Science Fiction Awards Watch was a blog created in 2007 by Cheryl Morgan and Kevin Standlee, providing information on science fiction awards.[1][2] It succeeded their fanzine Emerald City, which shut down in November 2006.[2][3] The blog's objective was to report awards, give details about how the winners were selected, and foster reader interaction.[2]

Notable contributors include John Clute, Joe Gordon, Chris Roberson, Anna Tambour, Jeff VanderMeer, and Gary K. Wolfe.[4]

The blog had been noted as a source of "unbiased reporting and astute commentary" by science fiction author James Patrick Kelly in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.[5]

Why?), a space for informed people to debate the outcome of awards choices, create a good recommends list, showcase intelligent discussion of awards short-lists and nominees and encourage readers to partake in the popular vote-type awards rather than simply complaining about the results afterward."
