I'm pretty lucky because I don't live on the West Coast.  I couldn't imagine waking up at 5:30 am for any reason.  It's unholy and I just won't have it.

Anyway I finally got the streaming video going for the nominations, which will be presented by the great Melissa McCarthy, who you know from Bridesmaids.  Again, I think that instead of it being a reward, having to get up so early should be a punishment- maybe they should give the job to Sheen or something.  Joshua Jackson is joining McCarthy and I'm always constantly surprised that he's remained so handsome.  Mama likes.

Also, I was intending on live blogging this whole shebang but they just get up there and read the nominees so flipping fast I couldn't.  MY FINGERS DON'T MOVE THAT FAST.
