I missed seeing this last week, but luckily SF Awards Watch caught it – the mighty Joss Whedon is to receive the honour of a Bradbury, which will be presented at the Nebulas banquet in April.
“Like everyone who picks up a pen, I was a rabid Bradbury fan and as greatly influenced by him as any other writer I read. To receive the award named for him is an honor I’d not dreamed of. In my defense, it didn’t exist back then. What did exist were the very lovely, very twisted and very human stories that warped my impressionable mind, and that I have tried, in whatever medium they will let me, to measure up to,” Joss Whedon quoted on the SFWA LiveJournal.
