the oscars (pt. 2)

march 19, 2023

the next category to be presented was best actor in a leading role. kristen stewart was onstage, about to announce the nominees and preset the winner with the award because she had won best actress the year prior.

she read out the nominees: timothée, tom hanks, brad pitt, michael keaton and mark rylance.

haley looked up at the large screen as timmy's face was shown to the audience. they still haven't talked since her panic attack two hours prior, and it seemed like he smiled directly at her when he looked at the camera.

"his twitter fans are gonna go ballistic at that." finn whispered to haley, who knew that he was right.

"and the oscar goes to..." haley took a deep breath, ready to hoot and holler for timmy when kristen said "michael keaton!"

she bit back a curse as she watched him get up and head onstage. of course he deserved it, she was just a bit biased.

"it's okay, you'll win the next one." finn told her, rocking back and forth in his seat.

"if timothée lost to michael keaton, then i'm gonna lose to laura linney." haley snapped, about to bury her head in her hands.

"your makeup." finn warned, pulling her back before she could mess it up. haley shot her brother a glare, because honestly? she couldn't care less about her damn makeup.

the commercial break after that flew by extremely quickly, and before haley knew it, the best actress award was about to be presented.

'Good luck!! I know you'll win <3' timmy sent. "i can't do this. i'm gonna head to the bathroom." haley said, about to sneak out so she'd miss the awarding on purpose.

"not a chance in hell." finn grabbed her wrist and kept her in her seat with an iron grip.

"the nominees are: haley leneghan, the story of a pretty woman [...]" andrew garfield read out loud. he was presenting since he won for tick, tick... BOOM! the year prior. haley's fellow nominees were anne hathaway, glenn close, octavia spencer, and cate blanchett. two of them, cate and octavia, were people that she'd worked with before.

haley heard andrew begin to announce the winner, and her mind went blank. "and the oscar for best actress in a leading role goes to... cate blanchett!" she heard him say. so haley began to clap for her costar, who, when she turned around to look at her, was standing up along with the rest of the people in her row.

"congratulations!" cate exclaimed, heading to haley, arms open for a hug.

"haley, get up!" shouted finn, over the deafening noise.

"what?" she asked, confused. it was very chaotic, to say the least. her brother pointed, and haley's mouth dropped when she saw her face on the large screen in the very front of the theater.
