The Envelope, Please...

MedGadget has announced the 2005 Medical Weblog Awards, to considerable interest. There's even been some speculation as to how the awards ceremony will unfold.

Last year, I wondered if the show would run the show like other award telecasts:
I hope Dr. O goes all-out with this, Oscar-style: Excerpts from each nominee, Joan Rivers-style interviews, Lifetime Achievement awards, In Memoriam for defunct blogs... If he really wanted to, he could announce one winner every twenty minutes, dragging the proceedings well into the wee hours...

This year? We're in a position to make at least some of this happen. More details in the coming weeks...
