Chapter 837

“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.

Sandra was beautiful and alluring, a stark contrast to Naomi’s innocent and charming appearance. Her acting career was also more diverse compared to the latter.

She smirked and said to her manager, “Reveal to Sandra that Naomi is on good terms with the judging committee.”

The manager was taken aback. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I’m sure you noticed that Ashlyn…”

It’s obvious that she’s very protective of Naomi! Is it really a good idea to provoke her? You might even bring disaster upon yourself before managing to set Naomi up. You still have to survive in Nolan Entertainment!

“As long as you act discreetly, no one will ever guess that we revealed it to her. Besides, there are truly very few secrets in the industry.”

Isabella gave her a smug grin. Since I’ve greatly embarrassed myself today, I must return the favor.

Although I can’t target Ashlyn, it doesn’t mean that I can’t target the unfavored Naomi.

“Well… All right then.” The manager immediately went to get her hands on dirt regarding Naomi being on good terms with the judging committee.

Meanwhile, back on stage, an actress named Kelly Zimmer was competing with Naomi for the Best Supporting Actress Award, and she was looking extremely confident.

I’ve already bribed every member of the judging committee, so the Best Supporting Actress Award is mine! How can Naomi’s Best New Artist Award be compared to this award?

Every time the camera trained on her, she always had a charming smile on her face. She had been in the industry for several years, and her acting skills were quite good. However, she never won any awards, and her films’ popularity always overshadowed her. This time, she decided to go all out.

She was similar to Naomi in terms of appearance and figure, a fact that annoyed her the most.

Several spotlights shone on the faces of those shortlisted actresses.

Naomi already had a Best New Artist Award in hand, so her expectations were not that high. After all, she was not yearning for the miracle of clinching two awards to happen.
