Reflecting on her journey, Bander notes that the last two to three years have been transformative, allowing her to witness Hollywood up close. She finds beauty in the camaraderie and sense of community at such award shows, where the focus is on celebrating talent and artistry rather than mere competition.

This technological glitch left her unaware of her nomination until she received an enthusiastic phone call from her publicist.
