It's alright, it's alright, it's just the MuppetCast thing seems awkward because for one thing there are different people from around the world who are probably up for awards, so when the ceremony takes place, in some parts of the world, they could possibly at work, or in bed, or something. And how would be actually participate in the MuppetCast ceremony?
Well really, unfortunately, there's no way to have acceptance speeches or anything during the MuppetCast. It would require having everyone who's even nominated for an award ready to call in and MAYBE accept their award. So this is why we have the forum ceremony too.
Unfortunately, there's really no way to make sure
everyone is on at the same time and able to give a speech if they win the award,
because of the time differences you talked about Snowthy. I know there were a bunch of people last year who weren't around to accept their awards at the time the ceremony was happening, that's why we put a link to the actual awards in the posts, so people who aren't around can come by and "pick them up."
I hope I'm doing a good job rationalizing all of this... Sometimes I feel just as confused as you guys. Just know that everything that can be done is being done to make this year's award show run smoothly and be downright awesome. Those who can and want to listen to the broadcast of the awards on The MuppetCast can and will, those who can't listen to the MuppetCast can come be a part of the fun here on the forums.
You will NOT miss anything if you can't listen to the cermony on The MuppetCast and/or you can't attend the cermony on the forum. One won't have half of the awards while the other presents the other half, each one will have the presentations for all of the awards.
If you want to be a part of the MC Awards, well, by golly, you'll be part of the MC awards, and if you don't, well that's okay too. I'm just trying to make sure everyone's happy.
I really hope you guys are following all of this, I feel like I may just be confusing things even more... Again, sorry for that.
