Nobel Prize.org is 1:23 from the announcement. Of course, yesterday was delayed.
#NobelPrize It’s possible that some of the nano tech pioneers will be awarded tonight but yeah no clue really.

#NobelPrize Or Bruce Ames may take it.

#NobelPrize so @Sci_ents is going with a long shot prediction of Horwich and Ulrich Hartl for the Chemistry Prize

Did someone not answer their phone?
Surpise! The Nobel for Physics goes to all of you, for your unceasing ability to obey its laws. Well done you.

Ian Tracey is head of @CERN UK – he shared this photo of a panel being ignored because their audience was waiting for the Nobel announcement. Which is delayed a bit longer.
Best new hashtag is FakeNobelDelayReasons
*****************
Early speculation is it will be Peter Higgs. Or a combination of Higgs and the experimentalists at CERN. Or a lot of people will be left out. Or no one will be happy. There is concern about giving due credit, and not diluting the prize. Etc.#twittersummary
@upulie shares some other possible contenders.
#NobelPrize Other contenders for Prize: discovery of iron-based superconductivity, discovery of exoplanets
