You are right Tom, WMSE made several such videos, I guess the one you are thinking of is this one: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nobel_BrianSchmidt_2011-12-08.ogv
Will the winners be present at the announcement?

Hi Jon,
that is a great initiative. I've already spread the word among Wikimedia Brasil and Open Knowledge Brasil.
I'd like to suggest that you try to make a short video for the winner asking about Wikipedia and its importance. I think Wikimedia Sweden has made a cool short interview with some Nobel prize (I think chemestry) and it was really good. This can be even used to outreach at universities to bring more people to catalyse efforts to involve more schools on Wikimedia projects.
If you can do it, please, let us know.
Cheers,
Tom

Hi, all!
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this Friday, and in cooperation with Wikimedia Norge, the Nobel Peace Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Center has invited
Wikipedians
from the Norwegian Wikipedia community to an editathon to improve the article about the winner(s?) as soon as possible. We'll be sitting practically in the next room from where the announcement is made,
updating
relevant articles as fast as we can.
For this to be a global event, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested to join us in the IRC channel #wikipedia-nobel irc://freenode/#wikipedia-nobel, where we'll be talking and
coordinating.
We'll also try to livetweet the event using the hashtag #wikinobel https://twitter.com/hashtag/wikinobel, probably mainly from the
account
@WikimediaNorge https://twitter.com/WikimediaNorge.
The press conference will be start around 10:30 Norwegian time, which is *08:30 UTC*, like I said on *Friday, 10th of October*. Please join us, and help spread this invitation to your community.
