Congratulations to all of the winners! And, to the not-quite-winners...well, you till get to say "Nebula Nominee" for the rest of your life, which is not nothing. And there's always next year.

I'm sure certain sectors of the Internet are already grousing about one winner or another, but I had no horses in this particular race, so I'm in the unusual (for me) position of being able to be simply happy for the winners.
