The Academy of Simmy Picture Arts and Sciences (ASPAS, also known as the Academy or the Simmy Picture Academy) is a professional honorary organization in Del Sol Valley, United States of Americreek, with the stated goal of advancing the arts and sciences of simmy pictures.
The Academy is known around the world for its annual Academy Awards, now officially and popularly known as "The Olivias". Princess Lara and her husband Prince Anthony, grandson of Leona Basse, attended the 84th annual Academy Awards.
It was no doubt a poignant moment for Anthony, remembering his grandmother nearly 30 years after her death. The occasion also marked the royal couples first oversees trip since announcing their pregnancy.
Since its inception in 1924, the likes of Oasis Springs' Princess Akima of Monaco and of course Anthony's grandmother have attended - the latter scooping the Best Actress award in 1965 for her role in The Country Lady - plus there have been several royal appearances at the glitziest Olivia parties.
Before marrying his maternal grandfather, the famed Windenburg illustrator Emmanuel Addie, Leona Basse accepted her Best Actress award at the 1965 ceremony, which was also held at the Garwin Theatre in Del Sol Valley.
Above, she is photographed with fellow actor Harry Belatiér, who won Best Actor for his performance in The Barefoot Bride the same year. Just a month later, she would move to Windenburg and marry Addie.
In 1966, the actress did not return to award that year's Best Actor award, as is customary, due to being pregnant and unable to fly overseas.
Walking the red carpet, the Countess of Boykins wore a stunning pale-blue gown by designer @rustys-cc, with short sleeves and pleated detailing. Here, the gorgeous silhouette can be seen, as well as Lara's elegant up-do.

At this year's ceremony, Silver Screen Icon, Dame Dorothy Dunbridge CWE received an Honorary Award. The 91 year old Windenburg actress attained international stardom and critical acclaim in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage with a career spanning seven decades.
Dunbridge was one of the most popular stars of classical Simmywood cinema in the 1950s. Best friend to Leona Basse, she is also godmother to both Prince Anthony and his mother.
The Academy's Honorary Award is given to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of simmy picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.

All of the Trigun miscellaneous goodies that arrived today hehehe
Not actually sure what the Badlands book is called, it's less than 20 pages but in full color, nice sturdy paper, with info about the movie story, characters, and staff interviews it looks like. Also got 5 identical promotional flyers for the film, i flipped one over to get both sides in the photo. I already shared the 3 CDs but there's the 2nd Donut Happy Pack, Badlands Rumble OST, and an AKIMA & NEOS album No Moon,No Sun (that one is only Trigun adjacent lol) and also there's a print ad for the Shonen Captain Comic Special release of Trigun volume 2 from 1996 !!!!
Lastly there is the poster/1999 calendar which is HUGE, not even sure if it'll fit on the library's scanner. And no it's not horribly warped, those are guns with what looks like the photoshop emboss filter in the background haha. The artwork is drawn by Yasuhiro Nightow and cel coloring by Akihiko Isozaki, who was a color coordinator/color key on the 98 anime--I had no idea that was Nightow's art, the cel coloring makes it look so different!! The poster is a little damaged on the edges and what looks like the remains of an old melted rubber band is stuck on Meryl--I've managed to chip some of it off since taking this picture. I'll try to get more of it but I need to be careful not to tear it !!! it is a very cool artwork i am glad to be able to finally see it closely bc i've only ever seen low quality images of it in the past !!

Horror Manga Recs Part 4: Shojo Null
Hello! Since there were no new chapters this week, I've got a recommendation instead. This week's rec is a brand new series that just started called Shojo Null by Kanae Nakanishi and Akima.
Shojo Null is a sci-fi series with horror elements that's reminiscent of series like Elfen Lied. It takes place in 23rd century Japan where service androids called "Gijin" are the norm and the story follows a teenage boy named Raiha. Raiha takes in an injured Gijin only to find out that she's actually a high quality military-grade weapon who is on the run.
Despite how dangerous she could be, Raiha wants to help her because he knows the horrifying truth about the Gijins that so many people like to abuse and throw away...
As I said, this is a brand new story with only the first chapter out so far (thankfully it has ~80 pages though), so I don't have a whole lot to say about this series yet besides that I like the art and the premise so far. I definitely think that this has the potential to become a pretty solid sci-fi series!

“I wasn’t the grandma you see now you know... Haila Wetyios was born a hyur in Limsa Lominsa in the slums. I wasn’t destined for much. I wasn’t meant to take on the roles I have. I was just dealt one horrible hand after the other.”
Art by the amazing Akima-san.
