In a report by ABS-CBN, Jodie said her red carpet gown was inspired by her character in the nominated prime time drama. She tells ABS-CBN, “Hindi naman everyday na nakakatisod tayo ng isang nomination from the Emmys, Maganda naman na maipresenta natin ng maayos ang sarili natin at siyempre pupunta ako doon na hindi lang naman sarili ko ang nire-represent ko, pati ang Philippines din.”
