LIVE Blogging the Nominations Announcements (Yes, I'm up at 5 a.m.)

Posted Tue, Jan 22, 2008, 5:24 AM

Dear Academy,

Why are you making me get up this early?  You're announcing the nominees for the Oscars at 5:30 in the morning on the day after a holiday weekend.  Why do you hate me?  Is it because I made fun of your telecast last year?  Come on, what did you expect?  You had a dance troupe that made shadow puppets, for crying out loud. 

All right, you win this round.  But I'll warn you... I may be up, but I am extra cranky.

So let's do this...

Sincerely,

J. Keith van Straaten
