LACon IV, the 2006 Worldcon, has announced a special Hugo category for Best Interactive Video Game. This category will allow games, for any platform, to be nominated for a Hugo Award. This award is only to be given in 2006 for games released in 2005. The category implies, but does not make it clear, that a single game is considered the same on multiple platforms.
On January 3rd Tolkien fans around the world are invited to raise a glass and toast the birthday of this much loved author at 21:00 (9 pm) your local time.
The toast is "The Professor".
For those unfamiliar with British toast-drinking ceremonies: To make the Birthday Toast, you stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink (not necessarily alcoholic), and say the words 'The Professor' before taking a sip (or swig, if that's more appropriate for your drink). Sit and enjoy the rest of your drink.
Here is the entry form.
