TVB Anniversary Awards

Saturday is the big event so I decided to see who my favourites were and who I think would win. Bold indicates winners in the respective category

Best Actor
I like Kenneth and I thought he did well in SLII but I wouldn’t pick him as Best Actor to be honest and out of the recent list of 100 TVB Actors/Actresses he only got 2 votes from and both were co stars. Roger Kwok is definitely not in my favourites but it seems like he still has some force inside TVB as he garnered 10 votes from colleagues. I really liked Catch Me Now (to an extent more than Moonlight Resonance) but I wouldn’t choose Damian Lau as Best Actor. Sadly Frankie Lam only got 1 vote and that was from his loyal wife! Michael Miu isn’t my cup of tea either as I think he’s too stiff. Ha Yu would be my alternative but currently I think he is most likely going to win the award, with comments on him not rejoining TVB unless they give him the award and stuff. Moses Chan has receded into the limelight this year even though I thought he acted really well! Raymond Lam is my favourite but to be honest I think it is likely he’ll win favourite character award as firstly he’s still very young and most winners are in 30+ secondly he isn’t likely going to cut his contract with TVB like Ha Yu could – funnily enough both don’t seem to have that many series next year – but I really hope Raymond wins it next year! Bobby Au Yeung has very little chance, his best chance to win any award was last year but he bummed that up. Kevin Cheng has improved in my mind and I would actually put him in most improved (it would be so funny if he was in that category), but anyway I don’t think he’ll win either.

My Top 5: Raymond Lam, Ha Yu, Moses Chan, Kenneth Ma, Damian Lau
Actual Top 5 (Speculation): Raymond Lam, Ha Yu, Damian Lau, Roger Kwok, Moses Chan

Best Actress
Liza Wang is a huge outsider and an outsider for me to; though I liked her portrayal of Ophelia I wouldn’t give it any awards! Sonija Kwok has the single support of Wong Hei but I guess that’s enough! Linda Chung did well and I would definitely put her in my Top 5 but not a winner. Nancy Sit is the only one without any support in the Poll! I feel so sorry for her cause even Kate Tsui got some votes for her! Charmaine Sheh is unlikely to be the winner whatever happens. Kate Tsui – I’m asking myself why she’s in here (I don’t hate her though, opinion purely based on the fact she’s not a Top Actress yet). Sheren Tang is definitely a great actress but this year I don’t think she deserves the award – however if you were to count previous works she should win the award cause she has missed out twice in 2004 and 2006. Then we have the three MR’s, I wouldn’t mind if either of the 3 win – actually I think if Louise Lee wins I’ll be slightly disappointed cause she’ll be a two time winner! However I think the race is between Michelle and Louise this year.

My Top 5: Michelle Yim, Louise Lee, Susanna Kwan, Linda Chung, Sheren Tang
Actual Top 5 (S): Michelle Yim, Louise Lee, Susanna Kwan, Liza Wang, Charmaine Sheh

Best Supporting Actor
Not too interested in this award but the only thing I have to say is that I like Kenneth Ma but not in The Master of Tai Chi!
My Top 5: Derek Kwok, Wayne Lai, Paul Chun, Johnson Lee, Oscar Leung (if Stephen Au and Kenneth Ma were nominated for different characters I would put them in and take out Paul and Oscar)
Actual Top 5: Wayne Lai, Kenneth Ma, Chow Chung, Tsui Wing, Derek Kwok
It was actually really difficult to predict some of the top 5; this is what I decided in the end, whilst I think Wayne is very likely to win.

Best Supporting Actress
This is the toughest group for me but this is what I’d say. Joyce is great but sadly she is unlikely to make a splash in the awards. Bernice is Ok but is very unlikely to win if she didn’t even win last year when so many people were routing for her. Sharon Chan is an unlikely to win this award but I think she’s getting there – maybe in the next 2 years. Nancy Wu is an unlikely outsider but I think she’s doing really well; I especially like her in TSCOS and LOTDG. Claire Yiu is Ok but not a contender, same goes towards Crystal Tin. Tavia Yeung is definitely the one to beat here. I doubt Fala Chen will win again – even though she did better this year than last. Kate is an unlikely outsider whilst Lee Heung Kam is my favourite.

My Top 5: Lee Heung Kam, Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen, Nancy Wu, Joyce Tang (sadly Sharon and not so sadly Kate were edged out for me)
Actual Top 5 (S): Lee Heung Kam, Tavia Yeung, Fala Chen, Kate Tsui, and Nancy Wu

Favourite Male Character
My Top 5: Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, Derek Kwok, Raymond Lam, Ha Yu?
Actual Top 5 (S): Bosco Wong, Roger Kwok, Ha Yu, Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng

Favourite Female Character
My Top 5: Myolie Wu, Christine Ng, Louise Lee, Fala Chen, Linda Chung
Actual Top 5 (S): Liza Wang, Myolie Wu, Louise Lee, Fala Chen, and Susanna Kwan

Most Improved Actor
My Winner: Derek Kwok or Oscar Leung
Actual Winner: Wong Cho Lam (100% sure)

Most Improved Actress
My Winner: Selena Li/Sharon Chan/Nancy Wu (I would choose Tavia but I think she shouldn’t be nominated in an award which is generally for the up and coming actresses).
Actual Winner: Don’t know, probably Tavia Yeung though
