Thanks. I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet. :)

Thanks. Interesting how few of the novels and stories I've read. A Feast For Crows was very good, I could see it winning.

And Connie Willis has a nomination so she'll probably win. It's amazing how few people seem to know who she is when she's won so many awards. I think it's because she writes so few books. Every single one seems to get nominated but when it's been six long years since her last book...

I sure hope "Serenity" wins for Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form). Stunning movie; too bad the series got canceled prematurely.
