The Walking Dead screening - Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Steven Yeun & more

We went to a Walking Dead Screening the other day hoping to get some autographs from one of our favorite shows on TV. It was crowded and chaotic but we came away with a good amount of stuff signed.

First up was Danai Gurira aka Mischonne. She's always been accommodating with signing and tonight was more of the same. We added her to a cast poster and 4 11x14s.

While Danai was signing Greg Nictotero came over and signed a few. We added him to the poster as well as 2 11x14s. Robert Kirkman also came over and signed during this but I was not able to snap a photo.

After Greg signed Andrew Lincoln began to sign and things got a little crazy. We did manage to 12 items ranging from 12x18s, 11x14s, 8x10s and the poster.

Steve Yeun signed but it happened so fast I left with none. Luckily, I didn't really need him...but while he was signing Gale Anne Hurd signed and I added her to a 12x18 cast piece as well as the poster.

Norman Reedus also signed but I wasn't able to take any photos. Added a him to a wide assortment of 11x14s and 8x10s. Earlier in the day we ran into Norman and managed to add him to a poster image and some 11x14s and 8x10s.

Oscar Nominees - Steven Spielberg, Jessica Chastain & more!

Sometimes you gotta jump through hoops at events and in the end it just doesn't seem worth it. This day was seemingly one of those days. Not many signed and when they did, I wasn't always in the right place but the ones who did sign that I cared about most did it where I was and this made the day a little better.

First up was the one person I knew I could count on signing. Jessica Chastain. Of course, the nicest woman in Hollywood, made her way over and signed. She tried to keep it to one each to make sure everyone got one. We had an 11x14 and an 8x10 on hand and she did both.

Next up was Steven Spielberg. Now, the last few years Steven hasn't signed let alone paid much attention to us. This year, it looked like more of the same. He started to walk in and I didn't even both to pull an item but then he turned and came towards us. At first he just looked to be saying "thank you" but then he came RIGHT TO ME! I fumbled around a bit but finally got my silver pen out to get an E.T. poster done for someone. He signed the poster big and beautiful! While this was happening Edwin was able to score some 8x10s and before it was all said and done we got a good amount of Steven Spielberg autographs. This wasn't expected at all but it made the day for me.

After Steven Joaquin Pheonix arrived. Now, I've heard horror stories about him and how hard he is so I didn't expect much. So naturally, he walked right over!  We managed to get him on a Gladiator 11x14 and an 11x14 of him flipping off the camera. My priority was making sure a friend of mine got him since it was the only reason he was there. Success on all three accounts.

After Joaquin signed there wasn't much left I was dying to get. Jennifer Lawrence, but judging by how she's been lately that isn't happening anytime soon. However, there was one guy I wanted badly. Christoph Waltz! I've gotten Waltz before when Inglorious Basterds came out but after watching Django Unchained I wanted him even more! Again, Waltz came over and stood virtually in front of me and I was able to get all my items signed one after the one. We also added him to two Django posters we were doing for someone that already had Quentin on them!

We had gotten Steven on a combo shot with cinematographer Janusz Kaminski earlier so we were able to complete it when he walked over.

I really enjoyed the movie Wreck it Ralph, but I think the standout thing for me was actually the short before the film called "Paperman". I really liked it and was pretty happy to get director, John Kahrs, to sign an 11x14. He added a cool inscription and a flying paper airplane.

I did manage a photo with Emmanuel Lewis, which might have been the highlight of my day.

At this point we hit a dry spell and decided to go get some dinner. After, we got word of a Oscar Nominee dinner at a nearby restaurant so we gave it a go. I did manage to get Tim Burton on a 12x18 which always makes me happy. It all happened so fast I didn't manage any photos.

To end the night, Ben Affleck pulled up and I wasn't prepared so I quickly asked him for a photo with him and he obliged. I then asked him to sign and he said he would on the way out. True to his word Ben came out and signed. First our 12x18 cast Argo piece. He complimented us on how many people we had on it and how nice it was and he signed it nice, by Ben's standards. He then signed our Argo fan made 12x18 and loved the shot. Asked where we got it and said how cool it was and then gave us what can only be described as what I drew as a bird flying when I was 5...but hey, he kept his word!
