It seems a little early in the calendar for this, but the 2022 Ig Nobel Prizes have been announced by those wacky scientists that run the Annals of Improbable Research (not quite as prestigious as the Swedish Academy, but one must take what one can get). The announcement and ceremony for the Ig Nobels seem to be timed just before the announcements for actual Nobel Prizes.
