Hundreds of photographers have taken their best shots of the actresses, actors, and guests at the American Film Awards. This event, which is held at the end of every year, is highly awaited by film industry practitioners including actresses and actors. Because anyone who is nominated can be sure that their career will skyrocket. Especially if they win the nominated category, it is certain that they will be starring in several films as the lead. What a great investment for a few years.
Apart from looking at the quality of actresses and actors, this event also relies on fan support. So you can be sure that the awards are given to the right people.
One of the most famous and legendary actors had just gotten out of the car. All the cameras were immediately on him, capturing the face that graced movie and television screens for years and years. His career never faded and his movies were always a huge success.
He walked dashingly towards the red carpet. Unfortunately, he's not the type of person who smiles easily. So all the way to the main building, he showed a flat expressionless face. But this is not unusual, it would be strange if he smiled during an event like this.
The legendary actor said that events like this shouldn't be held because they become a showcase. But he still attends because he wants to see the people who are showing off, and tell them that this is the first and last time they get an award. Sadly, any actress or actor who got that advice would only win one award in their entire career.
"Sir, can we hear your thoughts on this event?" a reporter asked.
"It's a boring one."
"Then why did you come if it's boring?"
"Because they need people like me. Imagine if I hadn't come, would it have been as lively?" said the actor. He took out a comb and ran it through his white hair.
"Even if this event was lively, it would be empty. Art enthusiasts need an artist who is truly an artist, not a clone." It was the legendary actor Tom's response that silenced the atmosphere for a few seconds.
Even before the event ends, there will be many news stories that send his opinions to the news. Some were spiced up to make it interesting to read, some were published as is. But true fans already knew what their favorite actor said was true.
As Tom reached the door of the main building, a new actress in the film industry got out of the latest series of limousines. Everyone's eyes were on her, even Tom.
Hundreds of cameras were racing to take pictures of the actress. Fans defined her as a fairy. She was beautiful and perfect with her blonde hair. Her dress has a very unique design and fits her body perfectly. Not too over the top, everything was just right. Her makeup is also very fitting. Plus her cheeks are a little chubby, making her look even more attractive when she smiles. Everything about her was genuine, without surgery.
"Who is she?" Tom asked the event organizer.
"Nichole. A newcomer actress nominated for Best New Actress. She just entered this industry and starred in one movie. Miraculously, everyone loves her. The only new actress without haters."
Tom laughed and made people look at him in confusion. "There is no artist who doesn't have haters. Even if there is, she is not a genuine artist."
"She still has a long way to go, Sir. We don't know what Nichole's career in this industry will be like in the future."
" It's dangerous. You need to have supporters and haters to advance your career," Tom said firmly.
Nichole walked confidently towards Tom. Her lithe hands went out to Tom.
"It's a pleasure to meet you on this special event, Sir."
"I hope you have a long career here, hang in there as long as you can."
Nichole retracted her hand which was not welcomed by Tom. "I'll survive with everything I've got. You don't have to worry," Nichole said.
People were surprised to hear Nichole's answer, but that was exactly the answer Tom wanted. Because most actresses or actors who get criticized or insinuated by him get angry.
Nichole smiled and walked behind Tom. Her smile lingered and widened as the whole room stood up to greet them.
Although it was out of respect for Tom, Nichole was very proud.
"One day I'll be as good as him," she said softly.
While the reporters were busy chasing Tom, that's when Nichole had time to escape to her seat. Nichole got the VVIP seat because she was nominated. All the nominees also occupied the VVIP seats to make it easier for them to get to the stage if they won.
There were 6 actresses already seated there, in the Best New Actress category. Nichole was the 7th and last to sit down so everyone at the table saw her.
"Nice to meet you guys."
Unfortunately, Nichole's pleasantries were not well received by them. No matter, Nichole didn't expect to make friends with fellow actresses because she understood how the industry was full of masked humans.
Although Nichole also had a mask, at least she wasn't too fake.
The lights in the room suddenly went out. A sign that the show was about to start. Right now it would be a lie to say Nichole wasn't nervous. She was very nervous and masked her feelings with a smile.
The two people who were hosting the event took the stage. The show officially opened and the lights came back on, but not as bright as before.
Nichole looked around her, the actors and actresses were talking to each other. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. But in reality, they were nudging each other. They knocked each other down if they had the chance.
One by one, the winners of each category had been named. It was time for the announcement of the Best New Actress category. All the nominated actresses' faces are shown on the screen, as well as the movies they starred in.
Nichole's first movie, a fantasy genre, received a rating of 9 out of 10. Even the producers did not expect that the movie would explode within a month of airing. Until it can be said, this first film successfully brought Nichole's name up so that she was nominated for Best New Actress. Even that movie has the highest rating of all the nominees. Apart from being a good movie, the audience was also curious about Nichole.
"The winner of the Best New Actress category is ...." the two hosts opened the envelope.
"Nichole Anderson."
"Congratulations to Nichole Anderson, please welcome her to the stage."
This win was totally unexpected for Nichole. Although the odds were indeed great, Nichole was not that confident of winning.
She walked gracefully to the stage. Nichole received the trophy and flowers. Nichole took a deep breath.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported me. This is the best present on my birthday." Those were Nichole's brief remarks.
As she returned to her seat, an actress at the same table accidentally dropped a phone in front of Nichole. The phone was picked up by Nichole with the intention of returning it to its owner. However, the news headline on the phone caught Nichole's attention.
"Looks like you have two special gifts for your birthday," said the actress.
Nichole gripped the phone tightly.
