   Actors were put before actresses. It is sexism! :-)

   It's a sleep before midnight.

   I may suggest that they spent very little time for a sleep, just a beauty   
   sleep, and most of the night they prepared themselves for the event. Although   
   for me it would sound more natural if they did not sleep till early in the   
   morning in their preparations. So maybe there are other explanations.
