Simcademy AwardsBefore the awards, Chris Masters and Ava Hart got ready, separately, at a salon a few miles from where the awards will be held. After the ordeal of having their hair and makeup people, as well as their stylists, fuss over them, they're happy to see their limousine pull up. They'll soon be off to the Simcademy Awards!

Ryan Seacrisp announces to the camera, "And her come Chris Masters and Ava Hart. They're nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress for their roles in 'Baa Baa Land.'" He greets the two as they approach and asks, "You arrived together tonight; are you two dating?"
"We discussed how we'd handle this question on the way over here. And Chris is gentleman enough to let me answer." Ava laughs, then continues. "We're definitely
not dating. We're not each other's type. But since neither of us is seeing anyone, we decided to escort each other." Chris nods firmly.
Ryan shakes a finger at them both. "You know rumors will start anyway." He then asks. "Who are you wearing and why did you choose the designer?"
"I'm wearing Iridescence." Ava smiles and gestures to her dress as she replies. "He uses recycled materials to add shimmering details."
As Ryan turns to Chris, he says, "Sim's Wearhouse Elite Collection: You're going to like the way sims look at you." He whispers to Ava, seemingly not caring if the microphone picks up his voice, "I get to keep the suit by saying that." He looks back at Ryan. "I chose the suit because it was fr...er, it looks so great on me and Ava asked me to get something with a purple accent. I had to ditch the tie though. I can't stand those things unless they're for a role."
Ryan asks, "How challenging was your role to play?"
"Not at all!" Ava replies enthusiastically. "They say never to work with children or animals, but we worked with both in this movie, and it was a blast!" She beams at Ryan.
Ryan returns Ava's infectious smile, then turns to Chris.
Chris gives his co-star a sour look and answers, "It was very difficult at times. You try to stay in character while sheep are in the shot. Doing sheep things." Chris shudders just a little, then frowns in that brooding way his agent said the fans love.
Ryan nods and looks briefly sympathetic. "And what was it like working together?"
"Everything they say about Ava and pranks is true." Chris straightens his shoulders manfully. "But I can handle some silliness. And she never ruined a take. That's more than I can say about the sheep."
Ryan gestures toward the camera. "Well, you can't leave the millions of sims watching in suspense. What kind of pranks did she pull?"
"The worst was the day she showed up with her hair cut and dyed with the signature gap in her teeth fixed; that was bad. She was going on and on about how she'd, 'Had a revelation about the character that required her to change her look.' We were so close to finishing the location work, and I thought we were going to have to do re-shoots. The thought of that many more days with the sheep; I was kind of upset." Chris uses the frown again.
Ava laughs. "He almost fainted. I had to pull my wig off and take out the dental prop the FX department made me quick." She smiles unrepentedly. "Seriously, though, we got along quite well, and Chris really had a way with the sheep." Ava winks.
"Hey!" Chris exclaims.
Ryan clears his throat. "Moving on. What's next for each of you?"
"As I'm sure you've heard, I've been cast as the new Jane Bund. The film will start shooting this fall. Would you like to be the newest Bund boy, Chris?" Ava gives Chris a mischievous look.
"Ha ha. Very flattering, but I'll be shooting the new 'Supersim: Sim of Metal'. As you can see, I've already started training for it." Chris starts to flex, but then realizes he might tear his suit and stops.
"Thank you for stopping to talk and good luck at the awards tonight." As the two stars walk off, Ryan Seacrisp turns to the camera and smiles. "And that was Chris Masters and Ava Hart, stars of 'Baa Baa Land.' Here come our next nominees!"

Obviously, things happened and it took longer for me to finish and get my entry uploaded than I expected. I don't know if having Get Famous would've helped, but I couldn't think of a way to get some good in-game images. As it is, I used every pack I have except for the child-focused SPs! I came up with Chris and Ava waiting for the limo at the last minute. ?
It's too late for me to look at the gallery tonight, so I'll have to leave that until I've had some sleep. I can't wait to see what everyone's come up with so far. Judging by what I've seen here, I'm sure they'll be great! ?
Edit: Ugh. I messed up the hashtag, so I took the original down and put up one with the correct one. Sorry about that. I really am going to bed now. ?
Edit 2: I forgot to mention, that what Chris says about his suit is a play on a commercial I've seen way too many times. I don't know if the company is regional or national in the United States. Anyway, at the end, the owner(?) of the company says, "Men's Wearhouse: You're going to like the way you look." Until I took a moment to look it up just now, I thought they spelled it "Warehouse." If I'd known, I would've changed the name in the extras above. I'm going to leave it be though. So, I just threw in that as a little joke that I figured only a few, if any, people would get. ?
