Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 644 Who Will Win Best Actress?

Even though Violeta sympathized with Ophelia's situation, there could only be one Best Actress. Naturally, she hoped it would be her.

The awards ceremony kicked off smoothly, following the usual routine. The familiar hosts were on stage, and the audience greeted them with enthusiastic applause. Violeta joined in with polite clapping. Years ago, when Nolan won his first Best Actor Award, she was in the audience. She silently wished that one day she would also have the chance to step onto that stage. Her dream might become a reality tonight.

The awards were being handed out one after another, accompanied by continuous applause from the crowd.

Kaylee leaned in and whispered, "Vio, it looks like Ophelia didn't show up."

Violeta responded, "Yes, I noticed that as well."

Kaylee added, "You have a strong chance of winning Best Actress tonight."

Violeta replied, "I hope so, but we'll see if it's meant to be."

Kaylee smiled encouragingly. "I believe in you. Have confidence in yourself."

With Red Lamp being so well-written and innovative, and its box office success, it nearly swept the awards, including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and several others. The director from Red Lamp wore a constant smile.

Half an hour later, it was time for the Best Actor and Actress awards.
