The show was broadcast live from the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. Melissa presented an award with Larisa Oleynik about 90 minutes into the proceedings (give or take 5 minutes).
[this is right after someone's acceptance speech; wide shot of stage and crowd as the announcer says...]
Announcer: ``And now, please welcome the cable-bred star of the new Friday night hit, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, and the star of Nickelodeon's The Secret World of Alex Mack, Melissa Joan Hart and Larisa Oleynik.''
[half-way through his spiel, cut to a shot from the wings just off stage; camera pans left from the people coming off stage to Melissa and Larisa walking on]
[Melissa is in a long, black dress; her hair is crimped (not all around, but just in a few sections); Larisa is wearing a short black dress with a silver pattern (leafy twigs) and white leggings; Melissa is about four inches shorter than Larisa (they're both wearing 1.5-2 inch heels)]
[they reach the presentation area; okay, about the jewelry... Melissa is wearing a delicate gold or silver necklace with little things hanging down (not pearls, but little trinkets of some sort -- I couldn't tell what they were); her hair covers her ears, but it looks like she's wearing (at least) a pair of gold hoop earrings; she has more rings than usual: three rings on her right hand (2 on ring finger, 1 on middle finger) and three on her left (1 on thumb, 1 on index finger, 1 on middle finger); she has two bracelets on her right wrist (a tight-fitting one and a lighter, looser one with beads or trinkets or something on it); finally, IMHO, she's wearing a little too much eye makeup]
[Larisa isn't wearing any rings, but she has a looser white necklace with a single trinket on it and a red AIDS pin on her right dress strap (I didn't see an AIDS pin anywhere on Melissa)]
Larisa: ``Hi, I'm Larisa.''
Melissa: ``And I'm Melissa.''
Larisa: ``But, you used to play Clarissa.''
Melissa: ``Which sounds a lot like Larisa.''
Larisa: ``Tell me about it.''
Melissa: ``But now I play Sabrina.''
Larisa: ``So, to recap: Larisa's not Melissa and Melissa's no longer Clarissa.''
Melissa: ``And Larisa was never Clarissa, she was always Alex.''
Larisa: ``You think they get it?''
Melissa: ``Nope, wrong demographic.''
[she stumbles slightly, pronouncing the word ``demographic'' more like ``dime-ographic''; she grimaces (not necessarily in response to ``blowing'' her line, but maybe) as Larisa continues...]
Larisa: ``The nominees for Children's Special, 7 and Older, are...''
[music starts; as Larisa reads each nominee, shots are taken of appropriate members of the crowd and the titles and channels appear on-screen (the titles were in double quotes, but otherwise the words were exactly as she says them)]
Larisa: ``Before You Go: A Daughter's Diary, Home Box Office.''
[return to a shot of Melissa and Larisa since there's no one in the crowd representing the next nomination; unfortunately, Melissa chooses this moment to look up and around at the architecture and/or the people in the balcony; she looks nervous; you can see her breathing]
Larisa: ``Johnny & Clyde, Showtime.''
[cut to shot of Linda Ellerbee and friends for the next nomination...]
Larisa: ``Nick News Special Edition: The Body Trap, Nickelodeon.''
[shot of other crowd members]
Larisa: ``Nickelodeon Sports Theater with Shaquille O'Neal (4 Points), Nickelodeon.''
[shot of other crowd members; Larisa laughs (apparently because Nickeldeon was nominated twice)]
Larisa: ``The Little Rider, The Disney Channel.''
[return to shot of Melissa and Larisa]
Melissa: ``The Cable Ace goes to...''
[she starts to open the ace-shaped ``envelope'', which has caused problems for some of the presenters; it takes Melissa a second to break the seal, which causes Larisa to give a little laugh; Melissa unfolds the piece of paper and reads...]
Melissa: ``Nickelodeon Sports Theater with Shaquille O'Neal.''
Larisa: ``Yea!'' (laughs)
[music plays; shot of people standing up, hugging, etc.; two guys walk on stage as the following credits appear on screen...]
CHILDREN'S SPECIAL - 7 AND OLDER
"Nickelodeon Sports Theater
with Shaquille O'Neal (4 Points)"
Nickelodeon
Brian Robbins
Exec. Prod./Dir./Writer
[then, in place of Bruce Robbins' name and titles,
they cycle through two more groups of names...]
Michael Tollin - Exec. Prod.
Robert Mickelson - Sup. Prod.
Leonard Armato, Bruce Binkow,
Shaquille O'Neal - Co-Prods.
[it looks like Melissa offers the envelope to the guy who will speak (Brian Robbins, I assume), but he takes the award from Larisa, instead, and kisses her on the cheek; Melissa gives the envelope to the other guy and shrugs, as if to say ``whatever''; he takes the envelope from her and they apparently exchange words -- then he, too, leans over and kisses Larisa (!); Melissa and Larisa fade into the background; the woman who's job it is to shepherd people on and off the stage says something to Melissa that makes her laugh; then Brian gives his acceptance speech]
[after the speech, cut to a shot of the announcer sitting off-stage saying what's coming up next; behind him we see Melissa, Larisa, et al., walking off stage]
