Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 386 - 385: Best Actress: Mia Sutton
The venue is now very quiet, with no other sound except the host’s voice. The situation at the scene is being transmitted through the camera to the vast audience and fans.
[Oh my gosh, I’m getting nervous, this atmosphere.]
[Mia Sutton has actually been nominated for Best Actress? It’s amazing, does she even deserve it?]
[Why not? Her performance in "Drama Tragedy" is obvious to all, her acting is consistently exceptional, as if Rosalind came to life. Even when acting alongside actor Jensen, she wasn’t overshadowed. Why shouldn’t she be nominated? Don’t let your ignorance invalidate someone else’s hard work. Who do you think you are? If she doesn’t deserve it, do you??]
[So you mean she’s definitely going to win the award.]
Fan: "..." Do these people have no brains? Can’t they see the word "nomination" in their words? Blindly lying, who taught them that?
[Please stop with the overpraising, I beg you.]
[Being nominated is already recognition. It means Mia’s acting has won over the public. We’re already very satisfied.]
[Yes, yes, nodding fiercely.]
The voices online are varied, while the atmosphere on site is very quiet.
The host announces a work, and the big screen on the EDL stage displays scenes from their work, showcasing the most exciting plots in the films.
The cameraman’s lens then pans to the relevant actors.
Apart from "Drama Tragedy," the other three movies are also very popular this year. To be honest, the box office earnings for these films are also substantial, and they are well-regarded by the public.
Moreover, those actors have been in the industry for several years.
Mia Sutton slightly lowered her eyes. Although "Drama Tragedy" was not inferior to them, the chances of winning were still slim.
The third film’s scene was already playing above, and Mia gently sighed in her heart, with no trace of it on her face, maintaining a dignified smile.
Under the table, her fingertip was gently pinched, and Mia’s gaze momentarily hesitated.
Warmth surged through her fingers, slowly seeping through her skin. She subtly turned her head, her eyes resting on the profile of the person beside her.
Jensen Sterling remained seated in his spot, his long legs crossed, gazing indifferently at the stage, as if attentively watching the film clips.
However, under the small table, his fingers were holding hers, gently pinching in a comforting manner.
It was as if he was telling her not to worry.
Mia’s heart gradually steadied.
After all, at the event with so many cameras, Jensen did not hold for long, quickly giving her fingers a comforting squeeze before letting go.
To others, Jensen appeared to be merely sitting there quietly, listening intently to the host speaking on stage.
Mia’s long eyelashes fluttered a few times, her fingertips fiddling with the hand that had been resting on her lap, feeling much more at ease.
Then she raised her head to look at the stage.
The previous person’s film clip had just ended, and the host picked up a card, smiling: "Next, the nominee is Mia Sutton, her work is ’Drama Tragedy’. Please see the highlights on the big screen."
Upon saying that, the screen displayed a clip from "Drama Tragedy," and the camera focused on Mia.
By now, Mia was accustomed to being filmed, very sensitive to cameras, and when the camera panned over, she lifted her eyes to glance at it, curling her lips into a gentle arc.
[Ahhh, wifey is simply too beautiful, breathtakingly so.]
[Is this the joy of being a fan because of her looks? I could be a fan of this face for a lifetime.]
[Go, Mia, you’re the best.]
[Don’t worry, Mia, just being nominated is already awesome. No pressure.]
After the camera finished panning over Mia, it shifted back to the stage, where highlights of the storyline were playing on the big screen.
The selected clip was from a section in the latter half of the movie.
It shows Mia performing a scene where she, clad in a qipao, entangles with an enemy, her face carrying allure, yet beyond his sight, her expression is of utter coldness.
Later, amidst flames, she looks indifferently at the person fallen to the ground, watching the fire spread, eventually consuming herself.
In her final shot, she smiles—a smile that transcends life and death, her lips moving slightly, others understanding her final words: Seth Quinn, farewell.
Here, the clip abruptly ends.
Mia raised her head watching attentively, with nothing inappropriate on camera.
Many actors knew about the movie "Drama Tragedy," having watched related videos on short platforms, but many still hadn’t watched it due to being preoccupied with constant filming.
After this clip, some guests below leaned in, whispering to each other.
"Mia’s film is really well-made, her acting skills are quite formidable."
"Exactly, acting alongside Jensen, she wasn’t overshadowed at all, even Director Lawson praised her."
They then sighed lightly: "It’s God’s gift to her."
Some people are born for this industry — they’re naturally more talented, quicker to master, and more resonant in acting.
And Mia Sutton is such a person.
...
On stage, clips of all four nominated films have played, and the host returned to the center of the stage, picking up the microphone.
"Now it is time for the thrilling moment—the winner of our annual Best Actress award is..." At this point, the host deliberately paused, leaving everyone holding their breath.
Then she broke into a smile, her voice involuntarily louder: "The winner of Best Actress is Mia Sutton!"
The host’s voice echoed through every corner of the venue, eliciting some surprised expressions and others seeming to expect it.
The online live broadcast chat exploded at this moment.
[Whoa, it’s Mia Sutton, Mia, it’s really Mia!!!]
[I’m so illiterate, all I can say is whoa, saying it three times for importance: whoa whoa whoa!]
[Ahhh, this is simply too surprising. I was already prepared for Mia not to win, but then... a huge surprise!]
[Wait a minute, mentioning Mia, where is she?]
Mia hadn’t anticipated this result at all. She already thought that if it weren’t her this time, she’d work harder to win other awards later.
So when the host’s words fell, she was utterly stunned.
When the camera panned over.
[Hahaha, Mia is dumbfounded.]
[I’ve already taken a screenshot, a meme, hahaha, don’t doubt, Mia, it’s you.]
