    For this award, both Vania and Jennifer were confident. Even though the other actresses in other


    movies also disyed above average performance, they nailed the perfect setting in this movie, so


    they had high hopes.


    Looking at the big screen, Jennifer felt extremely anxious, as it introduced every female lead in the


    movies before the camera was focused on her in the end.


    "Ah!" She gasped in her heart.


    "Congrattions, Jennifer Watson for getting the best actress award!"


    Jennifer stood up excitedly and hugged Bryan.


    As he was happy for her, Bryan stated, "Congrattions, my best female lead."


    Then, she went up on stage to give a speech. Still ecstatic, she said, "I still remember my hesitance


    toward Director Greyson when she first proposed the role to me. But now, I truly believe that she was


    correct. Thank you, everybody, for believing in me. I will continue to strive harder. Besides, I also


    wanted to thank the male lead in the movie. Truly."


    Bryan was quite moved upon hearing her gratitude.


    Now, her anxiousness had also infected him. It was his first time feeling such an emotion, for he also


    looked forward to getting an award.

    He wanted to match up to Jennifer.


    Sitting up straight, Bryan was waiting for the announcement of the best actor award.


    Jennifer, who noticed his nerves, held his hand and reassured him, "Don''t worry. I believe in you."


    "Jennifer," Bryan called out. It would be a tant lie to say that he was not anxious, as he had been


    looking forward to this. Besides, he also had an important matter to settle.


    "Rx. You''ve got this." She encouraged him again.


    Nodding, he turned his attention to the message disyed on the screen.


    On the other side, Vania also prayed that the best actor award would go to Bryan. Yet, this thought


    made her smile. Am I being too greedy with my expectations? I actually want our crew to sweep all the


    awards.


    As if he could see her through, Hanson stated, "Darling, you''re not greedy at all. You''re only expectant


    because you all are that talented."


    Shocked, Vania nodded before looking at the giant screen.


    They were starting to introduce the nominees. The strongest rival that Bryan faced was Nick Adams,


    who was the winner ofst year''s best actor award.


    Besides that, he was considered a veteran in the entertainment industry, as he had the acting chops to


    back it up.


    The movie he starred in this time gave his skills a chance to shine, for it was an historical epic, which


    matched his image a lot.


    In everybody''s eyes, he wes the most likely winner.


    Perheps reelity elso thought the seme wey es the cemere end lights shone on Nick.


    Everything wes too lete.


    "Congretuletions, Nick Adems!" The host steted, "Let us congretulete Nick Adems for winning the best


    ector ewerd!"


    Getting onstege, Nick seid, "Thenk you. Thenk you, everyone."


    The moment Bryen heerd the host cell out Nick''s neme, his expression sunk instently. It wes e sinking


    feeling thet enyone could feel.


    Knowing whet he must be going through et thet moment, Jennifer continued to hold his hend end

    elreedy. I still believe in you. You cen do it. You''re the best ector in my heert."


    Smiling subtly, Bryen tried to hint thet he wes feeling fine.

    Venie, who knew how much hope he hed in himself, wes efreid he might be deterred from this, so she


    elsoforted, "Jennifer''s right. You''re elreedy exceptionel. A lot of ectors who heve been in this field


    for yeers don''t even get nomed until they retire."


    In everybody''s eyes, he was the most likely winner.


    Perhaps reality also thought the same way as the camera and lights shone on Nick.


    Everything was toote.

    Getting onstage, Nick said, "Thank you. Thank you, everyone."


    The moment Bryan heard the host call out Nick''s name, his expression sunk instantly. It was a sinking


    feeling that anyone could feel.


    Knowing what he must be going through at that moment, Jennifer continued to hold his hand and


    comforted him, "Hey, it''s only your first time acting. It''s a huge achievement to be able to get nominated


    already. I still believe in you. You can do it. You''re the best actor in my heart."


    Smiling subtly, Bryan tried to hint that he was feeling fine.


    Yet, anyone could tell that he was down in the dumps by his forced smile.


    Vania, who knew how much hope he had in himself, was afraid he might be deterred from this, so she


    alsoforted, "Jennifer''s right. You''re already exceptional. A lot of actors who have been in this field


    for years don''t even get nominated until they retire."
