The livestream will be available here https://watch.thefantasy.network/the-2020-hugo-awards/
Times:
- Wellington NZ: Saturday 1 August 11 am
- Sydney AU: Saturday 1 August 9 am – nice!
- Perth AU/Hong Kong/Singapore: Saturday 1 August 7 am
- Delhi: Saturday 1 August 4:30 am
- Most of Europe & Africa: Saturday 1 August 1 am
- UK & other more westerly bits: Midnight Friday 31 July/August 1
- New York/ East Coast US: Friday 31 July 7 pm.
- All those other US time zones: etc I lost track
- Hawaii: Friday 31 July 1 pm.
It’s a neat problem of how to schedule a worldwide event so it hits civilised times. In this case, NZ gets a rare opportunity to pick but Europe & Africa have to have a late night party.
And we who live on the US East Coast hit the sweet spot. WOO!

In the meantime if you want to watch a replay of the Retro Hugos: https://watch.thefantasy.network/
I enjoyed seeing the presenters (recent finalists and winners and the artist GoH) and they give a little info on each of the finalists.

Oh no! How long is your drive? I’ve heard they had issues at least initially with the Retros and the Masquerade. Maybe you’ll only miss the glitchy start.

Just ten minutes, fortunately. That’s what I’m hoping, too. The only time I’ve ever been hoping for technical difficulties.
