Best Actor- My Nominations
Bobby Au Yeung - Dicey Business
Ha Yu - Heart of Greed
Moses Chan - Heart of Greed
Damian Lau - The Drive of Life
Raymond Lam - The Drive of Life

I thought that as I haven't seen The Conquest, On the First Beat, Steps, Men Don't Cry and The Ultimate Crime Fighter I wouldn't choose those but generally I don't think the actors there would win awards anyway.
I found it hard therefore to choose 5 actors.
Bobby Au Yeung had to be in the top 5 as he acted his role in Dicey Business well and I thought he deserves the top 5. Ha Yu is also very good in HOG and it's very likely he'll be overlooked for the top 5 as he's an older actor but he did well. Moses Chan in HOG was also very good and many believe he'll take the award. After the top three there it was hard to choose Best Actors.
Personally it was the Drive of Life cast against Roger Kwok. In the end I thought TDOL did better so I chose Damian Lau and Raymond Lam who I thought were the better two in that series. I like Raymond Lam though but if he was chosen for HOG I would have voted for him more because he acted better in HOG than TDOL that is why I'm so annoyed with TVB's rule now that an actor can only be nominated once (and they always choose the drama which was more expensive) Anyway I hope it will be a tussle between Bobby and Moses which Moses should win because of all his hard work. Also I am annoyed that Bosco wasn't nominated for Dicey Business because he did much better there.

Best Actress
Charmaine Sheh - Glittering Days
Jessica Hsuan - Dicey Business
Michelle Yim - The Brink of Law
Lee Si Kei - Heart of Greed
Susanna Kwan - Heart of Greed

I personally had a difficult time with this one as Linda Chung was also on my list and Tavia Yeunf was also very close up aswell however in the end Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan and Charmaine Sheh took the other three spots along with Michelle Yim and Jessica Hsuan, personally i thought the later two did better in there series. Many would argue that Lee Si Kei and Susanna Kwan were better in HOG but I thought Lee Si Kei tended to be a bit stiff sometimes and Susanna didn't have the overall package with mainly her argueing scenes as the best. Personally I think Michelle Yim should win as she was very good in The Brink of Law but Jessica was also good in Dicey Business however she's won it before so let Michelle win. However I know on the day it won't be like this and probably Linda, Sheren or Gigi will take Michelle Yim's spot.

Best Supporting Actor
Paul Chun - Glittering Days
Benz Hui - Dicey Business
Evergreen Mak - Life Art
Lai Lok Yi - Heart of Greed
Louis Yuen - Heart of Greed

These are the five I thought were the best supporting actors this year. Personally I think they all did well in there characters but I would pick Evergreen Mak and Benz Hui as the top two but It will probably go to Benz Hui as I think Chris Lai will win Most Improved and Life Art wasn't a success.

Best Supporting Actress
Halina Tam - Glittering Days
Florence Kwok - On the First Beat
Gigi Wong - The Drive of Life
Mary Hon - Fathers and Sons
Natalie Tong - The Ultimate Crime Fighter

I sort of cheated here because I haven't seen On the First Beat or The Ultimate Crime Fighter instead I chose the two actresses from previous performances. I think though that all of them were Ok so I wouldn't mind whoever out of them wins but I think Fala Chen may sneak in and get the prize as she is backed up strongly by TVB or maybe even Toby Leung!

Most Favourite Male Character
Bosco Wong as Cheung Loi Fu - Dicey Business
Ha Yue as Bao Bao - Heart of Greed
Moses Chan as Dak Dak Dei - Heart of Greed
Raymond Lam as Alfred - Heart of Greed
Joe Ma as Ngai Wing Piew - The Drive of Life

These are my five favourite male characters this year, Bosco's character was really interesting I thought as Cheung Loi Fu but I personally have to say Raymond's character caught me the most, talking about it now makes my eyes tear up because of what he did for Sheung Joi Sum in HOG so he is my favourite character. However I think Roger Kwok, Damien Lau, Bobby Au Yeung are strong competitors for the nominations (not that i think so) so probably my top 5 won't all be in there.

Most Favourite Female Character
Charmaine Sheh as Ah Lan - Glittering Days
Jessica Hsuan as Lee Ching Wan - Dicey Business
Tavia Yeung as Tam Chu Mei - Dicey Business
Lee Si Kei as Dai Kei - Heart of Greed
Linda Chung as Sung Joi Sum - Heart of Greed

Personally I liked these characters more and I found this as one of the hardest ones to pick as I also liked Liza Wang, Michelle Yim, Susanna Kwan and Kiki Sheung's characters but these five came out as my favourites, personally I will pick the Dicey Business cast and Linda Chung as my favourite characters whilst I liked Lee Si Kei's character because everytime Sai Kei did something aweful I was always looking forward to seeing her confrontation with Dai Kei and Charmaine's character was good aswell however I think TVB will give Susanna and Gigi a place in the top 5 so possibly Tavia and someone else will go from my list. This year however I'm also annoyed that Myolie hasn't been nominated for anything amazing so she has no chance and Ada's nowhere to be seen but she'll have two fantastic series next year!

Most Improved Actor
Jack Wu - Ten Brothers
Matthew Ko - Steps/ The Ultimate Crime Fighter
Stephen Huynh - Dicey Business/ Steps
Vin Choi - Brink of Law/ Best Selling Secrets
Lai Lok Yi - Glittering Days/ Ten Brothers/ Heart of Greed / Green Grass of Home

Personally in this list picking five was hard as basically none have really improved there just the same as usual but Chris Lai has definitely improved from the rest and has been constantly put in series by TVB so he'll win the award and I'm nearly 100% sure.

Most Improved Actress
Selina Li - Change of Destiny
Kate Tsui - On the First Beat/ Steps
Natalie Tong - Life Art/ The Green Grass of Home/ The Ultimate Crime Fighter
Fala Chen - Heart of Greed/ Family Link/ Steps
Bernice Liu - Brink of Law/Devil's Deciple/ Steps

I don't actually think any of the actresses have improved here but instead I'll pick out the ones that I think will be better next year.
Out of the 5 I picked generally i have because they are heavily promoted so will improve except for Selina Li who is only lightly promoted. Bernice Liu and Fala Chen I think will fight for this award from what I hear but except for these 5 Nancy Wu, Leila Tong and Sharon Chan are good aswell. Yoyo Chen did well in the Brink of Law and Toby Leung is just aweful!

Best Series
Glittering Days
Dicey Business
The Brink of Law
Heart of Greed
The Drive of Life

These are my 5 favourites of this year (Best Bet was also quite good I thought)

Most Favourite Host
Amigo Chui - Jade Solid Gold
Wong Yee Hing/ Suki Chui/ Sam Cheuk Ting - More than Words
Lydia Shum - Where are they Now
Miriam Yeung and Sammy Leung - Minutes to Fame
Choi Lan/ Vanessa Yeung - Market Trotter

I will have to choose Lydia Shum because she is so bubbily, hope she get's well soon.

Best Creativity
More Than Words
the Web

Only seen these 2 so I'll chose both

Best Variety Show
More than Words
Where Are They Now
Tohoku Travel
On the Road
Strictly Come Dancing

These five are I think my favourite ones

Haven't seen many promotional clips so i won't judge.

So in my wanted nominations Heart of Greed is associated with 14 nominations whilst Dicey Business is with 8, Glittering Days with 6 and The Drive of Life with 5
This year i think everyone will agree that Heart of Greed should be awarded as the most successful series!
