I'm aware that most SFF fans don't give a damn, but the 2011 nominees have just been announced.
Best NovelBlackout/All Clear by Connie Willis (Ballantine Spectra)
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold (Baen)
The Dervish House by Ian McDonald (Gollancz; Pyr)
Feed by Mira Grant (Orbit)
The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin (Orbit)
As several people have already pointed out on various message boards, it is indeed a pretty weak list this year. Here's to hoping that Ian McDonald gets his hands on the award this year!
