Nominee Reactions: Danny Burstein '6am in LA but Damn Good!'by BWW - May 1, 2012"I feel pretty damn good! I'm exhausted because it's six in the morning here in LA, but it still feels pretty damn good! My phone started buzzing and I ran to my computer because I wasn't sure.

So, I ran to my computer and because we're in this housing, first you have to enter your log in information and I couldn't get it to work. I'm like 'Why now?!"

I'm in tech right now so I'll spend the rest of the day in tech until midnight, but for this I'll do it!"
