Not these nominations. A book gets nominated to one of these, its going to be a great one. Slaughter-house five was mentioned by vivaldirules. It garnered a hugo nomination (the winner that year was The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin to get the idea of competition).
Also, just to answer a few comments: Im only including the category of novel. Novelette, novela, and short story awards are not counted.
Ill look into the clarke award. The big two in terms of industry respect and prestige are the Hugo and Nebula. The third is probably the Locus award.
