So the @dougwrightawards.bsky.social ceremony was also streamed online, and... this is what everybody saw when I went to do my acceptance speech. It's the funniest thing ever. I'm in tears.

A photo of me doing my acceptance speech, but the lectern is so big and high and the camera is set so low that you can only see half of my head. The mic is on my nose and makes it look like I have a black cartoon nose.
