His Majesty’s Dragon, Naomi Novik (Del Rey)
Glasshouse, Charles Stross (Ace)
Rainbows End, Vernor Vinge (Tor)
Blindsight, Peter Watts (Tor)
Other categories can be found here.
It is interesting to note that three Dr Who episodes have been nominated again, along with an ep of Battlestar Galactica and one from Stargate SG-1 (my god! Is that still running!). I might try to read more than one of the novel nominees this year…
Judging at Worldcon on 1st September.
Update: In the interests of balance, here are the Nebula novel nominees, which this year—unusually—share no overlap with the Hugos:
The Privilege of the Sword, by Ellen Kushner (Bantam Spectra
Seeker, by Jack McDevitt (Ace)
The Girl in the Glass, by Jeffrey Ford (Dark Alley)
Farthing, by Jo Walton (Tor)
From the Files of the Time Rangers, by Richard Bowes (Golden Gryphon Press)

Winners announced 11-13 May 2007 in New York.

Blindsight is available online. I’m a few chapters into it, and I think I’m going to have to sleep with the lights on now.
The King’s Dragon is known as Temeraire down under, and is a fabulous romp: think a mixture of dragons, Hornblower, and Top Gun.
I haven’t got to the Stross or the Vinge yet, but they’re both certified geniuses.
