The 2004 Nebula Awards for best science fiction or fantasy were presented on April 30, 2005 by SFWA® at its annual awards banquet at the Allegro Hotel in Chicago.

The Nebula Awards are voted on, and presented by, active members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc. Founded as the Science Fiction Writers of America in 1965 by Damon Knight, the organization began with a charter membership of 78 writers; it now has over 1,500 members, among them most of the leading writers of science fiction and fantasy.

The winners are:

    Best Novel of 2004 - Paladin of Souls by Lois McMaster Bujold (Eos, Oct03)

    Best Novella of 2004 - "The Green Leopard Plague" by Walter Jon Williams (Asimov's, Oct/Nov 2003)

    Best Novelette of 2004 - "Basement Magic" by Ellen Klages (F&SF, May03)

    Best Short Story of 2004 - "Coming to Terms" by Eileen Gunn (Stable Strategies and Others, Tachyon Publications, Sep 2004)

    Best Script of 2004 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson (New Line Cinema)

The Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award was presented to Anne McCaffrey for lifetime achievement in the field. She is only the twenty-second writer so honored by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America since 1974.

A special "Service to SFWA" award was given to Kevin O'Donnell Jr. in recognition of his 16 years of volunteer service to the organization.
