Why do American Idols get all the cool stuff?

The lucky bastards on American Idol were treated to a sneak preview of the new Simpsons movie. These might be new scenes or they might be old. I haven’t been keeping up with all my Simpsons previews. I think they’re mostly old though. The cool part is when they show how they draw the characters. Animation cells begone. God, what I wouldn’t give to tour around the Simpsons studio.
