 Nebula Awards Showcase 2006 by Gardner Dozois
Rounding out Nebula Awards Showcase 2006 are essays on SF’s future by a panel of SFWA grand masters, and the best in SF poetry.
Street smarts have it that Nebula winners tend to the literary side of things as those voting are fellow publishing professionals and writers, in contrast to the Hugos, which are relatively more fan-driven.
A notable aspect of Nebula Awards Showcase 2006 is hearing from the SFWA’s honored Grand Masters Jack Williamson, Frederik Pohl, Robert Silverberg, Ursula K. Le Guin and Brian W. Aldiss on whither SF as a literary form.

 "Reflections: Grand Masters, the Sequel" by Robert Silverberg   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Since 1965 SFWA had been giving its Nebula trophy annually to the authors of the best novels and short fiction of the previous year; but Pournelle felt that the accomplishments of some of our greatest figures were being slighted, because they had done their outstanding work in the years prior to the Nebula’s inception.
But of course a group of Grand Masters of Science Fiction that did not include Isaac Asimov was plainly incomplete; and his torment came to an end in 1987 at a ceremony in New York.
A Grand Master I may indeed be, now, but in the company of Robert A. Heinlein and Jack Williamson and L. Sprague de Camp and Frederik Pohl and Clifford D. Simak I’m always going to feel like the new kid on the block.

 Grand master of fabulism
That's why his fellow authors await both eagerly and anxiously to hear what Ellison has to say Saturday, when he will be named Grand Master at this year's Nebula Awards ceremony in Tempe.
Held in Arizona for the first time, the Nebulas are given by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, which Ellison helped found in 1965 and which he has publicly derided as parochial, unprofessional, ignorant and irrelevant.
The Nebula was supposed to have been the blue-ribbon thing, but there is so much being published and so many members that it is almost impossible to separate the two.

 Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame -- Science Fiction HOF -- Fritz Leiber   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Its mosaic narrative technique, through which events are observed through a multiplicity of viewpoints, foreshadowed the profusion of similar novels and films in the 1970s.
Noted also for his fantasies in modern settings, such as "Belsen Express" (1975), Leiber was the most influential model for the sudden creation in the 1980s of the subgenre of contemporary (or urban) fantasy.
Leiber’s many awards include the 1975 Grand Master of Fantasy (Gandalf) Award, the 1976 Life Achievement Lovecraft Award, the 1981 Grand Master Nebula, six Hugos, four Nebulas and approximately 20 others.

Heinlein won four Hugo awards for best novel (an unmatched record), the first Grand Master Nebula ever awarded, the Sequoyah award for best novel for young people, and was nominated for a dozen more major awards.
However, in 1976 he was awarded the first-ever Grand Master Nebula for Lifetime Achievement.
Although some feel that too many GM Nebulas have now been handed out, there is no argument that Heinlein stood first in line to receive one.

Sprague de Camp, grand master of science fiction, died last November, just three weeks short of his 93rd birthday.
In 1976 he received the Grand Master Award for Lifetime Achievement in Fantasy, and the Science Fiction Writers of America presented him their Grand Master Nebula Award in 1978, one of the few writers ever to be so honored.
The Ransom Center is proud to have the L. Sprague de Camp and Catherine Crook de Camp Endowment for the study of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

 The Templeton Gate - Authors - Clifford D. Simak
This is a story that closely resembles a lot of '50s "paranoid" SF, such as Heinlein's The Puppet Masters and Jack Finney's Invasion of the Body Snatchers, both of which were thinly-veiled looks at communist infiltration of America.
His masterful prose is a blueprint on how to tell a story with wit and style, never losing sight of the fact that in order to be entertained the reader must also sympathize and identify with the protagonist.
It is highly possible that Clifford Simak is a relatively unknown name to the majority of recent SF readers, and that of course would be a shame if it is true.
