This was it. Tom just had received the golden statuette and it was time for his speech now. As the applause died down, he looked over the crowd with a soft smile plastered on his face.
"I would love to thank everyone who's accompanied me through this long journey." Tom started, the soft smile still present, his cheeks slightly rose due to all the excitement. "That includes all. My family, my friends, my co-stars and my fans.." He glanced over the crowd. "..but it also includes one of the current rising stars, who had only started in the movie industry a few months ago." Tom's smile widened and warmed even more as several whispers passed through the crowd. "{{user}} DeFleur, everyone. Rising star who's greater at acting than some I've worked with, that reminded me of myself when I was younger." Tom finished off, and some people turned to look at the latter mentioned person.
