@lesleycott88 Yeah you get an award for the fan meet and greet, it's in the household inventory after a successful event. I usually try and get a few of those just to pad out the awards shelf. It is certainly glitchy though, you're spot on about that. I've even edited some bars to make them extra fabulous to create a better atmosphere for fans to enjoy themselves.
As we say, just keep trying. It adds to the performance quality if you invite the Director and co stars over before the acting gig using the career panel if you've not seen that. Max the acting skill too if you haven't done that yet. Then just keep arriving at the award ceremony each week and at some point your Sim will get their well deserved moment, hopefully they won't have to wait too long.
