Wonder what’s the point of having an award ceremony just before the Hugos; does this happen often?
I asked about that. They said next weekend wasn’t an option, and one of the host’s schedules was also a factor. But it does seem to detract from the attention they would otherwise get.
Aurora Awards’ Ceremony, 90 minutes; early during the 90 minutes are acceptance speeches by Hall of Fame inductees Chris Hadfield, Nalo Hopkinson, Jo Walton.

The Aurora schedule doesn’t usually overlap quite so definitively with the Hugos as it did this year; no it’s not like this every year, and yes we would like more fandom attention for our wonderful Canadian creators!
