Madd Max Enjoys The After Party

Well, Future Man did not win.  Glow did.  Jamie helped make it feel better.

So did Kathleen, who brought mini-cupcakes for post-meal celebrating.

And then Maddie made Jess cry.

The only crew that dabbed.

Walking Hollywood Blvd.

Drinks at the Roosevelt.

When Jess got home, these were waiting for her from Taisie.

With these notes.

Madd Max Makes It To The Awards

Jess on the red carpet with the Future Man crew.

The professional shots.

It really was like this.  Jess got to the live-streaming totally prepped for the big question of the night, "What was your favorite animated movie of all time?" (The Awards just added a new category for Best Production Design in an Animated Feature).  Jess' answer, "Suasage Party," which was written by the Future Man guys.  She was quite pleased.

The stage.

And Table 3 of Future Men.

That's a lot of love.

Meanwhile at Taisie's, the kids watched the live-stream of the red carpet.

As did the East Coast - the Ullucci-Michaels shown here.  All of Jess' family also watched, feeding her text intel on what questions would be thrown her way.

Maddie made a point to show Jess, she drew all 42 candles.  She also explained the reason she wouldn't want her phone anymore is because technology is scary to old people.
