2 Hugo Awards, and one other scoop from WorldCon

Not that I normally cover them, but I’m receiving word (via text message from my mother at WorldCon) that the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form) went to Stardust, and Best Novel went to The Yiddish Policemen’s Union by Michael Chabon. EDIT: A Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) went to the Doctor Who episode “Blink”, which is my favorite Dr. Who episode ever, and possibly in my top 10 science fiction episodes ever.

Also, I received word that the newest Game of Thrones book is behind schedule.
