This trophy meant a great deal to Lola Hussey tonight.
This was the first career award in her life, and her dreams had come true this year. She thought that even if she were to retire, she would have left a magnificent mark on the entertainment industry.
In a corner below the stage, Vania Crawford sincerely felt happy for Lola, who was shining brightly on stage. This was truly a shared glory.
She immediately contacted the PR team, because even though everyone in the industry knew that the film festival's judging process was strict, there would always be unavoidable negative opinions from outside. She wanted the PR team to handle this and make sure that Lola's negatives wouldn't ferment on the internet. The celebration of winning the best female lead must continue.
On stage.
Lola Hussey bowed, straightened up, and tightly clutched her trophy as she left the stage.
Ethan Ainsley was waiting for her at the other end of the stairs.
