Singer Morissette Amon just hit a major milestone—and no, it’s not a high note (though we know she nails those too). The powerhouse vocalist, widely known as “Asia’s Phoenix,” has officially been nominated for Best Actress at the Houston International Film Festival (WorldFest-Houston) for her role in Song of the Fireflies.

You read that right—Morissette isn’t just slaying on stage anymore, she’s turning heads in the acting world too.

WorldFest-Houston, now on its 58th edition, announced the nominees just days ago, with Morissette named alongside Suzana Pires (Cancer with Virgo Rising) and Devin Sidell (Love, Danielle). According to the festival, these performances “moved us, inspired us, and reminded us why storytelling matters.”

In Song of the Fireflies, Morissette reportedly taps deep into her emotional range, proving she’s more than a vocal powerhouse—she’s an all-around performer ready to take on new heights.

The festival runs from April 24 to May 4, showcasing independent films from around the world. And while the competition is stiff, Morissette’s fans are already cheering her on like it’s the grand finals of a singing competition.

Whether she brings home the trophy or not, one thing’s clear: Morissette is shining brighter than ever—and this time, it’s not just on stage, but on the silver screen.
