Hugos
You (may have) heard it here first (unless like me you got it from [info]drewan who has photographs):

Big Heart Award was awarded to Forest J Ackerman. And they have changed the name of the award to the Forest J Ackerman Big Heart Award
Campbell Award Winner: John Scalzi
Fan Artist: Frank Wu
Fan Writer: Dave Langford
Best Fanzine: Plokta
Best Semiprozine: Locus
Best Pro Artist: Donato Giancola
Best Editor: David Hartwell
Best Dramatic Fiction (Short): Doctor Who "The Empty Child" and "The Doctor Dances"
Best Dramatic Presentation Long Form: Serenity
Best Related Book: Storyteller
Best Short Story: "Tk'tk'tk" by David D Levine
Best Novelette: "Two Hearts" by Peter S Beagle
Best Novella: "Inside Job" by Connie Willis
Best Novel: Spin by Robert Charles Wilson

Well, I called two out of four in the fiction categories. Delighted about Doctor Who and Serenity, of course, and Plokta and Dave Langford as well.

Stunned that, as with the Nebulas, "Singing My Sister Down" didn't win the short story category.

How will poor Connie Willis find room on the mantelpiece for her nine, count 'em, nine Hugos?

*squeal!!!!* Actually, I heard via [info]peteyoung, who was at the top of my flist when I signed in this morning, but he referred to you. I'm personally very pleased for [info]davidlevine, cause he's a friend and all. But I couldn't yet find anything via Google confirming the news posted, so I read more carefully and found his reference to you.

So, what did you do? Stay up late? Have someone there e-mail immediate results?

Got it from [info]drewan, who I found by icerocket I think!

How old is [info]davidlevine, do you know?

Er, ooops. Nope, 'fraid not. He's a year or two out from my own age - we were going to some of the same conventions when I was fresh out of high school, and he was already in college.

According to the Fannish calendar, he was born on February 21, 1961.

Hah, thanks. I suspected it must be about then.

Take advice from Dave Langford, perhaps?

Thank you. I did indeed find out from you (though I knew Stross didn't win the novel one).

Thanks for posting this.

I got up especially to get the Hugo news and knew you would somehow have the details. Your LJ was the first place I looked and I wasn't disappointed.

Connie Willis can just do like Charles Brown does with the Locus Awards--they're scattered all over the living room. It's a nice effect, rockets everywhere you look.

Yep, I did hear it here first. But that's because I've just flown in from the States (where I was on business entirely unrelated WorldCon :-( ), and my body thinks it's about 10am and I'm generally just screwed up. ;-)

Yay for Dr. Who.

Looks like I was very wrong with Dr Who and the voting. I'm glad I was wrong, of course, but it just shows I shouldn't make snap judgements about awards and voting systems I don't know well enough.
