Someone tweeted about this, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it. Jessica Chastain nominated Sandy for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. I personally hope Sandy would accept it like Charlie Sheen did --- his bucket was full of money instead of ice. I respect the cause, but this is getting a bit too much. www.whosay.com/status/jessicachastain/972331?wsref=fb&code=Svz94T0But I wonder why Jessica nominated Sandy... have they known each other? Maybe through Octavia Spencer?

This is so cool! I was hoping someone to challenge Sandy haha And I am glad it was Jessica, I like her a lot! And I wonder the same thing about how they know each other! Maybe they don't but Jessica likes her or she is very aware of Sandy's charity haha
Now we have to wait for the video! I think she will donate a lot more than "10 dollars" and she will throw the ice bucket. And I hope so haha
As a medicine student I support every cause related to diseases and this one is a very hard one, so I support the cause, but what I don't like is that some people are taking it gracefully, as if thrown water out for fun. Most of them probably don't know what represent the icy water. So, that's the not so nice part, but I think it's a good thing as long as they donate money or disclose the cause in orden to raise awareness of the disease.

Now, if Sandy accepts the challenge, who do you think she will nominate? Let's guess!
My guess is George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Melissa McCarthy, Chelsea Handler or Matthew McConaughey.

George Clooney and Matthew M have already been nominated. So, maybe Melissa & Ben, or as timing wise, Chelsea Handler. Since Sandy doesn't have any online output source, maybe she'll just do it on Chelsea's show?
So, sbfanargentina, could you tell me what icy water represents? Pain that ALS patients may have? I know about ALS but don't know about the icy water.
I basically think it's fine whatever people do to raise money & awareness for a good cause as long as it doesn't hurt anyone/anything. So, I'm sure this "challenge" is a good thing and working in terms of pulling the public's attention so far. It just started getting on my nerves to watch a rich celebrity screaming in joy when they are poured the water haha. And I also don't like this "nominating" thing, but that's probably just me. Anyway, charity is good.

Oh, I didn't know that George had already been nominated! Maybe she will challenge Bradley Cooper?
So, it is confirmed that she will appear on Chelsea's last show? Fingers crossed!
Yes, Bel, ALS patients have stated that they feel a similar sensation to receive a bucket of cold water. And that's because when the icy water touch the skin, the muscles contract, and that's what happens to patients with ALS, the muscles atrophy, tense and do not respond, but still they receive sensory information, because they only lose motor skills.
The nominating thing is just to spread the ball to make other feel the obligation to do it and donate haha

Yeah, Ann Curry(sp) nominated George C, who I don't think has accepted yet so far, well, he's away with his fiancee haha.
Sandy was spotted having dinner with Chelsea on Thursday night, so I guess she'll be on her finale.
And thank you so much for the explanation.
I liked how Patric Steward did.

Haha very classy! I liked the ones of Judi Dench and Sandy's husband Chris Evans!
So, the 24 hours have passed, so I guess we will see it in Chelsea. I hope so!
PD: Guillermo del Toro challenged Alfonso!

I was kinda hoping Sandy would get nominated so I'm glad she did!!
I wouldn't have been surprised though if Chelsea did it on her show along with Sandy and Jen.

Lol!
I thought perhaps the only way Sandy would do it would be on a show like that as she doesn't use social media to upload the video. Considering she has no problem being splattered with gunk at the Kids Choice Awards, I'd imagine she'd be fine with a bucket of ice water...right? lol.

I totally forgot about this during Chelsea Lately. So, as far as we know, Sandy hasn't done it yet. There's no way she doesn't know at this point. I'm totally fine if she doesn't do it, but I just wonder why.

I think there was not time during the show, I mean they didn't even talk about themself haha
So, maybe we will have to wait, but I have no idea where she will upload it.. maybe she can just send the video to the news? haha I want her to do it, just to see her once more and because I think hers could be one of the best!

I guess if she wanted, she could easily get ET or E or something like that post her video, or even use Chelsea's instagram. But she's lost the timing, so I don't think she'll do it unless someone else nominates her again. George Clooney hasn't done it yet, either.
