The 2012 Hugos were awarded yesterday on Worldcon. The ceremony was transmitted live on the web until the robots shut it down. No, that's not an SF story - it's the automated DRM protection of Upstream that stopped streaming right in the middle of ceremony during Gaiman's acceptance speech. This means the internets only learned about him writing another Doctor Who episode from twitter. Not quite the same as hearing it from the man's mouth. Who wants to bet that that means another Hugo both for him and Doctor Who?
