Nebula Awards Weekend 2000: Best Novella Category

Posted by: Scott    Tags:  Nebula Awards    Posted date:  August 20, 2009  |  No comment


Is it possible to overdose on ham? Today’s the day we find out, because this restaurant is serving up another helping of me from the 2000 Nebula Awards weekend. The latest clip shows me introducing John Kessel, who then announces the winner in the Best Novella category.

If you bother to watch this all the way through, you’ll learn who won that year, but you won’t see anyone take the stage to claim the trophy, because a) the winner wasn’t present (and SFWA long ago abandoned the “you must be present to win” rule), plus b) even without the acceptor reading the e-mailed speech, the clip was already at 9:50, and if included would have put it way over YouTube’s 10-minute limit.

Even if you don’t want to watch this because I bore you to tears, watch it for John—he’s hilarious!
