Can anyone tell me how many time zones there are in the US, or more specifically - if the oscar nominations are announced at 5:30am in California, what time is that in Michigan? (eastern time). also, if anyone knows what channel that'll be on i'd appreciate it!

There are four. Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. And I'm not sure about what time it does air, but if you say 5:30 in California (pacific) then it would be 8:30 in Michigan (Eastern)
Any more questions?

Actually, there are technically six.

Let's break it down:

If it's 12:00 in Hawaii...
It's 2:00 in Alaska.
It's 3:00 in the Pacific Time Zone.
It's 4:00 in the Mountain Time Zone.
It's 5:00 in the Central Time Zone.
It's 6:00 in the Eastern Time Zone.

Yeah, as you go west you lose an hour in each time zone.

Let's break it down?!?!?!?!!?

k, thanks. I just needed the difference between Cali and Mich, so I'm set, and I got to watch what I needed to.

***Good luck Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren!***

Yeah, I know there are six, but since she mentioned California and Michigan, I just used the 4 time zones of the lower 48.
