So, remember those Dragon Awards last year?

No? Yes? Maybe?

The Dragon Awards are DragonCon's answer to the glut of award competitions that are facing issues and difficulties, usually because they limit those who would nominate to select groups, thereby causing no end of problems. Which is to be expected when you're restricting in some manner your selection of who is allowed to nominate and vote for the "best" of anything.

Well, the 2016 Hugo Award finalists have been announced. And ... I can't say the list is surprising. Good? I also can't say that. At this point, the only topic of the entire set that seems to have any relevancy at all to the real world is the category for film, which looks to be a four-way battle between Fury Road, The Martian, The Force Awakens, and Age of Ultron.

In case you missed it, yesterday the winners of the Dragon Awards were announced and awarded.

What are the Dragon Awards? They’re a set of awards given out by Dragon Con, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Gaming con with over 70,000+ attendees—a pretty significant number compared to other cons out there. Still not heard of them? That’s fair. After all, this was their first year.

Yup, I'm an American. And that means that once a year, when July 4th rolls around, I freaking love it.

Okay, yes, I know it's tomorrow. But back home, when I was younger, it was a multi-day celebration (I believe it's up to a week of events, now).

I was quite nervous about how the Ursa Major Awards presentation Ceremony would go off, but to my great relief, things went pretty smoothly. Jay Stoat was the MC as he's a much better public speaker than me, and Logan Husky added some professional touches in the AV department. The event went for about half an hour, and I proudly boast that it was the best ever. Thanks to FurDU and its staff for hosting it. Video of the event should be available soon, but you can check out the results on the
