen on their wins
(and that's Silly String in Eileen's
hair ... you had to be there)

Todd McCaffrey, covered in
silly string, holds his mother's
Grand Master trophy
The McCaffrey family surrounds
the newly inducted Grand Master
Celebrating after the ceremony,
Eileen Gunn and Ellen Klages
toast each other's wins
