amelia's perspective

here i am, sitting at the oscars for the fourth time still feeling as nervous as the first. except this time, i have timothée with me holding my hand making it all feel better.

i am also presenting the best director award which greta is up for. i'm really hoping she wins so i can have the honour of presenting it to her but the other nominees are amazing as well so we'll see.

i notice that it's my turn to get up on stage and present the award. i get up after i kiss timothée goodbye and walk over to the side of the stage to wait for my signal.

"ladies and gentlemen, please welcome award winning actress amelia monet" i hear and walk out on stage as told to. i flash a smile to the crowd as i walk out.

"to the five directors nominated tonight, you have been singled out for your courage, your courage to stay true to your vision and inspire passion to those around you and those watching. and despite the risks that directing brings, you did not give up and that's what this award is about. and to those watching and listening, please help me give a hand to the nominees now" i finish my speech and everyone claps, allowing me to finally take a breath of air.

the nominees are shown on the big screen and then the cameras pan back to me after the slideshow is done. leading me to finally present the award.

"and the oscar goes to" i say before opening the card and finishing my presentation by saying "chloé zhao for nomandland!" i finish with a clap as i watch chloé get up and walk up to the stage.

she greets me with a hug and i walk to the side of the stage to allow her to make her speech. when she finishes her speech she comes up to me and walks off the stage with me smiling.

i walk back to my seat next to timothée and he immediately gives me a kiss before saying.

"you were amazing baby!!" he said which makes my smile grow larger as i lean into him more. the next award is for best supporting actor which timothée is up for. when i hear the speaker announce the presenter timothée and i sit straight up and give them our undivided attention.

the presenters speech goes by quick and the nominees are shown on the big screen. when timothée comes on screen he pulls me closer with a smile and i laugh.

"and the oscar goes to" the presenter says and i wait in anticipation before they finally say "timothée chalamet for lady bird!"

i leap out of my chair with an enthusiastic clap. he stands up and laughs at my sudden action and hugs me affectionately before walking up to the stage to accept his award.

"wow thank you so much. i'm really trying to savour this moment because i don't know if this'll ever happen again. i just want to thank the entire cast and crew of lady bird for their extraordinary work on the film. i would like to also thank the academy for giving me this amazing opportunity. and lastly before i bore you all too much i would like to thank amelia monet for not only being the most amazing woman on the planet and inspiring me in everything i do but also because of her amazing work and acting in this movie. thank you again to everyone wow this is crazy" timothée finishes his speech and i leap out of my chair once again clapping like a mad woman.

he walks back up to me and shows me his victory dance and i join in a little before we sit back down relishing in his win.

the next awards go surprisingly fast until it gets to the best actress award which i'm up for. the presenter is already on stage giving their speech. my nerves suddenly kick in and i grab timothée's hand in instinct squeezing it a bit. he squeezes my hand back and i smile at him before putting my attention back on the stage.

when the nominees are shown on the screen i give a smile and blow a kiss with timothée in the background putting his hands up in a cheer.

"and the oscar goes to" the presenter says and i listen in closely. "amelia monet for lady bird!" the presenter finishes and timothée leaps up like i did in a clap.

i give him a kiss before walking up to the stage to give my acceptance speech.

"wow this is insane. if i could tell my seventeen year old self that i'd be accepting an oscar she'd slap me in the face. i would like to thank the cast and crew of lady bird especially greta gerwig. she is one of the most dedicated women i've ever met and i'm so glad i had the pleasure of working with her. i would like to thank the academy for giving me one of these awards it's insane to even be holding one right now. and i of course would like to thank my fiancé timothée chalamet for just being the most amazing human but also for his encouragement every second of the day i couldn't have done it without you. this is crazy thank you so much" i finish my speech earning claps from the audience. i earned extra cheer at the mention of the word fiancé.

i walk back to my seat giving him my victory dance this time and we both sit back down for the rest of the show holding each other and feeling accomplished and proud of each other.
