TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: Best Supporting Actress

Mandy Wong (L'Escargot)
- She seems to be good at playing loud-mouthed character eh?! Indeed, she was good here in LE but was quite unnatural in DID.

Nancy Wu (Gloves Come Off)
- Excellent performance for an unimportant role in a male-oriented series (does that make sense?!)

Rachel Kan (Master of Play)
- Good to see her getting nominated but her chance of getting the award is close to 0 ~~

Mary Hon (Three Kingdoms RPG)
- She was hilarious in Three Kingdoms RPG but I agree with many people who think that she should be nominated for SSSS instead. She was great there. In fact, she has always been a reliable veteran.

Christine Kuo (Ghetto Justice II)
- Thank you for partially ruining GJ2 for me!!

Florence Kwok (King Maker)
- Florence is awesome this year. From Let It Be Love to No Good Either Way to King Maker, she gave an outstanding performance. Sadly, she won't be taking any award soon.

Eliza Sam (Divas in Distress)
- Isn't it a bit too early for her to be here? I feel that Mimi Chu should be nominated instead.

Law Lan (The Last Steep Ascent)
- She was great in TLSA as a cute mother-in-law. Her performance was truly enjoyable.

Elena Kong (Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles)
- I love Elena ever since the first time I saw her onscreen. She's great in every role and it's no exception in SSSS. Wonderful performance!!

Aimee Chan (The Confidant)
- Too bubbly for my like but since TVB is promoting her like crazy, we have no choice but to accept it. Again, remove this nomination and bring her Best Actress nomination for TLSA here.

Other actresses that should be nominated but sadly aren't: Rebecca Chan and Elaine Yiu from Bottled Passion, and Joyce Tang from L'Escargot.

Predictions

Top 5: Mandy Wong, Nancy Wu, Law Lan, Elena Kong, Aimee Chan

Winner: Nancy Wu
- TVB is probably (and hopefully!!) pressured by the fact that Nancy won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 17th Asian Television Awards for the same role.

TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: Best Supporting Actor

Now this list is even more interesting than the Best Actor list!!

Oscar Leung (L'Escargot)
- That outrageous slap he gave Mandy's character was still memorable to me. Yes, Oscar was good in LE, but I think I like him more in Tiger Cubs.

Him Law (The Hippocratic Crush)
- Him's character in THC was likable but it didn't put his acting to the test. He's decent in my opinion.

Edwin Siu (Daddy Good Deeds)
- Ah Yap was just too funny in DGD, truly the star of the show.

Ram Chiang (Witness Insecurity)
- Ram is a good actor and I know it. It's just that I haven't watched much of him in WI so I can't say much. He was awesome in Wish and Switch too.

Jazz Lam (Ghetto Justice II)
- I feel that Jazz was losing steam in GJ2, nevertheless, he was good. It's a different side of him that we don't usually get to see.

Koo Ming Wah (Divas in Distress)
- We usually see him in the background in every series, but now we all know his name. That's just impressive!! Koo Ming Wah really stood out in DID and even overshadowed the leads of the show.

Kenny Wong (The Last Steep Ascent)
- Kenny was alright in TLSA. I think he showed even more emotions than Moses did.

Vincent Wong (Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles)
- Vincent has always been a decent actor and he did good in SSSS too, though I don't think the role really suits him.

Power Chan (The Confidant)
- I adore him so much in TC. He is what makes TC enjoyable for me at the moment. Power has always been a good actor, it's just that he's often stuck with roles that didn't do him justice.

Elliot Ngok (The Confidant)
- From what I have seen so far, his character is pretty one-note, just evil, evil and more evil.

I really want to see Joel Chan on this list. He was awesome in TLSA. Who else? Ah yes, Lee Shing Cheung. He's one of the saving factors of Three Kingdoms RPG, and he was good in King Maker too. Last but not least, people seem to have forgotten Eric Li from Bottled Passion ~~ quite sad!!

Predictions

Top 5: Oscar Leung, Him Law, Edwin Siu, Koo Ming Wah, Power Chan

Winner: Power Chan
- It's probably time for TVB to recognize the talented but underrated supporting actor who is often referred to as Wayne Lai #2 (even my family mixed them up!!)

TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: Best Actress

Charmaine Sheh (When Heaven Burns)
- Definitely one of the strongest performances this year. She truly impressed me in WHB.

Niki Chow (Bottled Passion)
- Let's face it, Niki's acting is probably one of the weakest in BP. Her crying scenes still seem so forced to me. And her voice sounded so whiny for some reason in BP.

Fala Chen (Queens of Diamonds and Hearts)
- Hmmm..... how about no?! Fala was OTT in QODAH. Too bad that this is her only series this year.

Linda Chung (Witness Insecurity)
- From the bits and pieces I watched, I found Linda rather awkward in the role.

Myolie Wu (Ghetto Justice II)
- I don't see any difference in her performance comparing to last year, though I admit that she's good at playing lawyer.

Liza Wang (Divas in Distress)
- Good or bad, it's a tradition that Liza is nominated. Well, she did ok in DID, not her best though

Aimee Chan (The Last Steep Ascent)
- This nomination puzzles me for the longest time, and it still does!! Now I'm not saying that Aimee did bad, she did ok in fact, but her character is more of a supporting.

Kate Tsui (Highs and Lows)
- Kate was good in HAL but not best. She improved a lot in her acting, despite some inconsistency. However, her sudden surge of popularity really caught me off guard.

Tavia Yeung (Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles)
- Everyone is saying it's Tavia's year and I see that too. This is her year. I haven't watched a whole lot of SSSS yet but she was at least consistent in her performance. If Myolie can get it last year, I don't see why Tavia can't.

Michelle Yim (The Confidant)
- Michelle has little to do from what I have seen so far. I can't really comment.

Where is Maggie Cheung? She's the main character, not Aimee!! And Jessica Hsuan? If Joe Ma is nominated for Best Actor, I don't see why Jessica can't be. She deserves a spot on the Best list more than him. And finally, Maggie Siu also deserves to be nominated.



 

Predictions

Top 5: Linda Chung, Myolie Wu, Kate Tsui, Tavia Yeung, Michelle Yim

Winner: Tavia Yeung

TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: Best Actor

Kenneth Ma (The Hippocratic Crush)
- I hate to say this but the best acting from Kenneth this year is not from THC but from Three Kingdoms RPG!! It's not that Kenneth wasn't good in THC but he was inconsistent at times. It's the better quality script of THC and the likeableness of his character Yat Kin Tau that make it seem otherwise. But since he's nominated for this role and just by looking solely at this role, I don't think he's ready for Best Actor.

Roger Kwok (Queens of Diamonds and Hearts)
- Roger was OTT in QODAH from beginning to end, except for a few episodes near the end where he took on the role of Chung Mo Yim. But since TVB is short on talents (I'm not saying that Roger isn't talented though) and in a way they wanted to make this list seem 'heavier', they would automatically throw in Roger. So basically Roger is just nominated for the sake of being nominated.

Kevin Cheng (Gloves Come Off)
- Kevin is nominated for the correct role. I remember I said that he acted better in GCO than in Ghetto Justice, then he was even worse in GJ2 so this is the right nomination. Judging from his performance in GCO, I think he deserves a spot on the nomination list. But Best Actor? Not quite!!

Raymond Wong (Gloves Come Off)
- Ray Wong should be nominated for his role in Bottled Passion instead. His acting in GCO was good too but he was better in BP.

Joe Ma (Tiger Cubs)
- Joe was bland in Tiger Cubs, both his acting and his character. In fact, Joe in Tiger Cubs was just for show. There was nothing memorable about his performance. And I don't think the role required much acting from him either.

Bosco Wong (Witness Insecurity)
- From the little bits and pieces I watched, Bosco had little to do so no comment.

Moses Chan (The Last Steep Ascent)
- Moses' performance in TLSA was inadequate. He should be nominated for his role in When Heaven Burns instead. But since this award is decided by audience vote, there's no difference because what most people care about is the artiste himself and not his performance in that particular series. Again, wrong nomination so no Best Actor for Moses.

Raymond Lam (Highs and Lows)
- Raymond gave a rather disappointing performance in HAL. I expected more from him. In recent years, his acting seems to have downgraded. This is not Raymond's year, in term of performance.

Damian Lau (Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles)
- Haven't watched enough of him in SSSS to fairly comment on his performance.

Wayne Lai (The Confidant)
- Haven't watched a whole lot of TC yet but from what I have seen so far, Wayne was good.

Bowie Lam from WHB, Adam Cheng from MOP and Michael Miu from HAL should also be on this nomination list for their brilliant performances in their respective series.



Predictions

Top 5: Kenneth Ma, Moses Chan, Raymond Lam, Damian Lau, Wayne Lai

Winner: Raymond Lam. Cuz his fans say so.
