[...] Memorial Hall is also home to Sanders Theatre — originally a commencement hall, that has since played host to a number of notable figures like Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King in the past and the Ig Nobels in the present. And then of course, there is Annenberg Hall, one of the most impressive and awe-inspiring spaces on Harvard campus.

Having seen the last 40 minutes of live webcast, it’s as wacky as it gets. The idea of a little girl coming up to the stage and continously scoffing at award winner’s speeches(she would go “I am bored ,Please stop it”) once they cross a stipulated time explains the craziness of this show. Its “hard job” (ala from Bush’s debate) to put in words this sort of crazy event,but the blog effectively captures the essence of this awards show.
