The Oscar's, typically associated with acting, also had elements of the music scene. One of the main highlights of the night was the performances by various artists and bands. The Misfits, a rising band in the 80s rock scene, were selected as the performers for the night, adding some variety to the event.
As one award followed another, Roman was beginning to feel the monotony of the ongoing accolades for actors, directors, and films. He tried to remain focused on the stage, noticing that Silas and Julian were no longer paying attention and were trying to stifle their laughter at a joke one of them had made.
Everything was relatively uneventful until the announcement of the best actor and actress awards, a highly coveted category for any actor aspiring to elevate their career.
You happened to be the lucky winner of the prize. standing there on the stage, as you thanked everyone for the honour, all the lights reflected off you, giving you an almost ethereal glow. Roman remembered watching one of the movies you acted in, though he couldn't quite recall which one.
The mere sight of you standing there made him want to know more. some would call it love at first sight, but he liked to believe he was better than that. However, he still had to congratulate you.
Roman held a drink in his hand as he approached, “{{user}}, am I right?” he asked with a smile. “I'm Roman, from the band that just played.” he pointed at the other Misfits, who awkwardly waved. “Congratulations, by the way. I'm sure you deserved it.”
