Chapter 544: AWARD GIVING BODIES



It was one of the three most famous film awards in the entertainment industry, along with Riviera Excellence Film Awards and Gilded Choice Awards. But among the three, one could say that Silver Moon had the lowest prestige.

Riviera Excellence Awards celebrated the pinnacle of artistic expression in cinema, placing a spotlight on films that transcended conventional boundaries and exemplified unparalleled creativity.

Embracing the spirit of artistic innovation and storytelling prowess, this award sought to honor the cinematic achievements that resonated deeply with audiences and showcased the beauty and depth of the art form.

Gilded Choice Awards, on the other hand, distinguished itself as a beacon for film critics and connoisseurs, emphasizing the discerning eye of the industry\'s most insightful observers.

Recognizing films based on meticulous critique and expert analysis, Gilded Choice Awards highlighted cinematic brilliance that resonated with the critical community, acknowledging outstanding achievements in storytelling, direction, and performance.

Silver Moon Awards took a different approach, shining a light on films that captivated the hearts of audiences worldwide. Focused on popularity and box-office success, Silver Moon Awards recognized the cinematic achievements that not only entertained but also connected with a broad spectrum of viewers.

This award acknowledged the impact of films on the realm of public appreciation and commercial success.

With these differences, one could easily understand why it was considered the least prestigious among the three. After all, it\'s an award mostly focused on popularity rather than talent.

But that didn\'t mean it was less important than the other two. Bagging an award from Silver Moon was just a huge symbol of an actor\'s relevance and bankability. To some who only cared for popularity, getting a Silver Moon would be more than good enough.

Astrid getting shortlisted for the Rookie of the Year Award was a testament to his soaring popularity. Although it\'s only a shortlist and not yet an official nomination, it\'s already considered a big achievement. Especially if one realized that he had only been in the industry for a little more than four months. And that he got shortlisted for a movie where his screentime didn\'t even pass 10 minutes.

For one to be nominated in a film award, they should first appear in a movie. And the only movie he appeared in last year was [The Sleeping God]. If he thought about it, that movie really opened a lot of doors for him.

Yes, he would eventually achieve what he had achieved today, even if he didn\'t appear there. But it surely wouldn\'t be this fast.

He should definitely send a gift to the casting director that cast him. If not for him, he wouldn\'t have been able to audition for the role. No, wait, if we\'re talking about strictly cause and effect, should he thank that kidnapper/suicide bomber first?

Astrid shook his head, amused by his own thoughts.

Anyway, he was slightly surprised that he would be shortlisted. Mostly because he hadn\'t really thought about it. His focus was solely on filming that he had forgotten it was award season for movies and films.

Most movies and film awards happened during the first quarter of the year. They honored movies that were released the year before. Since [The Sleeping God] was released last year, and was such a huge hit, it was not weird for someone part of it to be nominated.

On the other hand, awards for TV series, streaming platforms, web series, and other shows were usually held at the last quarter of the year.

Since he didn\'t really have any big or significant role in a show last year, aside from his role in [The Great War] - which started at the middle of the last quarter of the year and still hadn\'t ended yet - it\'s only natural that he didn\'t get nominated in anything.

With how successful [The Great War] was, Astrid was certain he would at least be nominated in one of those award shows at the end of this year.

But that\'s for later. He should focus right now on the very welcoming news Ellis delivered.

"Congratulations, Astrid," Snow said after hearing what Ellis said. The curve of his eyes and the tilt of his mouth showed just how happy he was for his friend.

He was actually surprised at first. But then he thought, it\'s only natural for Astrid to get such a nomination. Like, if he wasn\'t nominated for Rookie of the Year, then who else should be?

"Congratulations," Charlotte also added. Despite her almost static voice, if one listened carefully, they could hear the hidden joy in it. Happiness for the achievement of a friend. "It\'s for [The Sleeping God], right? You were really amazing there. No wonder you\'re nominated."

"Thank you," Astrid said with a light chuckle. "But I\'m still on the shortlist. I may not end up being nominated at all."

Of course, he wasn\'t being pessimistic. In fact, he was quite positive about this. He just didn\'t want to jinx himself. A lot of things could happen, and a lot of factors could come into play. So it\'s better to ground himself so as not to be disappointed later on in case his prediction didn\'t come true.

"There\'s still a week for the final deliberation. Then Silver Moon\'s official account will release all the nominees," Ellis said. "Just as you said, it\'s better not to get excited until there\'s an official statement."

This was why he liked Astrid. Despite all his talents and all the opportunities that came his way, he still worked hard and didn\'t let any of the fame get in his head. Hopefully, this attitude would continue even if he reached the top.

She had no doubt that Astrid would someday definitely reached that place. Maybe it would take a long time, maybe it would just take a few years. But no matter what, he would be at the top of this industry.

A new king that would topple the current king, Valentine Davis.
