2000 Nebula Awards®
Presented at Beverly Hilton, Beverly Hills, CA on Saturday, April 28, 2001
This year’s Nebula Awards® was the first of two to be held in conjunction with the LA Times Book Fair. In both years, several authors participated at the fair, but did not make an appearance at the Nebula Awards®. Arthur C. Clarke was named Guest of Honor in absentia due to the year and sent an e-mail of thanks. Neil Gaiman served as toastmaster and screenwriter Paul Guay was the keynote speaker. Ray Bradbury was present just long enough to present the Ray Bradbury Award to Harlan Ellison. Photos by Keith Stokes.
