So how many people are planning on waking early just to watch the Oscar nominations? Or do you usually wake up around that time anyway?

btw, what is the real time they announce it? like 5:40am PST?

I get up about an hour after the announcements. So I'll just wait till then.

I think I am. And then going back to sleep when they're done, as I have the morning off.

I'm really psyched for this year, I don't know why. Maybe because it's been so unpredictable.

I think we're gonna see at least one blockbuster WTF tomorrow. Last year had Iwo Jima storming the beaches and grenading Dreamgirls, year before saw Star Wars locked out of visual effects, before that, Giamatti.

This guy!

I'm fuckin' pumped. I could throw a Geo Metro across the street.

I've woken up early for the announcement for the last 7 years. No point in stopping now.

I'm already awake at 5, so yes. I'm definitely excited.


heh.

It's always been round 5:38 AM Pacific. And yes, I'm already wide awake then as I leave for work shortly.

Early riser for the nods since 1998!

Since I live in the central time zone, I'll be in school, but what the hell it is just morning announcements, and I usually don't do much until we start filming so I guess I could sneak a peak before hand.

I'm in the same boat in terms of being psyched for the nominations. I also think it is because it has been so unpredictable, and while I like to think I've got the major categories pinned down, I really am very unsure about my predictions. I could see there being many surprises.

I will be up to catch the nominations, but that's because I'd have to be up anyways for class (I'm in the Eastern time zone, so they announce here at 8:30am, which isn't really that early).

Peace,
Mike

Oh yeah, what channel will they be on? E!?

I'll be at work.

But like a total nerd, I am taping the announcements and watching them when I come home. And I won't be checking during the day and getting spoiled.

Excellent! I don't have a TV, so that allows me to watch them live. Thanks loyal.

Peace,
Mike

E! fo sho.

I'm getting up early. Probably not 5:30, but a little bit earlier than I usually do. (I'm usually up around 6:15 AM.)

Yessiree bob! I'm excited. It's a fun year.

The network morning shows usually broadcast it, since they're such a big announcement. I'll be checking them out on ABC or NBC, probably.

For the first time they're at 8:30 for me

So yeah

Hahaha, wooohooo Rod. I forget sometimes you're a Canadian now! Woot. Well, at least in my view.

Peace,
Mike

I did it last year life for the first time...so much fun.

The two years prior I taped them and watched them when I got home from school.

I are.

No I'll be asleep. I don't have a class until two tomorrow so I get to sleep in a bit. I'll TiVo them though and then watch it right after I get up.

I was so pissed last year. I hit the snooze button and woke up when it was over.

But I won't miss it this time. Even though I'm going to be reading for the next 3 hours till like 1am probably because I didn't do any of the work I should have this weekend.

Don't worry Christian, you're off duty this time.

I am and it will probably piss off my roommate but oh well!
