The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed a lack of awards chatter on the blog this year. This is for two reasons.

As promised, I’m back with a full list of the winners (‘cos who needs to write their dissertation presentation?) I’m always going to miss Stephen Fry as host, but Jonathon Ross did a decent job, and kept Stephen’s game of getting a random word into the show via a twitter vote. Unfortunately I missed that [...]
