I obviously didn't watch the Starhub one (can't even remember if they bothered to air it over here) so can't really comment on who won what at which show. And I didn't watch majority of the series either (only watched mostly snippets and/or a few episodes here or there), so can't really comment on the acting piece -- all I know is that the entire awards show came across to me like a pork award show. Out of the what 16 favorite characters they awarded, only about half made sense to me -- it definitely did seem like they awarded people merely because they were there (or perhaps Malaysians just have different tastes?). I also couldn't believe that Ali and Mandy won for Law Disorder rather than Uncle Chi and Alex...also, Grace Chan winning a 'favorite character' award is obviously rigged, since none of her roles to date have been popular or even liked (that was definitely a 'WTF?!?!' moment for me). And for that horrible Planet Meow series to win anything (even if it was just a favorite character award for Kristal) is just absolutely ridiculous!<br /><br />For me, the only win that I felt truly emotional about was Jonathan Cheung's, since I started noticing him a few years back and felt he had potential but lacked the right opportunities. He's a pretty decent actor, but like you guys said, he's played mostly kelefe roles most of his TVB career. His speech was very heartfelt and genuine -- I was especially moved by the part about how he has been in the industry 16 years (he started in the movie industry), yet this is the first award ceremony he has attended as a recognizable name. Also, the part of his speech where he told the story of what happened when he left TVB and how his wife (former TVB host Angie Mak) supported him during the lowest point of his life, then he went on to thank his wife and such -- knowing how much they've struggled career-wise the past 6-7 years or so, I definitely got teary-eyed hearing his speech. Since I haven't been following TVB as closely this year, I'm not sure what Jonathan's chances are for Most Improved at the Anniversary Awards (I don't even know who might get nominated, since I haven't been paying much attention all year, lol), but I'll definitely be very happy for him if he does win in HK as well.<br /><br />I don't have much other comment on the rest of the show (mostly because I was multi-tasking and didn't pay a lot of attention, haha), but I will say that I absolutely cringed when Nancy performed that duet with Ruco. Nancy was definitely off-tune the entire time and it was torture to hear her sing -- I sure hope she keeps her day job and doesn't attempt to enter the music industry like most of the other TVB artists have done...llwy12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02401832364832078932noreply@blogger.com
