Just got this from Robert Rose…
Hey, it didn't occur to me till just now, but what does the cancellation of the 2020 San Diego Comic-Con mean for this year's Bill Finger award? Will it be skipped for this year or awarded remotely? And if it is awarded, might the lack of an in-person presentation affect the selection, since I gather you normally try to hand the "living" award to someone who can and will be present to accept?
Like many things in our lives now, it will continue but in a slightly-different manner. It will not be skipped. There will be Bill Finger Awards this year. And there will soon be an announcement about the form they will take. We're on top of this.
There will also be Eisner Awards. We just won't be gathering in the Indigo Ballroom at the Hilton Bayfront for their presentation…though if I win one, I just may drive down there, find a way into the Hilton and deliver an acceptance speech anyway.
