Sharon Chan & Ben Wong Are Confident in Winning

Sharon Chan and Ben Wong are possible winners in the 2011 TVB anniversary awards' "Best Supporting Actors" category. They both expressed that they are confident in bringing the award home.

Sharon is confident in herself: "My role as 'Hot Legs Queen' is very prominent. The look of long hair, short skirt, and long legs brought me many job opportunities." However, the actress thinks she still didn't do good enough: "I don't think I'm performing or handling characters well enough. You need life experiences to act. I had lots of experiences these years. My dad passed away in 2003, then I got injured last year, etc. These experiences can help me perform better." She expressed if she wins the award, she will present it in front of her dad's grave.

First time being nominated in the anniversary award, Ben believes his role as an undercover is very sharp: "The role doesn't have much scenes, but it's someone rare that you don't see often." Asked whether he feels its late for him to be nominated, he said: "You can't control. I'm glad I never gave up." The actor also thanked Catherine Tseng for asking him to star in "A Kindred Spirit," then producer Lee Tim Sing and the producers of "Lives of Omission."

In addition, Nancy Wu, who is also a nominee of "Best Supporting Actress," expressed she is happy of whoever win the award: "I didn't even think I would receive a nomination. This is an acknowledgement."

Cilla Kung: I'm Not Just a Damn Teen

Cilla Kung made a fame with her role as a school girl in "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir." From being a nobody to suddenly becoming otaku's goddess, Cilla said: "This year is the most improved since I made my debut. People called me by my name in the drama. I'm so happy that I get to try different characters and did quite well, proving I'm can act, not just a damn teen." She also thanked high executive Virginia Lok, producers Lau Ka Ho and Mui Siu Ching.

However, Cilla sees Mandy Wong as her biggest rival. She praised Mandy keeps improving and acts very well: "She is generous and decent. I envy she has many opportunities." She thinks Sire Ma benefits from having many on-screen exposure at the end of the year, which made her another popular winner in "Most Improved Female Artist." As for "Most Improved Male Artist," she supports Jazz Lam, pointing out he is an experienced actor and can act in many different roles.

MC Jin and Mandy Wong For 'Most Improved'

Known for his rapping skills, MC Jin successfully made everyone remember his name with "Lives of Omission." The rapper said he must thank his lucky man, "Laughing Sir": "I thought I would die within 10 episodes. Who knows the response was good and I ended up living, and now I can even take part in the film version of the drama." He didn't fear his chance of winning will be affected because he has no contract with TVB.

After losing in the 2007 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, Mandy Wong joined TVB's acting class and she was given many opportunities after she graduated. Like this year, she performed in several series such as "Lives of Omission", "Ghetto Justice", and "Man With No Shadows." Asked whether she is confident in winning this year's Most Improved," she said: "I did quite well this year. But we all have equal chances, and we made our debut in the same year. We will encourage each other." She thinks Sire Ma is her biggest rival: "I did pay attention to her performance. Besides showing up in many productions, she also keeps improving."

Pre-TVB Anniversary 2011: Nominees' Thoughts Part 1

The annual TVB anniversary awards ceremony is coming soon and all nominees must be nervous: would they be the lucky winners this year? This week we will feature the thoughts of some nominees and let them predict who is the winner.

Tavia Yeung and Ruco Chan

This year Ruco Chan and Tavia Yeung are both nominated for TVB's 'My Favorite TV Character Award' for their roles in The Other Truth. Although Ruco has confidence in himself, but he won't be pressured. This was the first series Ruco played the lead role, he thanked Producer Amy Wong and TVB Executive Catherine Tsang for giving him the opportunity. Ruco had always been seen as Catherine's favorite, asked if he hopes Catherine will vote for him? He said: "Of course, but Catherine had always been unbiased. Even if she does vote, it won't be because of me, but will vote based on a balance of qualities from all artists."

When asked who his greatest opponent is? Ruco frankly said: "I have confidence in myself! If I had to choose, I would say Bosco Wong. In fact I believe he definitely has the power to take Best Actor, but if he can't get that award, I still hope he gets the My Favorite TV Male Character award."

As for Tavia Yeung, she expressed she never gives herself pressure. Also she participated in the awards ceremony several years now, whoever wins the awards, she will be happy for them. She said: "Especially this year, many of the candidates are my peers, from the same generation. It feels like a group of students waiting to get their report cards. I actually feel more relaxed." When speaking of her greatest opponent, Tavia laughed and said she was part of the cast of Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, so she supports Miss Koo Linda Chung. She said: "Well I really have to go back to school and talk to the principle there, but even if it sounds selfish, I still have to give myself a vote. If I win, then I'll have an explanation for myself." She also expressed if she gets the award, she will definitely cry and let everything out because that is her true nature.

Moses Chan

Moses Chan, who cheated the relationship with Miss Koo in Yes Sir Sorry Sir is also part of the nominations for My Favorite TV Male Character. He frankly said this year he doesn't have too much confidence because his role isn't worth flattering. Asked if its because his role cheated on a relationship? He said: "Actually I don't care about this. As an artist, we are used to fluctuate audiences' emotions. I don't have confidence in myself, but instead I support Linda Chung. She really was outstanding in the crying scenes. Let's see if she's lucky or not!"

2011 TVB 44th Anniversary Awards

Another year! This year's anniversary awards will be held NEXT MONDAY (December 5, 2011) and YES, I will be updating the results immediately like old times! Stay tuned :D

But for now, why don't we make predictions on the winners? Basically EVERYONE from EVERY DRAMA is nominated, AS ALWAYS. But obviously, we have popular favorites so let's look into that.

Best Actor
Kevin Cheng (Ghetto Justice) vs. Michael Tse (Lives of Omission)

Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Bosco Wong (Lives of Omission, Wayne Lai (Forensic Heroes 3), Steven Ma (The Life and Times of a Sentinel)

Sorry to 2-time TV king Wayne Lai, but this year's competition is between "Law Ba" and "Laughing Gor". Very tough to say...but I'm for Kevin.

Best Actress
Myolie Wu (The Curse of the Royal Harem) vs. Fala Chen (Lives of Omission)

Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Maggie Cheung (Forensic Heroes 3), Jessica Hsuan (Curse of the Royal Harem), Liza Wang (Home Troopers)

Everyone just keeps congratulating Myolie Wu right now. But tbh I seriously don't think she did well enough in this drama to crown TV queen. She is improved, but winning with this drama? Hmm...

My Favorite Male Character
Michael Tse (Lives of Omission) vs. Kevin Cheng (Ghetto Justice) vs. Bosco Wong (Lives of Omission)

Usually whoever doesn't get TV king, TVB comforts you with this award.


My Favorite Female Character
Linda Chung (Yes Sir, Sorry Sir) vs. Sharon Chan (Ghetto Justice) vs. Fala Chan (Lives of Omission)

Linda Chung's "Miss Koo" was definitely one of the characters of the year. I didn't watch the series but the general rule is, if the media is for you, you are most likely to get the award. Then if Fala didn't win TV Queen, she gets this "pork award".

Best Supporting Actor
Ben Wong (Lives of Omission) vs. Sam Lee (Ghetto Justice)

Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Cheung Kwok Keung (The Life and Times of a Sentinel), Patrick Tang (7 Days in Life)

Everyone is basically up for "Lak Geun Gor" right now. The possible opponent I can think of is Sam Lee.

Best Supporting Actress
Sharon Chan (Ghetto Justice) vs. Nancy Wu (Forensic Heroes 3)

Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Elena Kong (Lives of Omission), Aimee Chan (The Other Truth), Gigi Wong (Curse of the Royal Harem

Sharon Chan did so well in "Ghetto Justice" that I think she would definitely win something this year! Nancy didn't have a big part in FH3 but she did a good job still. Impressed.

Most Improved Actor
MC Jin vs. King Kong vs. Jazz Lam

I feel like TVB would favor MC Jin a little. King Kong and Jazz Lam were also last year's nominees for the same category. Jazz definitely has lots of potentials.

Most Improved Actress
Cilla Lok vs. Mandy Wong

Cilla received lots of attention after she starred in "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir." But personally I think Mandy performs a little better, as she can play different roles while Cilla is generally restricted as a young teen.

Best Drama
Ghetto Justice vs. Forensic Heroes 3 vs. Lives of Omission vs. The Other Truth

Popular series vs. Anniversary series! What do you think?

Wayne Lai & Sheren Tang Crown TV King & Queen Again, 'No Regrets' the Big Winner

The 43rd TVB Anniversary Awards was held last night and TV King and Queen from last year Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang---successfully won the same award again. "No Regrets" is the biggest winner at this year's awards, winning 4 awards in total (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress).

Wayne once again crowned TV King last night. Before the winner was announced, host of the show Carol Cheng joked: "You didn't win anything so far!" He humorously replied: "Maybe there will be surprises to make the show more entertaining." One of the best moments at the show is when presenter of the award "Best Actor" Sandra Ng did not even open the award envelope and announced the winner is Wayne.

Although they did not win this year's TV King, Moses Chan and Raymond Lam both won awards at the show. Moses received "Best Professional Performance Award" and he said: "I'm only a professional in telling jokes and making coffee." Raymond beat Moses and won "My Favorite Male TV Character" and "TVB.com Popularity Award." The actor was surprised in winning the popularity award and joked when he received "My Favorite": "Thank you producer Lau [Mysteries of Love] and screenwriters, I still don't get the scripts they wrote."

The award of "Best Actress" is a fight between Sheren and Charmaine Sheh and the winner belongs to the former. Sheren expressed not many people are able to stand on this stage, but they are still working hard under the stage; the award she won is the result of team work.

Although lost this year's "Best Actress," but Charmaine still won "My Favorite Female TV Character" with her role as Chiu Yeung Princess in "Can't Buy Me Love." She noted receiving this award means she received favorable attention and acknowledgment from the audience.

As for Supporting Roles, Evergreen Mak won "Best Supporting Actor" as expected. The hardworking actor finally received an acknowledgment after spending many years in the showbiz. Fala Chen beat Kara Hui and Nancy Wu and won "Best Supporting Actress" again (she won the same award in 2007). She said: "Not everyone likes my character in 'No Regrets.' I've heard many negative opinions, I'll accept them all and continue to work hard."

The "Most Improved" winners are hot favorites Raymond Wong and Natalie Tong. When saying his thank-you speech, Raymond also announced his wife is expecting. Natalie went to get her award with tears and she expressed will dedicate this award to her mom, who has passed away: "Thanks mommy for taking care of me...I love you very much, hope I can have another chance to love you again."

Although "No Regrets" is expected to win "Best Series," but in the end it was its competitor "Can't Buy Me Love" who won. Wayne expressed he is a little disappointed but will continue to work hard.

Liza Wang, Wong Cho Lam, Johnson Lee, and Louis Yuen won "Best Variety Show Hosts." They were holding a concert at HKCEC that night and TVB specially sent Tony Leung Kar-Fai to give the award to the four.

Lifetime Achievement Award goes to Louise Lee. It is said winners of this award are usually very old, but the actress joked: "In fact I just turned 60, I still want to pretend I'm little!"

Its humorous skit "Super Beauty Salon" scored a high rating of 38 points (about 2.4 million viewers). However, TVB and Broadcast Authority received six complaints regarding to the show. Three of them noted TVB should not ask Eric Tsang and Chan to be one of the hosts. The other two complaints noted female artistes were too sexily dressed. Broadcast Authority received one complaint, noting Tsang's taping on people's faces and spinning artistes around are inappropriate.

In addition, TVB's two anniversary series "No Regrets" and "Gun Metal Grey" received a slightly better ratings, respectively 34 and 31 points. As for "Gun Metal Grey" is less promoted compared to other anniversary series, TVB's External Affairs Director Tsang Sing Ming stressed promotion events for the series are being held in different periods according to the planned schedule.
