Default 2006 Hugo Award Winners

While looking on Whedonesque.com, they had a link to the 2006 Hugo Award Winners, which were announced Yesterday (Saturday, August 26, 2006). These awards were presented to the best works of Sci-Fi in 2005.

The only thing that struck my eye (Well, because I'm a fan of Firefly and mostly anything JW related) was this:

Quote:

"Doctor Who" won the short form...

Default You Tube has JW's acceptance speach (read by pretty lady)

On a side note, you tube has a short video of the Serenity 2006 Hugo award acceptance speech (written by Joss Whedon (JW) and read by Morena Baccarin). Joss has a good sense of humor. Anyway, if anyone is mildly interested in watching it, here is the link:
