Campbell Award: Mary Robinette Kowal
Mary Robinette Kowal’s winning the Campbell Award was a real audience pleaser, one of the most loudly cheered events of the night. Adding interest, she not only received the award plaque, she received the “Campbell Award Tiara,” an elegant piece of jewelry that went well with her yellow gown.
A more esoteric audience pleaser, that fans approved once it was pointed out to them, was the selection as the sample clip from Heroes of the scene where LASFS member Tadao Tomomatsu in his role as a detective questions one of the series’ regular characters. Outstanding!
Update 8/10/2008: Made change reflecting David Levine’s correction.
The Campbell Tiara is not new. I believe it was initiated by Jay Lake and first presented to Elizabeth Bear in 2005.
