00:21Episode 539, Confidence is Key

00:25You're supposed to be objective and professional.

00:30You're judging how well someone acts, not how long they've been acting.

00:34If you were doing that and eliminated Emma, I would understand.

00:38But you're not.

00:40Can someone please tell me what's going on?

00:43Christopher asked angrily.

00:45The room fell into an awkward silence before a senior film critic adjusted his glasses

00:50and spoke up.

00:52This award represents the highest quality performance in the country

00:56and is held in the highest regard.

00:58Therefore, the person we choose needs to not only be a great actor,

01:03but also needs the public's respect, which Emma does not have.

01:08She has a bad reputation, is arrogant, and flagrantly breaks industry rules.

01:15All the nominees can act, but she's the only one who consistently has her personal life

01:20in the headlines despite only releasing two films.

01:24Christopher faced the rest of the judges.

01:27Do you all feel this way?

01:29They all nodded, some looking nervous.

01:32Can any of you tell me which part of Emma's reputation is bad?

01:36Christopher asked, raising his eyebrows.

01:39Everyone remains silent, neither providing an example nor changing their stance.

01:46Fine if you just don't like her.

01:48There's nothing I can do about that.

01:51I hope you don't mind if I show you one more thing before I leave.

01:55The judges warily watched as Christopher waved over a staff member

01:59and whispered some instructions into his ear.

02:02A moment later, Christopher had pulled up behind-the-scenes footage from Weird Husband.

02:07Included were various clips of Emma practicing her scenes when she thought no one was looking

02:12and the harsh environments she had filmed in without complaining.

02:16Christopher sighed and shook his head as he watched them.

02:20It's a shame how you all ignore how dedicated she is.

02:23I don't know why you all hate her.

02:25Her fans and most of the American public adore her.

02:29Personally, I don't think I've ever seen her behave arrogantly.

02:34Anyone care to explain?

02:36This time, everyone looked away, avoiding eye contact.

02:40Although Christopher could guess why they disliked her, he had no definitive answer.

02:46It could be anything.

02:47Family rumors.

02:48Their dislike of Eric or jealousy of her success.

02:52How about we postpone the selection until tomorrow?

02:56It'll give you an opportunity to go home and think things over carefully before deciding.

03:01Christopher suggested.

03:03The senior film critics stood up.

03:05You can postpone until next year.

03:07It won't change my decision.

03:10He said before storming out of the room,

03:12while the judges were used to arguing over details of a film while making their decision,

03:18they had never been so boldly accused of bias before.

03:21Many of them felt like Christopher wanted the votes reviewed in favor of his grandson's wife.

03:27It seemed the public largely agreed that Christopher was trying to influence the vote

03:32after news of the disagreement leaked.

03:34People discussed the rumors online.

03:37Apparently, the decision was already set.

03:40But Christopher Roberts refused to accept the decision unless Emma won.

03:44One blogger posted, someone commented,

03:47it looks like you can strong arm your way into the awards now.

03:51During the incident, the public votes for Emma were cleared from the system.

03:56Once again, demoting her as a nominee.

03:59Emma felt bleak as she watched it all unfold.

04:03When Luke heard the news, he rushed into Eric's office.

04:07I don't understand what's going on.

04:09How should we handle this? He asked.

04:12Eric rubbed his head in frustration.

04:15Although my grandfather's behavior attracted a lot of negative attention,

04:19it's good for Emma.

04:20It buys her more time to get the votes properly reviewed.

04:24What if the results don't change?

04:26Luke asked nervously.

04:28Eric was thinking about the problem and looking for solutions.

04:32When he didn't answer the question, Luke decided not to pursue it further.

04:37I didn't expect them to be completely objective,

04:40but I had hoped they wouldn't eliminate Emma from the top five for petty reasons, he thought.

04:47I never would have thought receiving an award could cause this much grief.

04:51Lisa said as she walked through the park near Emma's home with her.

04:55I didn't expect it to be any easier than becoming a supermodel.

04:59Was, Emma replied with a shrug.

05:02Lace aside, but doesn't it bother you?

05:05You know what you deserve the award, but even if you win,

05:09you'll just feel relieved that the process is over.

05:12Emma patted her arm gently to comfort her.

05:15The judges will make the right decision.

05:18After all, they have a reputation to uphold.

05:21I wish I had even half the confidence you have, Lisa said.

05:25She didn't realize Emma had no intention of sitting on her hands

05:29and just hoping the judges would be fair.

05:31Emma winked at her friend.

05:32Don't worry, no one can take away what's meant to be mine.

05:37Lisa looked at her curiously.

05:39You have a plan, don't you?

05:41She asked.

05:42Emma gave her a mischievous smile and walked ahead without saying a word.

05:47Episode 540.

05:49Damned if she wins, damned if she loses.

05:53The annual film awards were prestigious,

05:56and the judges tried to avoid letting the public know when they had internal conflict over the nominees.

06:01Because of this, Emma thought it was unlikely that

06:04outsiders were receiving information from an inside source.

06:08If the judges exposed their conflicts to the public,

06:11Emma would be criticized whether or not she won an award.

06:16If she didn't receive the award,

06:18people would say she caused a huge commotion only to go home empty-handed.

06:24If she did receive the award, people would say she cheated to get it.

06:28People would say she cheated to get it.

06:30She didn't think the predicament she had been put in was a coincidence.

06:34Although the judges wanted to appear fair,

06:37every corner of the entertainment industry had a dark underbelly.

06:41She didn't care who had gotten to the judges or what their motive was.

06:46She would fight back no matter what.

06:48That night, Emma found Eric working late on his computer at home.

06:54She watched him through the door,

06:56certain that he was trying to solve her problem with the judges.

06:59She knew that because she had given up modeling to pursue acting.

07:03He felt as if he owed her a debt,

07:06and the people targeted her because of her association with Kaleidoscope.

07:10She jumped when he spoke.

07:12What are you doing up?

07:14Aren't you tired?

07:16He asked.

07:17She smiled and stepped into his office.

07:20I haven't been sleeping well lately.

07:23I think I miss my husband.

07:25She responded.

07:26He lifted his head and waved her over.

07:29Come here.

07:30She walked in and sat down on his lap,

07:32wrapping her arms around his neck.

07:35Eric, she began.

07:37Yes, he asked.

07:39I would appreciate it if you could get involved this time.

07:43To be honest, I do care whether I win or not.

07:46I'm not generous enough to let someone else steal the award from me.

07:50She admitted.

07:51He kissed the side of her head.

07:54I won't let anyone stop you from getting what you deserve.

07:57She felt reassured as she looked into his eyes,

08:00already suspecting what he had planned.

08:03Since the issue had escalated and spread to the public,

08:07Kaleidoscope intervened by releasing their own statement

08:10about their confidence in the voting process.

08:14The goal was to remove doubt

08:16so that no one could diminish Emma's achievement if she won.

08:20Then Eric released a personal statement

08:22addressed to the fans called Why Emma Miller Deserves an Award.

08:27He wanted to convince the public with facts

08:30about how qualified she was to receive an award.

08:34He knew that criticizing the judges or the other actors

08:37was not the right move to make.

08:39Instead of comparing her to the nominees she was competing against,

08:43he compared her to the last three winners of the Best Newcomer Award.

08:47He quoted well,

08:49respected film critics to show support for his claim.

08:52Comments on Kaleidoscope's statement and Eric's post quickly came in,

08:56although not all of them were positive.

08:59Emma is a good actress,

09:01but we can't ignore Kaleidoscope's influence.

09:05Someone said,

09:06a movie buff exclaimed,

09:08I'm enjoying how fierce the competition

09:10for the Best Newcomer Award is this year.

09:13Another person replied,

09:15Another person replied,

09:17Let's not forget Janet Mitchell.

09:19She did an incredible job and survived.

09:22I feel like everyone is exaggerating the influence Emma has.

09:27She mostly minds her own business.

09:29It's everyone else who keeps bringing her up.

09:32One of Emma's fans complained,

09:35She's damned if she wins and damned if she loses.

09:39I feel bad for her.

09:40Another person agreed.

09:43People within the industry were also keeping a close eye on the awards.

09:47They knew that regardless of how the judging was going,

09:50Emma was the biggest competitor.

09:52She was dedicated,

09:54skilled,

09:54and had access to the deep pockets of Kaleidoscope and Eric at the Baines household.

10:01Claire had just returned home from a camping trip

10:04and was eager to wash off the dirt and grime as she walked by the living room.

10:09She overheard her father and his wife laughing,

10:12Claire quickly stopped by and greeted him while ignoring Janet entirely.

10:17When she stepped back out into the hallway,

10:20she heard Janet say,

10:21Thank you, Edward.

10:23I don't know how I would have dealt with Emma without you.

10:26Edward pulled her close with one arm,

10:29a cigar dangling precariously in his other hand.

10:32You've stood by my side for so many years,

10:35and acting is your only hobby.

10:37How could I say no to you when you wanted an award?

10:41Claire gagged at their flirting and left.

10:44She continued thinking about what they had said about Emma,

10:47whom she deeply admired after the incident at the Millercore.

10:51Annual celebration.

10:53I can't believe it, she thought.

10:56The root of Emma's problems is the witch sitting downstairs.

11:00After she showered and changed,

11:02she returned to the living room and spotted Janet sitting alone on the sofa.

11:06She plopped down next to her and casually said,

11:09I knew you were a snake,

11:12but I didn't think you would try to cheat your way into winning an award.

11:16What are you talking about?

11:18Janet asked, her face turning red.

11:21Claire ignored her.

11:22You're not a bad actress.

11:24I just didn't think you'd be so intimidated by Emma

11:27that you would use my father and his friends to tear her down.

11:32Show some respect.

11:33I'm your stepmother.

11:35Janet snapped.

11:37Stepmother?

11:39Claire scoffed.

11:41Aren't you younger than me?

11:43How about you show me some respect instead?

11:46If you want someone to boss around,

11:48maybe you should have your own child.

11:51Otherwise, leave me alone.

11:54Janet sputtered angrily.

11:57Claire got up.

11:59Tired of the conversation,

12:01she paused in the doorway, glancing back with a thoughtful look and added,

12:07You know, I really like Emma.

12:09You better hope nobody asks me about this.

12:12Thank you so much for watching.
