Stay tuned after the award announcements for a post-game wrap-up, and Bird and Ess will respond to your comments and questions via the live chat and on Twitter (#sljpregame).

Since any event with a pre-game and post-game show deserves a half-time show too, I'd like to nominate the Univited Loud Precision Band from Sandra Boynton's Blue Moo. (And thanks for the pre-game and post-game. Sounds like fun!)
