Eddie Redmayne Imagines

Best Actress

80s90sTeen, sorry it took so long, but here it is. Let me know what you think!

You break into a nervous sweat as you see Benedict and Tom take the stage. You're category is up next. You search around you almost as if looking for a way out. You aren't worried about winning, you're up against Sandra Bullock for goodness sake, of COURSE you're not going to win. "But what if the camera scans me and I look angry...or sad...or anything but happy for the winner," you continuously think to yourself.

You can't even look as Ben clears his throat and steps in front of the mic stand, so you squeeze your eyes shut and grip your seat...until something else touches your hand.

Both gently and firmly, Eddie takes your hand and intertwines his fingers with yours. You open your eyes as Ben begins, "This next category has nominees who have indeed showed immense talent in their roles...these women..." you look to your left where Eddie is sitting and a peace comes over you.

"Are you okay," he looks at you worried.

"Yeah, of course," you mumble back. "Just a little nervous is all."

"There's no reason to be nervous. Now Ben's about to read your name, you better smile." He let out a small chuckle.

"Right," you blush a little and turn your head toward the stage so the camera will see you and all the other nominees.

Ben lists the nominees, all the while you cling onto Eddie's hand.

Tom begins to open the envelope. "And...the Oscar for Best Female actress is..." he pulls the card out. "Y/N!"

You can't believe it! You've just won an Oscar!! You look at Eddie, and a tear begins to form in your right eye. "I'm so proud of you," he says before leaning in and kissing you. You can hear the applause of the people around you, but in that moment, it felt like it was just the two of you.

You snap back into focus and head up to the stage. You hug Ben and he whispers a, "congratulations."

"Thank you so much," you whisper back through your tears.

You hug Tom and step toward the microphone. You begin your speech, "I can't believe that I was given the opportunity to be up for this award tonight, let alone win it. I mean, wow! If somebody would have told me this was going to happen even just a few years ago...I would've burst out in laughter and said, 'Yeah right!' Tonight I'd like to thank..." you go on listing all of the people who helped make the movie the great film it is. Then you wrap it up, "and lastly but certainly not least, I'd like to thank my loving husband. Eddie, you are the most genuine and caring person I know, and you are my anchor. I love you!"

You make eye contact with Eddie. He can't stop beaming at you and that makes you smile even more. You think to yourself, "how did I get so lucky?"
