Great behind the scenes info, DeMoriel.  Thank you. 

I am going with Option #1.  Katie brought her own people in.  She is receiving an undeserved, unjust award that has many people in and around the industry in a tizzy.  She has to "explain" why she's getting this award (besides the obvious, which is that Tom bought it for her).  These pics "prove" that she's a working actress.  At least to the average layperson who believes what they see on Just Jared and doesn't believe that all of Katie's talent can fit in her pinky finger and Tom buys her roles and awards. 

Katie continues to annoy and aggravate me more than Tom.  I wish she would just go away. 

They're idiots, which I don't necessarily find offensive. But I do find it offensive that they think I'm an idiot and would believe what they're saying.
