When Jennie saw the words "Best Female Secondary Lead", she felt just as thrilled as when she found out she had been nominated for the Best Female Lead for "Dream Chaser".
"The World" was her first movie, thus it was sentimental to her. To be nominated in the country's most prestigious awards ceremony, it was a great affirmation to her past rookie self.
When she browsed the document further, she saw...
"What the heck?! Krystal's lousy acting got her a nomination for Best Female Lead?" Jisoo was surprised, then he mumbled, "There must be some hidden deal behind this, or her name might just be included there for the sake of it!"
After Jennie studied the whole list, she realized that Krystal had two movies that had been nominated for Best Female Lead. One of it was "The World", and the other one was "Mountain".
It seemed like Krystal was pushing to redeem herself...
"She's been nominated for two roles! The judging panel must be blind!" Jisoo kept on complaining.
Jennie stroked her chin and started analyzing, "Krystal's performance in 'The World' was pretty satisfying. It's within expectation that she's been nominated as the Best Female Lead for that."
Even now people were still talking about how Krystal's performance in "The World" was the peak of her entire acting career.
In truth, most of Krystal's acting had been a reaction to Jennie.
She could not find the same sense of urgency in the later films. Of course, she could never reach that level of performance again...
Jennie paused for a little, then continued, "As for a film like 'Mountain', because it was aired at the same time as 'Dream Chaser', they did terribly at the box office and earned only a few million, but this movie never aimed to do well at the box office anyway. It was aimed at winning awards based on the type and theme of the movie. The judging panel likes character development such as the one in the film, so it's not unexpected that it's nominated..."
It did not matter whether Krystal had pulled any strings behind the scenes. There would not be any objections from anyone about these two roles of hers being nominated.
As for Jennie's "Dream Chaser", which was labeled as a commercial soap drama, it was really unexpected for it to be nominated, and although she performed pretty well in "The World", the Best Female Secondary Lead category was pretty competitive this time. She saw several other strong opponents in the list. It would be difficult for her to win.
Jisoo patted Jennie's shoulder. "Kim Jennie, my guess would be that... Your chances of winning an award are pretty high! You're really talented after all!"
Lisa interrupted, "Do you really still have to guess?"
Jisoo was speechless. "Fine, fine... We don't need to guess. Your wife is the best!"
Lisa looked at Jennie and comforted her, "Don't worry, the Golden Film Award is one of the most highly regarded awards, not only because it's professional, but it's also well-known for their fairness. One will need to win an award by merit."
Even if someone pulled tricks from within, they would never be able to affect the final results.
Jennie was a little nervous since it was her first time being nominated after all, but she felt much better after Lisa comforted her.
"Congratulations for being nominated, Mommy!" The little bun complimented his mother, and he had somehow brought her a bouquet of flowers as well.
The bouquet was too huge for the little bun. It almost covered his whole body.
Lisa took the bouquet and presented it to Jennie. He kissed her forehead and murmured, "Congratulations."
The two of them... They had come prepared!
The single Jisoo was so jealous of them. He suppressed his pain and took out a car key. "It's a reward from the company! I'm giving it to you in advance!"
"Thank you..." Jennie gently held the flowers. She was not worried about winning an award at the moment. Warmth flooded her heart.
