Ironfire chuckles. She surely had picked up on the couples-that-don't-think-they-are. After all, they're pretty obvious, if you know your tropes.
She gives some applause to Needlenose and Spinister. It's nice to treat everyone the same, for once. Allows hilarity to ensue. Hilarity's always fun.
"Now," she mutters, "let's see if I can find somebody to win that with next time around..."

Emirate Xaaron tries to fold in on himself and looks rather ready to go hide under a chair again.
If Swerve ever asked him to do... anything, up to and including leaping into a star, Emirate Xaaron would do it. He owes Swerve that much. However, Swerve would never ask him to do anything couple-like, Emirate Xaaron is sure of that.
Without Swerve asking him, Emirate Xaaron would never so imposition the constable. He is not worthy to ask such a thing of someone so good and noble, and that's ignoring all the accusations of favouratism and abuse that would occur.
He wrings his hands. At least they were only nominated, no more.

Spinister takes Needlenose's arm, hanging close to the artist.
"I think they took an average," Spinister murmurs lowly to Needlenose, leaning in. Needlenose is a gorgeous, resplendent, carefully-crafted creature. Spinister is a walking, unrepentant fashion disaster. Average the two of them, and one might just come up with 'cute'.

Botanica adds her own polite applause at the announcement. She is not entirely sure if she is relieved about being passed over or no. After all, she and Jazz aren't a couple, just friends. Friends who flirt a bit yes, but really, how could they ever be anything else? The logistics alone...
Oh, no, her mind did not just go there. Cue fetching blush.
"I...do not find it a bother, Jazz. No bother at all."

"Oh, shush shush," Needlenose answers Spinister, speaking louder than his partner as he leads him to the stage, sauntering proudly all the while. "Don't you know that pink is the new black?"
Once on the stage he turns and waves proudly to the audience, then turns towards the presenter.
"Luckily for you," he begins, his antennae perked up cheerfully and his optics crinkled into a smile, "my guns are by the bar getting drunk." And a quick look in that direction will prove that to be, indeed, true.

Shortround hasn't noticed Eye-Fire yet, but he has heard Ironfire's comment. Somehow.
Must resist hitting on tank, must resist hitting on tank... Ah forget it.
"Reformat into a boat and I'll think about it!" he says towards Ironfire. And now to hope that the density of nearby Decepticons is enough to stop him from ending up blown to pieces.

Like Needlenose doesn't have a back-up gun of some sort. Never trust a Decepticon who claims to be disarmed, even if he's missing all his arms.
He moves to shake the Mayhems' hands, a smile plastered on his face. Then, very deliberately, he moves to hand the joint trophy to Spinister, because of the two, Spinister is the one that Emirate Xaaron would rather see with his hands busy.
He offers, "Congratulations." It even seems like he means it. Emirate Xaaron is a lying liar who lies.

And yeah. Jazz's own applause at the winners was delayed.
Mostly because he was giving Botanica one of those adoring smiles.
The best part about being passed over? No one else gets to see the blush. Blushing blooms are prettier.
"I'm glad about that." He tells her smoothly. Logistics? Where there's a will, there's a ...
Oh. He went there too.
And it probably has something to do with the powers that be, and current environment, but it sorta looks like he's blushing too.
Darn you, powers that be!

Needlenose shakes his hand, not bothered by the idea of shaking the Emirate's hand at all, although he does grasp it rather firmly. Then, when Emirate Xaaron attempts to hand the trophy to Spinister, Needlenose reaches in and tries to snatch it away.
If he gets the trophy, he raises it into the air. If he doesn't, he just looks out at the audience. "Thank you! Thank you all! That I am receiving this award clearly demonstrates the good taste of... whoever... arranged this! But, well... it doesn't matter! Because I'm cute, and I win!" Then he grasps Spinister's arm, intent on playing arm-candy.

The constable casts a concerned look at his fretting leader and takes a moment to hover one hand a micron or two off one gilded shoulder, offering a reassuring smile and a ghost of the comforting gesture he wants to give but isn't sure if he should. Best not to overstep his boundaries.
So he looks back to the stage without complaint, if just the slightest bit reluctantly, and turns a smile that's polite and little more on the winners. He claps, too, but it's quiet.

Spinister arranges for his hands to be conveniently not there when Emirate Xaaron tries to hand him the statue, instead trying to wrap one arm around Needlenose's waist and keep the other loosely at his side. Oh, so this is why couples hold each other, so they don't have to hoist up trophies and can keep a hand free to hold a gun? How handy! Spinister would have gotten a significant other ages ago if he'd known about that.
Spinister has screwy priorities.
He does withdraw Singe, holds the living flamethrower up a few inches away from Emirate Xaaron's face, and then tosses Singe off into the audience.
Ehn. If he can't kill Emirate Xaaron, why bother?

Emirate Xaaron hits the deck and scrambles off behind the podium when Spinister draws the flamethrower. A moment later, he peeks his head out from behind the podium and releases a very disgruntled sigh. It seems that Needlenose isn't the only drama queen here. He says, rather loudly, "Could we please move on to the next award?"

"Oh, I think the audience wants to look at me a bit longer," Needlenose answers Emirate Xaaron. And then, he stands up on the stage for another 30 seconds, leaning against Spinister. Once that done, he says, "Okay, that's enough! Got to leave them wanting more!"
And with that, he attempts to drag Spinister off the stage.
