Hugh at the 2009 Giller Prize - Video & Photos
The Giller Prize celebrates excellence in Canadian literature and awards the largest monetary prize of it's kind to the winner. At the live broadcast this past Tuesday, Hugh introduced Colin McAdam, one of the 5 authors shortlisted for the prize this year.
I've edited down a video to just the portions including Hugh. It's quite amusing how close Hugh leans in to the mic while he's speaking. Seems like he was straining a bit to see the teleprompter, too. Gettin' old...time for some glasses, Hugh, lol! Also, Midori is in the audience looking very lovely!
