Last month, Peter Jackson and some of the cast from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug did a Q&A with fans that was simulcast across the globe, and they'll be talking directly to the fans again later today.  Jackson and stars Richard Armitage (who plays the dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield) and Evangeline Lilly (who plays the elf Tauriel) will be doing at Google Hangout at 10:15 PST.  If you plan to ask them a question, make sure it's the most obscure, esoteric question possible.  If you stump them, you win!  Your prize is awkward silence.

Hit the jump to watch the Google Hangout.  The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens in 2D, 3D, HFR 3D, and IMAX 3D on December 13th.
