You are an actor/actress and you are the star of an acclaimed (by critics and fans) film. There is a lot of talk that you will be receiving a Oscar nomination this year.
So the big day comes and they announce the nominees:
They announce your name as one of the five nominees and you're excited.
Over the next few weeks everyone is talking about the Oscars and they are predicting out of the five nominees you will be the winner. USA Today, all of the film critics, the millions and millions posters on Rotten Tomatoes are all united and say that you are the sure fire bet to win.
So Oscar night comes and you attend the event with a full smile. After letting the press take pictures of you for 45 minutes, you walk in and take your seat as the show begins. You laugh at the hosts jokes even though half of them aren't funny at all. You sit through pointless awards. Finally three hours, and two minutes into the event, you're category is next.
Presenting the award is none other than:
Last year's winner for Best Actress, Jennifer Lawrence.
She announces one of the nominees and a clip is shown of that person's work. That person gets a light round of applause. She announced the next nominee...who also gets a light round of applause. Then she announces you and you receive a big reaction after your clip is shown. Your applause lasts the longest. She announces the next two nominees who also get light applause.
She then takes the envelope and slowly opens it and she says "And the winner is..." She looks down at it and smiles and then looks back. Your adrenaline is rushing, you know it's going be you.
And the winner is...
NOT YOU!
The orchestra plays as one of the other nominees has won and stands up and walks to the stage because his name was called.
Despite being the fan/critic favorite - you have lost.
What is going through your mind? What is your reaction? What do you do?
