[1:39] So back in two thousand sixteen for the drug hunter anniversary they launch the dragon awards and what it is.
They're mostly we wanted something a little bit different we wanted a wait for it to be a strictly san run award their for fans by fans their fan nominated fan voted it's all san based.
Yes requirements all in order to vote or nominated you don't need a god you don't need to pay a price you don't need anything,
you just go nominate because you're again a fan of a project there's fifteen different categories nominated.
Really yampi there is like best fantasy novel there's books there's a comic books tv shows movies a lot of really great categories
open the past five years i think we had about four hundred fifty different names and titles on the ballads.
[2:34] Yeah so it's.
Again fifteen sixteen winter is here year but it's become this list that people turn to for what to read what to watch what
play really love telling people about him

focus i am actually on the page right now and it is dragon out no i'm sorry it is awards.
[3:10] Start dragon con dot org and this is the dragon or so down.
[3:18] Use the right now because i think i just called it dragon con award and that's wrong so i know you're absolutely everybody.
Ok so people have to register to vote and so it was free and you don't have to be so how you do that.

Sports on the fifth if you register on the fourth on the fifth is the last day of boa so we take both up until midnight on the fifth.
[4:08] Everyone the most time in order to get that ballet to really think about it.
Set my absolute favorite heard about this ballad is you don't have to vote every single category,
who you are not a gamer or if you're not a movie watcher if you just really know science fiction novels and young adult novels like the back of your hand.
You only have to vote no you don't have to throw the entire ballet so it's really making it inclusive everyone but also allows people not just,
phillip with whatever they think they should i go down the list of me like this one sounds ok let me through there's a general
people are passionate about these particular titles that's why their voting on them that is very cool and i'm actually gonna say i'm looking down that i'm not.
[4:55] I don't keep up with comics or graphic novels.
During the year play just because it in twenty twenty three
but the best science fiction or fantasy tv series i have seen each and everyone
such a great list if it is so hard i saw that that last i don't know what would get my vote i think that is what's posing me from voting about particular category i can't decide.
Will just for people who aren't just sitting here
doing this and begin look at it altered carbon lost in space star trek picard the expanse the mandalore
zoey archer and the hbo watchmen so low wow wow i'm not in love,
that is very tough and oh my goodness goodness goodness that would be kind of i don't know that i can't exactly.
[6:00] I don't know what i'm gonna do an app because if i remember correctly and absolutely could be speaking around easily on this is leave the expanse is actually one in the past.
So that one is you know it phenomenal show i'm saying like it's got it's dragon maybe maybe something else
well gotta live the mandarin but i also have to say and somebody who is not a game or or comics.
No person that the richard me was absolutely amazing of there was both
laughter and tears and not sure what the heck was gone on to the whole thing i love it altered carbon on a swimming this is the one the season two yes anthony mackie which was wow lost in space i love lost in space.
[6:56] I didn't think i would but i really have so much
hey portal olivia strike a different note it's all difference for the fat rat come together to me.
Kind of the perfect representation of the dragon fans
hey shows so many different phantoms in one category alone i think that is what
i love it especially with it being in a virtual capacity this year any sort of way to bring.
Only stupid things together i'm full for will also again star trek picard.
Yes that steve reason we started paying for cbs all access card yes we just yeah.
It's patrick stewart of course of the buggles you got me you've got me cbs alexa but what's really interesting is.
[8:07] It again shows how much of a golden era we are in in science fiction and fantasy tv
actually not involved that it's it's not this science fiction fantasy of science fiction novel category there's actually one more in this category that ever had in years past so instead of your being ninety-one,
names on the ballet regular ninety-two this year because it's one more and the best science fiction novels it's such.
Instant array of works as well that you have atwood who is most known for henry i still believe you have getting tonight which is a very.
[8:46] I mean the world when have a story all of these different books are

Set my another thing i really enjoy about the aso awards is that nominations at the ability to nominate one of your favorite works opens in october november so you have an author or game maker or.
Is somebody media that you want to nominate that sleep opens up and you can nominate again like the ballet you don't have to nominate never single category if you just.
No you're really like you know games are you know movies you can just nominated those areas so i think it's really really great to give it.
[16:40] It's not four seeing you to pick names a different category if you don't know them.
Understood no i don't want to ask so for registration as we said to register.
Oh folks but if you do that do you have to is if i register last year do i have to register again.
I believe you do yes i think so too i'm actually doing that.
End the call thing about this and ohio players announce this is where actually running a contest us sweepstakes i will say it's one of the other there's really no entry for it so i don't know if i can call this week steaks
