enumerate* - indent issue with next line item

Question

I am trying to create a list that would look like:

Awards: 1. Award A
        2. Award B

I have used the \usepackage[inline]{enumitem} but the result I am getting is the following:

Awards: 1. Award A
2. Award B

Any ideas on how I can fix that?

The code I have written is:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper, total={6in, 10in}]{geometry}
\usepackage[USenglish]{babel}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
\usepackage{currvita}
\newcommand*{\ac}[1]{\mbox{#1}}
\tolerance=600
\begin{document}
    \item \textbf{\textit{Awards:}}
        \begin{enumerate*}
            \item Award A\\
            \item Award B
        \end{enumerate*}
\end{document}

Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Using a KOMA-script class, not so complicated:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{paralist}


\begin{document}

\begin{labeling}{Award:}
\item[Award:] a. Award A
  \begin{enumerate}[b.]
  \item Award B
  \end{enumerate}


\end{labeling}

\end{document}

Answer 2

I would place an enumerate list in a minipage. enumerate* formats the list as inline. (replace 0.5\linewidth by something more useful in your full code)

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}
  \textbf{\textit{Awards:}}
  \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
    \begin{enumerate}
      \item Award A
      \item Award B
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{minipage}
\end{document}

Answer 3

maybe it works

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[a4paper, total={6in, 10in}]{geometry}
\usepackage[USenglish]{babel}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
\usepackage{currvita}
\tolerance=600
\begin{document}
 \textbf{\textit{Awards:}}\begin{minipage}[t][][t]{0.7\textwidth}
        \begin{enumerate}
            \item Award A
            \item Award B
        \end{enumerate}
        \end{minipage}
\end{document}
