Somebody get me an Alka-Seltzer the size of Rosie O'Donnell's enemy list, please.

It's that time of year again...podium shows are dominating the scene here in H-town, and 'tis the season to be tired!

The People's Choice accolades went down Tuesday night, the Critics' Choice nods happen tonight and the Golden Globes are comin' atcha Monday. Whew!

Since the stars attend almost as many of these long-ass shindigs as we gossips do, I figured they might have some advice to give.

And of course, they did. In droves.

Here's a smorgasbord of answers from your fave celebs on their number one must-haves to get through awards season:

"A good publicist!"
—People's Choice Favorite Female Action Star Halle Berry, lookin' gorgeous and decidedly not preggers, despite rumors

"A nice couch. A very comfortable couch with TiVo."
—PC Favorite Funny Male Star Robin Williams

ABC/Craig Sjodin

"A date! Felicity Huffman was my date tonight, and I forgot to thank her. She was my date tonight because Tony was playing and couldn't be here."
—PC Favorite Female TV Star Eva Longoria, lookin' sex-ay and stunning in a sparkly number. Hey, Eva, was Teri Hatcher busy that night with your former beau?

NBC/Chris Haston

"My boyfriend. He's like, 'You get to do anything you want for the next week,' because it's just a lot of pressure. And it's nice to know I can go home and snuggle in bed with him and see my dogs...that's the real world. This is kind of fantasy life."
Ali Larter, Heroes hottie

"Clothes...you don't own anything. You're always going out and trying to get people to give it to you or let you borrow it just for the night. So, something cute to wear. Something you feel comfortable and sexy in."
Hayden Panettiere, pint-size star of Heroes

Hey, Hayden-hon, here's an idea: Take that paycheck from your hit, ultranominated show and go buy yourself something, babe!
