Brigid Alverson writes at Robot6:
The ceremony began with comedian Richard Gaitet, clad in a neon-blue suit and red bow tie, announcing, ?This will be the shortest ceremony in history, because all we want to do is drink and dance.? He proceeded to present nine awards in rapid succession, including the award for best series to Saga, best comic for young people to Aaron Renier?s The Unsinkable Walker Bean, and the Fauve d?Or, the big prize, to Arsène Schrauwen, by Olivier Schrauwen. And then two women appeared and said, ?Bravo Richard, for that joke about the false fauves [awards] and the size of the Grand Prix. We laughed a lot, but now we must go.? And then they presented the real awards because that first set? That was fake.
What is going on over there?
