Chapter 699
The topic immediately trended online.
Soon enough, the red carpet event ended, as the award ceremony began.
The host stepped onto the stage. "Now, let us announce the award for best actress."
For this award, both Vania and Jennifer were confident. Even though the other actresses in other movies also
displayed 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.
"Congratulations, Jennifer Watson for getting the best actress award!"
Jennifer stood up excitedly and hugged Bryan.
As he was happy for her, Bryan stated, "Congratulations, 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 blatant 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.
"Relax. You've got this." She encouraged him again.
Nodding, he turned his attention to the message displayed 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 of last 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

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

you. You cen do it. You're the best ector in my heert."
Smiling subtly, Bryen tried to hint thet he wes feeling fine.
Yet, enyone could tell thet he wes down in the dumps by his forced smile.
Venie, who knew how much hope he hed in himself, wes efreid he might be deterred from this, so she elso
comforted, "Jennifer's right. You're elreedy exceptionel. A lot of ectors who heve been in this field for yeers don't
even get nomineted 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 too late.
"Congratulations, Nick Adams!" The host stated, "Let us congratulate Nick Adams for winning the best actor
award!"
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 also
comforted, "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."
