Even if Violeta deserves it, she should receive both awards together. That would have made more sense.

There were previous cases where newcomers won both awards for their first movie, but those instances were extremely rare.

Eugene took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "What's the word?"

He answered, "Someone up there thought it would be better if Violeta didn't get both awards, so they split one off. But who exactly? I don't know."

Eugene squinted his eyes.

That individual was most likely Tracy's godfather, a deputy director of the Orange Channel.

Eugene asked, "Then why wasn't the Best Actress award given to Lydia?"

The man glanced at Eugene and teased, "Why do you care? She is no longer under your care. Why are you still thinking about her?" Eugene replied, "Just curious, that's all."

He shrugged and answered, "I don't know. The judges have their own standards. Violeta winning the best actress award isn't surprising at all.

How much more investment did that drama receive compared to other dramas? With this series, Mr. Howell won the Best Screenwriter award once again. Typically, every time he wins, the actors rise to stardom alongside him. He's an award-winning screenwriter for a reason. Who would have the nerve to claim they're the backbone of the action genre without solid skills?

"And honestly, 'The Quiet Ode' is set to drive the future market for web series, standing toe to toe with TV dramas. Just wait, more high-quality web series are bound to emerge."

Before this, investors didn't see the potential of web series.

The Quiet Ode was a pioneer, testing the waters.

The response was overwhelmingly positive, leading to significant investments in web series this year. It's possible that web series might outnumber TV dramas in the future.

Awards were considered from many angles.

It wasn't just about the quality of the drama but also its overall impact on the industry.

The fact that a spin-off series could explode in popularity was unprecedented in the domestic entertainment scene.

Previously, only overseas markets, particularly in Orion, would see popular supporting characters get their own spin-off series.

With the success of this drama, the domestic industry may also start developing spin-off series.

This opens up more opportunities for actors.

In the future, the industry could see flourishing diversity, with not just the top stars getting all the roles but supporting actors with standout performances also having chances to lead.

In essence, Violeta's winning the award wasn't solely due to her excellent portrayal of her role.

The judging panel for the Skyward Award also recognised the positive impact the series had on the domestic entertainment industry. Considering various factors, they decided to give it to Violeta.

Her success wasn't solely her effort; luck played a significant part too.

But then, who says luck isn't a form of strength?

The awards ceremony concluded.

Violeta left with her trophy. Eugene and Aster had been waiting in the audience for a while.

The team felt like they had just won a major battle.

Outside, reporters swarmed Violeta as soon as she appeared.

"Violeta!! How do you feel about winning tonight?"

"You've been in the industry for just over a year and have already won Best Actress, but the New Actor Award went to Tracy from your company. What do you think about

that?" Content belongs to

"Violeta, some online users claim your win was undeserved and rigged. What do you think of this?"

"Violeta, congratulations on your

win. Can you tell us about your next

project? There's a rumour that

Inside the venue, Violeta had already prepared answers for the reporters' questions.

However, she underestimated how tricky their questions could be.

She didn't want to answer any of them.

Finally, as

She was escorted to the car, Before she did, Violeta managed to answer one question. "Thank you all for your concern. As for my next project, please look forward to it. Thank you." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Then she got into the car, with Aster following and shutting the door.

The car sped away.

The reporters were reluctant to let her go, but soon other celebrities appeared, and they swarmed towards the entrance again.

Winning Best Actress was something Violeta never imagined.

Sitting in the car with her trophy, she still felt a bit surreal.

Eugene said to Aster, "Have the studio post pictures from tonight's ceremony. Tomorrow I'll go see Lance and take credit."

Aster replied, "Sure thing."
