“Next, please take a look at the finalists on the big screen...”
The voice of the female host rang out. “The sad lives of women in ancient times are explored in 'The Journey of Marriage,' while 'Unfinished Buildings' is about those black-hearted real estate developers. Even idols have started picking up trash nowadays in 'Trashy Idol.' Protect the environment, starting with me. 'Life' can be as radiant as a spark or as depressing as an abyss.”
The big screen kept showing clips of those shortlisted movies with scenes of the rookies, and among them was Naomi.
At the end of those clips, the male host said, “Millions of viewers have voted from these shortlisted films on Twitter and the voting channel of Golden Ox TV, and the results are here. Let's welcome the film industry's three-time recipient of the Best Actor award, Darren Wentworth, to reveal the winner...”
Darren walked onto the stage in a black suit before taking the envelope from a staff member and opening it calmly.
After opening it, he smiled. “Naomi Nolan.”
Naomi rose to her feet in surprise. Never did she imagine that she would win the Best New Artist Award.
She walked up the stage excitedly and accepted the trophy from Darren.
However, she had just returned to her seat when the announcement for Best Supporting Actress came.
The moment “Trashy Idol” reappeared on the big screen, everyone was dumbfounded.
A rookie had been shortlisted for two awards.
Although it was not the much-anticipated Best Actress Award, it was still enough to leave people speechless.
Isabella stared at Naomi, feeling a little jealous. Isn't it because of her family background and ability to seduce people that the judging committee thinks more highly of her? Her acting is mediocre and undeserving of an award.
Keeping her jealousy discreet, she turned her attention to Sandra, seated not far away. The latter was Naomi's rival as the two had entered the industry almost at the same time and were shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress almost simultaneously as well.
