TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: Most Improved Female Artiste


Unlike in the Most Improved Male Artiste category, I see no competition here, at all!!

Eliza Sam
- Eliza showed potential as an actress in her first major role in Divas in Distress. She did fine for her part, though her acting is still very raw and seems to be overdramatic sometimes. However, considering that it was only her second time acting, she deserves praises. Eliza can wait a year or two so she can try out different roles first before she can get Most Improved.

Christine Kuo
- Christine was in 2 series this year and she was horrible in both series. The fact that she ruined a big chunk of Ghetto Justice II and Tiger Cubs was enough for me to avoid her series in the near future. She should improve her Cantonese and try to control her voice in those crying scenes. Maybe then she will become more tolerable. As for now, Most Improved?? Nahh!!

Mandy Wong
- Mandy shows diversity in her acting, although she seems to be more comfortable in those strong female roles. Nonetheless, her acting is consistent and she is the strongest one among the 5 nominees.

Cilla Kung
- Cilla seems to be stuck in those little sister roles, which is starting to make her acting dull. Cilla this year seems no difference from Cilla last year. In fact, last year she still managed to impress me with her short appearance in Forensic Heroes III. This year, none of her roles so far really captures my attention. As for Most Improved, she can wait.

Katy Kung
- Katy is another actress that I think has potential. However, so far she also seems to be stuck in one type of character. She is very young (just turned 23) and still has a lot of time to improve and try different roles. She's in no rush of getting this award.

There is someone else that I think should have been nominated in place of Christine Kuo and that is JJ Jia. JJ is in a lot of series this year and I think she is decent as an actress, at least more tolerable.

Predictions

Winner: Mandy Wong
- I don't think anyone will have problem with Mandy winning. This is her year. In fact, I would be really shocked if Mandy won't win.

TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: Most Improved Male Artiste


Competition is fierce in this category, especially among Oscar, Edwin and Him.

Vincent Wong
- Vincent has more chance to show off his acting skill this year. In Wish and Switch, he is the second male lead. In Tiger Cubs, his memorable scene at the end generated heated discussion among the audience. In Silver Spoons, Sterling Shackles, his acting skill gained recognition and even got nominated for this year Best Supporting Actor. Vincent has charm and no doubt can act. However, the timing is off for him this year as he is up against some strong competitors.

King Kong
- King Kong is decent as an actor but his biggest weak point is his Cantonese. Starring in 3 series and 4 variety shows, King Kong is definitely working hard this year. Not to mention this poor guy has been the bully target of Eric Tsang whenever they host shows together. Sympathy points anyone?

Oscar Leung
- Oscar comes out as one of the biggest surprises this year. At the beginning of the year, Oscar generated some buzz by portraying a useless, immature brother in L'Escargot. Later in Tiger Cubs, he continued to impress the audience with his charm and acting skill. Who could ever forget the trademark wink of our beloved sniper? Oscar currently hopes to leave one last impression on the audience before the awards show by taking on the role of Emperor Tongzhi in The Confidant. He is no doubt a strong contender for this year Most Improved.

Edwin Siu
- Acting wise, Edwin is probably the strongest one among the 5 nominees. This year, he showed great potential in both comedy and villainous roles. Edwin also earns himself some lead roles in upcoming series. His most memorable role this year is probably Ah Yap from Daddy Good Deeds, which is also nominated for the Best Supporting category. But since this series was aired earlier this year, will the forgetful audience still remember how great he was?

Him Law
- It's his physique that kills!! And to top that off, Him is also a decent actor, not to mention his romance with one of the hot favorites for this year TV Queen, even though by no means this should ever be considered as a factor that can influence one's chance of getting the award. Among the 5 nominees, Him probably has the greatest news value. However, none of his roles this year are that outstanding and memorable.

Predictions

Winner: Him Law
- A poll from TVB forum shows that Oscar, Edwin and Him have roughly the same number of supporters. However, TVB will probably see the greatest marketing value from Him.

TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: My Favorite Female Character


Charmaine Sheh as Hazel Yip Chi Yan (When Heaven Burns)
- One of Charmaine's most interesting roles so far, and of course also one of my favorites

Niki Chow as Tsui Sum (Bottled Passion)
- Milk Candy was ok, not on my favorite list though.

Tavia Yeung as Fan Chi Yu (The Hippocratic Crush)
- Definitely one of my favorite characters of this year. Like Onion said: "I love Yu"

Fala Chen as Chung Mo Yim (Queens of Diamonds and Hearts)
- Errrrrrr.................... no thanks!!

Myolie Wu as Kris Wong Sze Fu (Ghetto Justice II)
- There's something about this Kris character that really irks me.

Kristal Tin as Yim Sam Leung (King Maker)
- Both of her roles in King Maker and No Good Either Way are likable. If I have to choose one though, I would pick this role since she reminds me of Sheren Tang in No Regrets.

Eliza Sam as Hannah Heung Lai Hing (Divas in Distress)
- Sorry but I think I like Hannah's mother more.

Kate Tsui as Pat Chan Ka Bik (Highs and Lows)
- Likable for the first half, annoying for the second half, but interesting as a whole

Tavia Yeung as Hong Tze Kwan (Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles)
- I hear TVB screaming "Tavia must win something!!" lol... idk, don't really like this character so far.

Michelle Yim as Cixi (The Confidant)
- This Cixi is too good for my like (so far!!)

Predictions

Top 5: Charmaine Sheh, Tavia Yeung, Myolie Wu, Kate Tsui, and Tavia Yeung (I have a feeling that this would happen, again!!)

Winner: Kate Tsui

TVB 45th Anniversary Awards Nomination: My Favorite Male Character


No matter how you look at it, this is still a consolation for losing the Best award. Although in some rare occasion, TVB may give it to the same artiste to prove that they are not dividing pork.

Kenneth Ma as Cheung Yat Kin (The Hippocratic Crush)
- Yat Kin Tau is just lovable in general, enough said.

Bobby Au Yeung as Kiu Bo Lung (House of Harmony and Vengeance)
- Sadly, he's just nominated for the sake of being nominated. And no, I don't like his character either.

Bosco Wong as Hui Wai Sam (Witness Insecurity)
- Haven't watched much of Hui Sir but I'm pretty sure he's one of the more likable ones on the list.

Kevin Cheng as Law Lik Ah (Ghetto Justice II)
- After GJ2, the love and respect I originally had for Law Ba all vanished. Good job TVB!!

Moses Chan as Miu Tin (The Last Steep Ascent)
- Sorry but I love Hak Jai/Angus from When Heaven Burns more.

Michael Miu as Gordon Heung Wing (Highs and Lows)
- Gordon was just so interesting to watch. I love that his character remains good in the end.

Raymond Lam as Happy Wai Sai Lok (Highs and Lows)
- This Happy is not that happy to me. Sorry but I don't really like his character.

Damian Lau as Arthur Chung Cheuk Man (Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles)
- Ehh?! His harem is just disgusting!!

Wayne Lai as Li Lin Ying (The Confidant)
- The (a bit more) masculine version of Lau Sam Ho --- not my like at the moment.

Raymond Wong as Yiu Seung Hei (The Confidant)
- For now, his character is likeable but his storyline doesn't do him justice.

Predictions

Top 5: Kenneth Ma, Bosco Wong, Kevin Cheng, Raymond Lam, Wayne Lai

Winner: Kenneth Ma
- I have a feeling that Kenneth will walk away with at least something.
