Natalie Luhrs explains why I was SO GLAD I hadn't traveled further than my living room to watch the Hugo presentation.

And it includes the link to the fabulous transformative work of Chelsea anoutlawlife who cut half the running time of the presentation.

The remixed video includes:

• The category announcements
• The finalists names on screen
• The acceptance speeches.

Luhrs' headline is *splendid*, wow!

He mispronounced FIYAH, a publication owned, edited, and written by Black people.
A word which is, we all need to note, spelled phonetically, no less! FFS.

OMG, I'm thinking you might have been able to hear Emma and I scream WTF from two time zones away yesterday late afternoon Pacific time.

The sheer aggression remaining even in the Condensed Hugo Awards. I wonder if Jennette just happened to have her hat newly acquired last year handy or if there was some running to retrieve it from its usual home.

I was surprised the Hugos were so 'early' but I suppose time means much less when WorldCon is happening over so many timezones.

I agree that Kowal's segment was the most interesting. Also among the best recorded -- we could all use (decent) captions for the different recording levels. With my volume turned all the way up I couldn't hear Neil Gaiman's section.
