The Winners of the 61st Nebula Awards Are Here

The nonprofit Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America held its 61st annual Nebula Awards over the weekend, celebrating the best sci-fi and fantasy writing from 2025. The awards cover a broad swath of mediums, including literature, film, television, and games writing.

Stephen Graham Jones took home the top prize for his novel The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, while the underappreciated Apple TV series Murderbot, based on The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, scooped up the Ray Bradbury Nebula Award for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation. The award for Best Game Writing, perhaps unsurprisingly, given its incredible reception and near-total domination at the 2025 Game Awards, went to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The Nebulas also introduced a new award for Best Poem this year, which went to “The World To Come” by Jennifer Hudak.
