Kay's Anniversary Awards Predictions

TVB Anniversary Awards Ceremony is next week on 12/5! Time for some awards predictions!! Top 5 nominations are not out until the ceremony, here are some of my predictions for top 5 nominations and winners:

Best Drama
A Fistful of Stances
Mysteries of Love
Can't Buy Me Love
No Regrets
Gun Metal Grey

**A fight between Can't Buy Me Love & No Regrets....x____x. I like No Regrets better

Best Actor
Steven Ma - Ghost Writer
Raymond Lam - Mysteries of Love
Moses Chan - Can't Buy Me Love
Wayne Lai - No Regrets
Felix Wong - Gun Metal Grey

**Wayne or Moses........

Best Actress
Tavia Yeung - Mysteries of Love
Teresa Mo - Some Day
Jessica Hsuan - A Pillowcase of Mystery II
Charmaine Sheh - Can't Buy Me Love
Sheren Tang - No Regrets

**Between Charmaine & Sheren....like Sheren better....x____x

Best Supporting Actor
Dominic Lam - A Fistful of Stances
Kenneth Ma - Mysteries of Love
Louis Yuen - Can't Buy Me Love
Evergreen Mak - No Regrets
Pierre Ngo - No Regrets

**I'm not supposed to have 2...personally, I would pick Dominic Lam because he really is AWESOME in the drama, so hateful, the flow is good, you see his character development from the beginning to the end. Evergreen Mak is the popular one to win because everyone hates him as Fei Fan Gor, he does all the bad things to hurt others, so selfish. But he is just being a normal bad guy, sometimes I even think he's been a little too 浮誇. I don't know whether TVB will pick it by popularity or by real acting. They're both good though.

Best Supporting Actress
Kara Hui - A Fistful of Stances
Natalie Tong - A Fistful of Stances
Elena Kong - Beauty Knows No Pain
Susanna Kwan - Can't Buy Me Love
Fala Chen - No Regrets

**It's reported Kara Hui would win this award. I do like Elena Kong's Angela Auntie LOL. Fala's role in No Regrets is not bad actually. Hard pick hard pick...

Most Improved Actor
Lam Tsz Sin
King Kong 
Joel Chan 
Raymond Wong
Him Law 

**As a fan, no doubt I'm picking him! As a regular viewer of TVB dramas, still him! Already noticed him when he was still a movie-person, then his first TVB drama. Heavier and better roles little by little. You see him from the beginning of this year to now on TV. I have to say, this award: 非你莫屬!

The only opponent of Raymond is King Kong I would say. I do believe viewers remember him most from Super Trio because of his bad Cantonese. He was on screen for several months because of sitcom OL Supreme, and now No Regrets. Lam Tsz Sin is pretty nice, but not at the right time and not many people remember his name. Him Law only has a little fame from Suspects in Love as a muscle man. Joel Chan still needs some good opportunities to win this award.

Most Improved Actress
Selena Li
Elaine Yiu 
Natalie Tong
Skye Chan 
Mimi Lo 

**It's hard to pick ar!!! >.< I like them all, I really can't decide, can't follow TVB's pattern in this one. I like Natalie Tong...and Elaine Yiu. But TVB might surprise us by selecting another host winner (Skye Chan) or the "revived salted fish" Mimi Lo.

My Favorite Male TV Character
Steven Ma in A Watchdog's Tale
Raymond Lam in Mysteries of Love
Bobby Au-Yeung in A Pillowcase of Mystery II
Moses Chan in Can't Buy Me Love
Wayne Lai in No Regrets


**Either these 3 XD It's a "pork" award---whoever didn't win TV King would usually get this. Personally my pick is...Wayne.

My Favorite Female TV Character
Tavia Yeung in Mysteries of Love
Teresa Mo in Some Day
Charmaine Sheh in Can't Buy Me Love
Fala Chen in Can't Buy Me Love
Sheren Tang in No Regrets

**Either Charmaine or Sheren....

Best Television Program Host

Steven Ma (Apprentice Chef)
Liza Wang, Louis Yuen, Johnson Lee, Wong Cho Lam (Fun With Liza and Gods)
Eric Tsang, Chin Ka Lok, Elvina Kong, King Kong, Otto (Super Trio Game Master)
Sammy Leung, Kristal Tin (The Voice 2)
Bowie Lam, Carlo Ng, Samantha Ko (Health Oddities)

**They're the most popular this year! It's gotta be them, or they will Best TV Program

Good luck to all! Can't wait for the result to come!

Wayne Lai & Sheren Tang Might Win TV King & Queen Again


TVB's 2010 Anniversary Awards is this Sunday and everyone has been discussing who will be this year's TV King and Queen. Audience voting ended on November 28 and all the votes have been calculated. The "professionals"---heads of 6 TVB department including Virginia Lok, Ho Lai Chun, Tommy Leung, and Catherine Tsang---finally voted yesterday and their votes count as 50% of the voting (20% producers, 30% audience).

According to reliable sources, most of these 6 people voted last year's TV King and Queen Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang. As for audience voting, the top 5 nominations for TV King are (random order): Raymond Lam, Steven Ma, Wayne Lai, Felix Wong, and Moses Chan; top 5 nominations for TV Queen are (random order): Charmaine Sheh, Sheren Tang, Linda Chung, Tavia Yeung, and Jessica Hsuan.

However, there could be still changes. Although Wayne's series "No Regrets" just ended last week with high ratings, but Moses' biggest advantage is that he is TVB's "biological son." His only disadvantage is that his "Can't Buy Me Love" ended a while ago and audience might have forgotten his performance.

Ada Choi: It's An Unexpected Pregnancy


Ada Choi's husband Max Zhang announced Ada's pregnancy recently. The 37 year old returned Hong Kong from Mainland and accepted a radio interview yesterday. She disclosed in the interview that she feels surprised about the pregnancy because they actually plan to have kids two years after marriage:

"It's a little unexpected. Our plan is to have kids two years after marriage. I still need to finish jobs that are scheduled already."

The actress does not finish filming of a Mainland series until January. Asked whether she would be a full-time mom, she said: "I really like my job. So besides working less during pregnancy, I only plan to stop working for a month after the baby is born and will resume working afterward."

The mom-to-be is thinking about names for the baby lately and she wants a one-word name. She once considered "Ching" (晴), meaning "sunny," but husband said the name does not work if it is a baby boy. She said: "Leave the final decision to Max. He's the head of the family." She does not want to disclose how long she is pregnant for because she is afraid of being asked by reporters.

3 'Gods' Don't Dare to Play Law Kar-ying


Liza Wang (Ah Jeh) and the 3 'Gods' Wong Cho Lam, Louis Yuen, and Johnson Lee went to the rehearsal for this weekend's <荃加福祿壽宇宙最長> ("Liza and Gods' Universe' Longest") concert. Three models were arranged to take photos with Johnson because he will dirty-dance with models at the concert. Cho Lam and Louis joked they already had a "proper meal" (girlfriend) and leave dirty-dancing to Johnson, who needs to lose weight and eat less "meat" (desire). Louis also exposed several guys fight to dance with Ah Jeh and they will sing with a pop queen, too.

Asked whether Law Kar-ying (Ka Ying Gor) would attend to the concert? Ah Jeh expressed he is not in Hong Kong. Whether they would find someone to impersonate him? Louis said: "We don't dare. It's disrespecting." Whether their girlfriends would show up? Louis made fun of Johnson: "Johnson will ask 'big' 'medium' 'small' dim sum to come (pointing to Johnson's rumored girlfriend 'spring roll'). TVB Anniversary Awards is this Sunday and they plan a skit for it; someone will appear to get the award that night. As for whether it would be Moses Chan or Wayne Lai, they will not reveal until that night.

Raymond Wong Faces Anniversary Awards Peacefully


Anniversary series "No Regrets" pushed Raymond Wong Ho-Yin's popularity to the peak. He accepted an interview by Metro Radio today and talked about this Sunday's TVB Anniversary Awards.

Steven Ma: A Miracle If I Win TV King


Steven Ma, Evergreen Mak, Natalie Tong, Christine Kuo, etc attended to the blessing ceremony for upcoming series <紫禁驚雷>. Steven expressed two of his new series is airing but it is not good for Anniversary Awards that is held at the end of the year: "'A Watchdog's Tale' is one of the highest rating series. 'Ghost Writer' is used to fight against World Cup. I'm in the showbiz for many years. Many series are used to fight against other events. If I do win at this year's Anniversary Awards, it would be a miracle." He said his only wish this year is Evergreen to win Best Supporting Actor: "This crappy Fei Fan Gor is so popular, it's good even if he has to eat poop!"

As for Best Actor, Steven expressed he did not vote but if he has to, he would vote for Kent Cheng because he taught him many things. He also does not believe Sheren Tang would exchange TV Queen with TVB long term contract.

As for Evergreen, who is one of the favorites to win Best Supporting Actor, he said he met A-list actor Chow Yun-fat earlier and Chow looks highly on him: "In fact not only God is looking at us, Fat Gor is also looking. He is my idol. I feel very honored and excited already when he praised my performance!"

First time playing villain, Natalie expressed it is quite a challenge for her. She will pair with Kenneth Ma again after "Truth." Christine, who is not good at speaking Cantonese, said she found two teachers to help her out.

Miriam Yeung & Real Ding Shoot Wedding Photos in Paris


Miriam Yeung and husband Real Ding are holding their wedding in December 20 and 24. The couple went to Paris earlier for a week to shoot pretty wedding photos. It was the singer's first time going to Paris and she always wanted to shoot wedding photos in this romantic city.

However, weather those several days were not good for shooting photos. It was drizzling those days and Miriam would pray every night for a sunny day. It was finally sunny when she shoot photos near Chaeteau de Versailles. Perhaps it was the prayer that made the sun came out suddenly.

It was also cold too that the temperature was only around 3-4 Celsius. Miriam had to bear cold weather in her strapless wedding gown. Husband Real was afraid of the cold and he said: "Miriam's clothes are thin and she has to expose her shoulders. I'm wearing a suit, it's warmer than that she wears. It's hard to be women, haha!"
