As always we’re looking for some extra helping hands for the ceremony. We need presenters and we need interviewers. In the above post you can see the dates for when I need to have heard from you if you’re interested in these jobs. However I need more than just an “I’ll do it”. Here’s how it works:
Interviewers:
The simpler of the two jobs, but a lot of fun. As an interviewer, you roam the red carpet and/or after party asking questions to the attending members. If you’re interested in this task, send a PM my way no later than January 7th, and let me know if you’re interested in being an interviewer for the red carpet, the after party or both.
You must also include five questions to ask while you’re on the job, and get them approved. You HAVE to ask these questions when you’re on the carpet/party, but may of course ask a whole lot more
Presenters:
To be a presenter, you need to:
~ Explain the award you are presenting in a creative fashion.
~ Announce the nominees.
~ “Open the envelope” and announce the winner.
If you want to be a presenter, PM me no later than January 3rd and let me know which days you can host, listing them by which day would be the best for you. The ceremony runs between January 16th and 18th, and you need to be sure you are able to attend and present on the days you’ve listed.
You’ll also need to include an “audition piece” if you haven’t presented before, meaning you write up an example of how you would present an award in one of the following categories: “Most Obsessed: Disney Movies”, “Most Hilarious”, “Best Role Player”, or “Member Relations”. If you’re accepted as presenter you will get a PM back from me when the ceremony draws near, telling you what award(s) you will be presenting. There will be roughly five different presenters.
Here’s an example of what your PM should look like (stolen from last year’s pre-planning thread ‘cause re-inventing the wheel sucks):
I would like to present an award.
1) Saturday --> Day you’re most available for.
2) Sunday --> Day your second most available for.
3) Friday--> Day your least available for.

Pearl: That was strange. I really don't get the space time continuum. Anyways, here at Disneysites, we have people that actually have an obsession life outside of Disney!
Remy: No!
Pearl: Yes Shocking isn’t it? And some have even gotten others to join in with their obsessions. We have some who are obsessed with hobbits, the movies, space time continuums, doctors…
House Fans: WILSON!!!!
Pearl: And strange romantic comedies. Some even have a cult following. (*takes off her doctors coat to reveal she is wearing a shirt that says “Chuck and Cindy: The Wedding” on it.*)
The nominees for Most Obsessed Non-Disney are…
*The Presentation example was Pearl’s from last year’s ceremony.
Your presentations will be viewed by me and the host, and we have the authority to not “hire” you for the job if it doesn’t meet the standard. This goes for last year’s winners as well. If you are one of last year’s winners and would like to present I will be needing your PM by December 3rd. You’ll have first dibs on presenting.
I would also like to remind you that if you sign up for presenting duty then that is a commitment that should be taken seriously, for the sake of everyone involved. I will only accept dire emergency as a reason to back out of presenting once you’ve sought the job; if you back out for any other reason then that means you’re very unlikely to get the chance to present in any future ceremony. If you do contact me saying you have an emergency, but still show up continuously during the ceremony, you will also get “blacklisted” as far as presenting goes. The reason for being so strict is that it causes a heap of trouble if someone backs out, and in the past people have done so without good reason. If you sign up to present, do take it seriously.
Warning: Once you’re on the team you have confidentiality. Everything and anything I send to you is off limits to be discussed with anyone else. If you need a schedule change you talk to me – do not contact someone else and ask to switch categories. You need my consent before something like that, and it’s best if you leave it up to me and/or the host to work out any changes that might be needed to make with the schedule. Punishment will come on swift wings to s/he who contacts other presenters about schedule changes, or talks to anyone about anything really. You will no longer be presenting, and if you’re on the ballot your name will be removed. The whole point is that everything should be a secret and no one but me and the presenter involved will know who the winner is in each category until the moment the category is presented. You might think you’re just talking to one member about what’s going on, so no big deal, but if all presenters did that, and everyone they talked to “just” talked to one member about it, then pretty soon everyone would know everything. And that takes the fun out of the whole thing, plus it lets a lot of hard work go to waste.
