Thank you!!!!
I just realized the announcements will be around lunch time, perfect…. no staying up late required.
Yes, 12:30 pm Eastern US (EDT). Pleased I won’t be up past my bedtime this year! 🙂
Cheryl Morgan warns Hugo fans that there is a fake group on Facebook advertising that it is livestreaming the Hugos (possibly bait to spread malware). Don’t join the group, don’t click any of the links on the page.
The actual livestream is the one linked in the main post:

Weeeell this is going to be way past my bedtime, BUT I’m traveling back to Asia from Europe and will be hella jetlagged this weekend… so maybe I’ll catch some ill-advised 3am Hugo action anyway.
ETA huh, in fact Eastern European time is only 2.5 hours ahead so I can basically watch as part of a normal evening! Too bad it never seems to work out this well for Eurovision.
Oh, goody. I just messaged them about that the other day. I like the ceremony.
This will be my first time actually watching the ceremony (for obvious reasons) – I’ve usually just followed along on twitter or a ustream chat. But here’s hoping we’ll all see Paul Weimer get to give a little acceptance speech!
