When a movie critic makes a bad review of his new movie '1917', the actor George Mackay finds himself on a mission to make her change her mind.
Celeste is a young movie critic on the way to make a career for herself. A mistake on the critic for an...
Celeste was reading an email about their recommendations for the Baftas award when she saw the notification with George's name. Another email.
The girl was taking the last sip of her now cold coffee and chuckling slightly when she noticed how passive-aggressive the actor was on the email. She knew how to write his name right, it was written there in the very email and she had spent the previous night researching and writing about him. But she didn't want to write it right.
After she finished typing the email she was giving one last read to see if there were any errors and smirked at herself when this idea popped up. Celeste intentionally misspelled his name and clicked on send. Now it was oh so funny to see him venting about it.
This was something she had learned with an old boss. Normally, rising stars and newby actors like George felt like they were the most hot and important thing in the scene, the A-list for hollywood. So she would pretend to forget names, misspell names or even act like she didn't know who they were. It was always a reality check for them and it worked very well to put those stock up people in their places.
The London weather was still good and Celeste wanted to enjoy the day as much as she could. With that she got up, grabbed her things and walked out of the coffee place. As she stood on the sidewalk looking at the sky, the girl made a mental list of things to do today: she would walk to the post office now, stop by the supermarket and grab some groceries, go home, do some laundry and change her bed sheets.
Sounded like a plan to her.
She knew she had to enjoy those last moments of calmness in the work before the Award Season fully began. Even though she was in London and was more responsible for the documentaries and foreign movies critics and recommendations, she would end up helping in the other categories or co-workers when needed - just like she did with 1917 on the previous night. She joked with Jo that this was not in her work scope, but the team was still small and they would need her help in this period.
As Celeste reverted her gaze from the sky back to the sidewalk she couldn't see anything as her vision was basically black from the long period looking at the sunlight. The girl blinked fast several times and turned around to start walking.
After taking two steps to the right she felt that she was about to crash into something, but in the last minute before the contact the person moved a little to the right in order to avoid colliding.
The girl gasped and laughed to herself. "Sorry, I'm so stupid."
But as she looked back the person had already entered the cafeteria and hadn't even heard her apology.
"Ugh, british people and their manners."

"Do you think we should start looking at the calendar after the awards? 'Cause I'll be honest with you, Jo. I have the feeling we are way too focused in the next few months and haven't properly planned the next steps."
