Watch out, Zac Efron, because there's a new guy in town and he might just invade your high-school heartthrob territory.

In the new She And Him video for the song "In The Sun," off the duo's upcoming album Volume Two, singer Zooey Deschanel literally dances circles around her cooler-than-cool musical counterpart M. Ward, while he struts and skulks through the halls like a modern-day James Dean. Swoon!

Truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of Ward's soul patch, but when he breaks into a guitar solo amid a sea of hula hoops, it's like nothing else matters.

Watch the video for "In The Sun" by She And Him below. The band's second album, appropriately titled Volume Two, comes out March 23.

Okay, we know what you're thinking: Why would we be heading off the to the red carpet right now if the 2008 Woodie Awards aren't airing til NEXT Wednesday, November 19th? The short answer is, the show's being taped tonight (HOLY CRAP! What are we gonna wear??) which means in a less than an hour, we'll be rubbing elbows with Vampire Weekend, chatting it up with Hayley Williams from Paramore -- that is, assuming she's feeling chatty -- and catching live performances by Santogold and Lykke Li! Wheee!

So wish us luck, and stay tuned for a recap later on this week! Oh, and keep your heads in the game by checking out our fave videos from all five "Left Field Woodies" nominees (that's No Age, Chromeo, Yelle, She and Him and The Cool Kids) ... after the jump.

We're still recovering from that crazy, sleep-deprived time in our lives we like to call the 2008 VMAs (and, more recently, from VH1's Hip Hop Honors bonanza), but that doesn't mean we're not already gearing up for the next big televised awards show. Fortunately, we don't have long to wait, seeing as the mtvU Woodie Awards kick off Wednesday, November 19th.

And whether you're a sorority girl (like Elle Woods!) a pre-frosh (like Serena and Blair!) or someone who religiously watches Hannah Montana, we have a feeling you're not gonna want to miss THE definitive college awards show (where all the nominees are chosen by poor, ramen-noodle-eating university types!) And since the polls are officially open from now through November 7th, here's a painstakingly complete list of the categories and nominees. You're welcome!

+ Lil Wayne, Paramore, Tokyo Police Club, MGMT and Santogold duke it out for Woodie of the Year. Note that as much as we would love to see the nominees breakdance fight, the winner for this category (and all subsequent categories) will be chosen solely on the basis of your votes.

+ We love charity. Just today, we selflessly scarfed down three oatmeal raisin cookies (purchased from a Breast Cancer Bake Sale!) all in the name of good health -- and late-afternoon sugar rushes. Now, cheer on your fave do-gooders as Eddie Vedder, Ludacris, Jack's Mannequin, Mary J. Blige and Emmanuel Jal fight for the right to take home the Good Woodie.

+ Ever heard that song "Video Killed the Radio Star?" Yeah, that's a bunch of bull. So hit the polls to see Adele and Motion City Soundtrack take on heavy hitters like Gnarls Barkley, Vampire Weekend and Erykah Badu for the Best Video Woodie.

+ We've always had a secret soft spot for the New Kid. So we'll definitely be checking back to find out which of these rookies (All Time Low, We The Kings, There For Tomorrow, Lykke Li and Tyga) is gonna walk out of here with the title of Breaking Woodie.

+ You know those amazing can't-live-without artists you never heard of 'til, like, yesterday? Well, you still have three more weeks to choose between No Age, Chromeo, Yelle, She and Him and The Cool Kids for Left Field Woodie.

+ And you gotta give it up for the performers who ALWAYS know how to put on a good show. Or as we like to call them, "the Michael Jordans of music." Yeah, we're talkin' about you, Kanye West, Atmosphere, N.E.R.D., The Ting Tings and Simian Mobile Disco. May the best one win! A Performance Woodie, that is.

****Psssst! Not only can you vote for your favorite artists -- you can also campaign for them on your Facebook/MySpace pages(!!) For more details about voting, campaigning and general Woodie goodness, go to mtvU's official Woodies Awards site. GO WOOD!
