They announce the Medicine prize winners outside the Nobel forum, just across the road from where I work. I'll try to get down there on Monday to see it announced first hand.
It looks like their website will link to a youtube channel where they will make archival footage of speeches, announcement, and awards available. Could be fun to watch.
