美国科幻奇幻作家协会（SFWA）近日公布了2009年星云奖的候选名单。http://www.nebulaawards.com/index.php/guest_blogs/2009_nebula_award_ballot1/
星云奖奖杯
五月十五日，星云奖颁奖仪式将会在佛罗里达州的希尔顿可可海滨酒店举行，该地离著名的肯尼迪航天中心仅二十分钟路程。同时颁发的还有表彰青少年幻想小说的安德烈·诺顿奖，表彰优秀幻想电影剧本的布拉德伯利奖，以及颁发给对幻想小说有特殊贡献者的Solstice奖。
曾在2009年11期《科幻世界·译文版》上刊登过的短中篇小说《赌徒》《The Gambler》，同时也是雨果奖提名作品。作者保罗·巴奇加卢皮（Paolo Bacigalupi）的长篇处女作《The Windup Girl》也入围了候选名单，据说这位科幻作家是懂得中文的，说不定有机会与中国读者直接交流。
长中篇小说《The Women of Nell Gwynne's》的作者Kage Baker，这位女作家今年1月31日刚刚去世，令人痛惜。
另外，已为中国读者熟知的南希·克雷斯有一部长中篇小说入围，去年以一篇《二十六只猴子》《26 Monkeys, Also the Abyss》（《科幻世界·译文版》2009年第3期）获得雨果星云双奖提名的作者凯济.约翰逊（Kij Johnson）也有作品入围。
而颁发给电影剧本的六部作品相信大家都非常熟悉：
分别是《星际迷航》《第九区》《阿凡达》《月球》《飞屋环游记》和《卡萝兰》。
