2) Update your bio. An Academy acknowledgement "literally" enters before you do (i.e. "Grammy-nominated musician Kyle..." or "Emmy-award winning actor Curtis") ... so update your bio, social media and marketing materials with your accolade. Let others know you are already respected (and celebrated!) by the Entertainment Industry, and they should take you seriously!
3) Connect with fellow nominees from your category and create a closer Industry friendship. Even if you didn't win, these are your future collaborators and castmates. You shared the same moment of excitement being recognized together as a category, so start with that common ground and make a deeper connection.
4) Share your newest win or nomination with your past producers and other Industry contacts. It's a great reason to touch base and reconnect. Thank them for helping you gain experience that has led to a nomination/win. Just staying on radar with friendly Entertainment Professionals often can lead to more work and more opportunities.
5) Ask your manager and publicist how they can help to use your win for even more publicity support. Can this be leveraged for interviews, press or even appearances? Ask them to update your EPK and other marketing materials or pitches. (If they didn't attend to support your big night, you also might inquire why not, and make sure your work relationship is still on track)
6) Reach out to those you thanked (or were going to thank) in your acceptance speech. If they were not in attendance, it's important they realize how impactful they've been in your budding career. Emphasize what they have done for you, and deepen a good industry connection.
