They can then tell you that they are already nominated. How long would it be a secret? I suspect about ten minutes. I found out who was nominated about a week after the nominations. But, I didn't ask. I do agree that all candidates should be announced at the same time. Being known early isn't always a good thing. It gives extra time to cast stones.
