2012 TVB Anniversary Awards: Wayne Lai and Tavia Yeung Win Top Honors
The 45th TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony concluded to many cheers on Monday night in Hong Kong. Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) was crowned Best Actor for The Confidant <大太監>. Tavia Yeung (楊怡) won Best Actress for her performance in Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles <名媛望族>. When Heaven Burns <天與地> was not forgotten by audiences despite airing one year ago and won the Best Series award.
TVB almost pushed the mass hysteria button when it announced that Hong Kong audiences’ votes will determine the winners of the Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Series awards this year. TVB artists actively campaigned for fan votes, quickly arousing criticism that the awards were a popularity contest. Hackers, who had brought the 2012 Miss Hong Kong Pageant voting system to its knees, were widely feared to also disrupt the Anniversary Awards show. Fortunately, TVB’s technical system prevailed and audiences voted wisely for the well-deserved winners.
Best Series: When Heaven Burns
Produced by Jonathan Chik (戚其義) and written by Chow Yuk Ming (周旭明), When Heaven Burns was voted by Hong Kong audiences as the Best Series. Aired at the end of last year, the finale was broadcast on January 1, 2012. Despite the long lapse since its broadcast, When Heaven Burns left a deep impression for its original script and stellar acting performances.
Other top finalists in the Best Series category were The Confidant and The Hippocratic Crush < On Call 36小時>.
Best Actor: Wayne Lai
Leading up to the Anniversary Awards ceremony, Raymond Lam (林峯) was regarded to have the highest chance in winning Best Actor due to his large fan base. Kenneth Ma (馬國明) was also regarded as a top favorite, after winning Malaysia’s TV King award. Fans and artists were equally shocked when it was announced that Wayne Lai won the TVB Best Actor award for The Confidant, marking his third victory in four years of the same honor.
Accepting the Best Actor award from Deanie Ip (葉德嫻), Wayne felt very lucky and thanked the audience for voting for his victory, which made it even more meaningful. “It has been ten years since I returned to TVB. How many decades does one have in life? I thank Catherine Tsang (曾勵珍) for bring me back onstage. I want to share the honors with the three most important people in my life: my wife, son, and mother.”
The other top finalists in the Best Actor category were Raymond Lam, Kenneth Ma, Damian Lau (劉松仁), and Moses Chan (陳豪).
Best Actress: Tavia Yeung
When it was announced that Tavia Yeung received more than 110,000 votes crowning her as Best Actress, tears flooded her eyes. Tavia reminisced about the difficulties she faced as an actress over the last 13 years, but she never gave up on her dreams.
Although rumored boyfriend, Him Law’s (羅仲謙) eyes were also tearful, Tavia did not thank Him in her acceptance speech, as she had promised earlier.
The other top finalists for the Best Actress award were Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣), Charmaine Sheh (佘詩曼), Michelle Yim (米雪), and Kate Tsui (徐子珊).
Best Supporting Actor: Koo Ming Wah
Although a graduate of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, 48-year-old Koo Ming Wah (古明華) has had a turbulent acting career, portraying one-scene roles and struggling to make ends meet. The 48-year-old even thought about quitting, but credits Felix Wong (黃日華) in reigniting his passion for acting, which paid off handsomely this year.
Never imagining he would have such a bountiful year, Koo was extremely emotional in his acceptance speech. He expressed his gratitude towards producer Poon Ka Tak (潘嘉德) for developing his career and casting him in the memorable role of So Gay in Divas in Distress <巴不得媽媽…>.
The Best Supporting Actor race was largely between Koo Ming Wah and Power Chan (陳國邦), with Koo snagging the victory following his win in Malaysia at the My Astro on Demand Awards.
Best Supporting Actress: Nancy Wu
Nancy Wu’s (胡定欣) fine acting has been praised since she was a newcomer and regarded long overdue to win the Best Supporting Actress award. With her challenging mute boxer role in Gloves Come Off <拳王>, Nancy defeated her closet competitor, Mandy Wong (黃智雯) for Best Supporting Actress.
Next stop for Nancy Wu? The talented 31-year-old actress hopes to become a leading lady!
My Favorite Male Character Award: Kenneth Ma
The Hippocratic Crush < On Call 36小時> gave Kenneth Ma (馬國明) a rush of popularity this year, helping him easily win the My Favorite Male Character Award.
When accepting the award on stage, Kenneth joked that many actors dreaded receiving this award, since it often meant the Best Actor award slipped out of their hands. But Kenneth said he did not mind winning the award every year and thanked all his supporters.
My Favorite Female Character Award: Kate Tsui
Kate Tsui (徐子珊) had vigorously campaigned for votes in this year’s TVB Anniversary Awards race. Although her popularity surged after Highs and Lows <雷霆掃毒>, Kate revealed that many viewers initially disliked her when she first entered the industry.
“I can’t believe that I won this award!” Kate exclaimed. Her work hard over the last eight years paid off, allowing her to win the audience’s acceptance in a breakout year.
Most Improved Actor Award: Oscar Leung
Oscar Leung (梁烈唯) impressed the audience with his versatility in L’Escargot <缺宅男女>, Tiger Cubs <飛虎>, and The Confidant <大太監> this year. Ecstatic when winning the Most Improved Artist award, Oscar kissed Him Law (羅仲謙), who as another hot favorite to win the award, presented the honors.
In his acceptance speech, Oscar thanked TVB management, production staff, his colleagues and family. Struggling for many years financially and in his acting career, Oscar thought about giving up on himself. He especially thanked his girlfriend, Tina, who has stood by his side for the last ten years and lent support during his most difficult times.
Most Improved Actress: Mandy Wong
The stars will only shine brighter for Mandy Wong’s (黃智雯) future, who is regarded as one of TVB’s emerging fadans. Mandy’s memorable spitfire role in L’Escargot was a character everyone loved to hate and landed her the Most Improved Actress award.
Mandy thanked Virginia Lok (樂易玲), Tommy Leung (梁家樹), producers Cheung Kin Man (張乾文) and Poon Ka Tak (潘嘉德) for giving her opportunities to develop her acting skills.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Liza Wang
Dressed in a “dragon robe”, Liza Wang (汪明荃) remains as TVB’s top treasure. When she received the Lifetime Achievement Award, Liza smiled and said that the award is reserved for senior artists. But she felt fortunate that she can continue to connect with audiences through dramas and looks forward to new opportunities after serving TVB for 41 years.
Other Awards:
Luisa Maria Leitao (黎芷珊 ) won the Best Host award for her well-received interview program, Telling Maria <最佳男主角>. From Here to There <快樂地圖> won the Best Variety Program award, while Pilgrimage of Hope <走過烽火大地> won the Best Information Program award.
Outstanding Artist Awards were given to Chin Ka Lok (錢嘉樂), Benz Hui (許紹雄), Sunny Chan (陳錦鴻), Lee Sing Cheung (李成昌), and Carol Cheng (鄭裕玲).

every winner is well deserved!!!!!!!
Especially happy for Tavia 🙂
Satisfied 😀
Wow, must agree that all the winners were very well deserving of the awards. 2012 is a great year for the awards!
Congratulations to Tavia Yeung, the actress that made me stick to TVB all this while. I’m so happy for her!!!! CHEERS, hard work does pay off. Despite the adversity and unkind rumors, at least it shows this world is still fair and kind to honest hard working people that weren’t born with a silver spoon in their mouth, instead worked from bottom up and rose up the ranks to be respected. I am very inspired by Tavia and couldn’t be anymore happier for her.
Agreed!!!
Love all the winners!!
Oscar finally got his recognition he ceserved’
AGREE ALL OF THEM ARE VERY WELL DESERVED !!!!!
Congrats Tavia !!!!!!
and everyone else too : )
what ? LF lost out to wayne. you must be joking!!
Big congrats to the winners!
Nancy Wu looked gorgeous in her shimmery gown!
Can’t wait to see footage of the awards ceremony! Do share anecdotes of the ceremony if you were able to watch it live!
Well deserved winners.
Yeah, Nancy looks shmazing!
Although I support Tavia winning, I think her dress looks hideous!!!
Do you have voters percent.. Top 3 for best actors n best actress
nope there isn’t. They only announced the winners’ votes. Both best actor and actress received approx 110,000 votes respectively
Yeah congrats to all the winners!! They deserve the awards. Damian should be a better choice in receiving Lifetime Achievement Award,
but Liza is alright. Tavia looks so pretty and young in that picture. Kenneth looks handsome in that suit. Wayne and Kate look nice too.
I am shocked at 2 result.
1 is Best actor or rather most popular actor. Now we all know in HK who is the most popular actor. Not Raymond, nor Kenneth, but the undisputed Wayne Lai. I am happy for his 3rd win although I thought Damien should have won. So Kenneth was right. You win character, you won’t win the other.
2. Best series as in When Heaven Burns. I wasn’t aware this cult series is so popular to win the votes. Even the audience gasped in shock and frankly the claps were not enthusiastic at all. I am shocked at this win actually. somehow I am not convinced but since TVB took the time to explain what is 1 vote per person, I won’t dispute. Somewhere in my heart says surely Charmaine would have won Best actress then?
The ceremony was sorta cheap looking. Sorry it was not well organised. The dresses were scary. Tavia looks old (I know she takes effort in dressing but it was too old fashioned). No one really stood out, not even Aimee’s Angelina pose which was rather trying too hard. It wasn’t glamarous enough. Myolie looked weird and I swear when I saw her dress I thought I saw nipples until I realised it was supposed to be some body golden shield thing.
The ceremony itself has some nice moment, Deannie Ip stole the show and poor Kenneth being made the pun when she asked “Who is Ma Kwok Ming? You?” because she doesn’t know him or pretend to. Miriam Yeung was cute but she looked scary. Is it Lo King Fai? The monotone teacher? Anyway it was funny when Jerry Lam impersonated his voice with the real guy next to him. Possibly the funniest moment. They all emphasised on new boss being more generous. Ng Man Tat was there, nice gesture.
The best part was the I think 5 awards for most diligent actors? Something like that. And 4 out of 5 would have acted the pants out of the younger nominees. They deserve supporting actors nod, NOT some “thank you for being on time for work” award. That moment felt like dividing the pork but in a way it is bonus time for the 5 very surprised winners which what I felt as truly genuinely sincere moment of the ceremony even if the award sucks.
Him Law got nothing? Can’t remember, remembered him crying when Tavia won and still Tavia won’t say thanks to him. Poor guy.
Anyway I am sorta happy with the results. Those who won predicted already and the surprise ones were deserving by reputation. It proves Wayne Lai at his weakest is still more popular than the rest.
But hey Kenneth is happy and I am happy for him.
Funn,
Thanks for your thoughts, which mean a lot to overseas viewers who haven’t been able to watch the awards ceremony live. 🙂
Everyone is indeed reeling from Wayne’s win, his 3rd in 4 years. I think everyone expected the torch to be passed along.
In the photos I saw of Jonathan Chik and Chow Yuk Ming, they didn’t seem happy in winning their awards. What were their reactions when they received the awards? Both are rumored to be leaving for mainland China.
This year’s Anniversary Awards marks a breakout year for many winners: Kenneth, Kate, Koo Ming Wah, Oscar, and Mandy. I am especially happy for them because the limelight has never been brighter on their careers before. Winning the awards will no doubt mean more money/ income.
I was also surprised by the Outstanding awards, which were given to veterans instead of popular idols. I felt this year’s awards were well-distributed since the winners all have their merits.
The new TVB boss probably gave the Outstanding awards to veterans to boost morale. Surprised to see Lee Sing Cheung win an award, although he is a good actor, virtually no press on him. Benz Hui, you do see the occasional interview article.
Koo Ming Wah dressed like a winner in his blue velvet suit.
Him Law seems to be the more emotional one in the relationship. 🙂
koo Ming Wah looks fantastic, Power Chan looks handsome. The guys are ok, the women were either underdressed or overdressed. I felt they look better when in malaysia!
The WHB crew? They all looked shocked and didn’t say much. Just thanks. I suppose they were to shocked and the TVB guys kept asking them all to say faster. The only one they can’t push were the presenters that were Ng Man Tat and Benz Hui. I think those 2. Very funny moment.
“Kenneth, Kate, Koo Ming Wah, Oscar, and Mandy”
All of whom were expected. No surprise. Surprise was Wayne and WHB. I just didn’t know WHB was THAT mainstream popular.
By the way Michelle Yim never grows old. She looks incredibly youthful and body amazing. Dress apporpriate too. But they all changed clothes before they were seated.
There was no best couple award if I remember correctly.
All I know is TVB tried to make it look formal but it still feels cheap. More budget needed and bigger studio.
Funn. I don’t think they changed clothes as I saw their red carpet moment and all of them wore the same clothes as during awards time…
Yes… I really hate they were rushing to give their speech and it made the whole show looks cheap..
Michelle Yim changed clothes for sure. I think another actress changed also but can’t remember who.
Interestingly it was the younger actresses who dressed very very frumpy.
Tavia looks dated in her choice. I know she made an effort but I am beginning to think she has this old taste, her gown looked like it should have been retired many years ago.
“And 4 out of 5 would have acted the pants out of the younger nominees.”
Haha so whos the last one? Chin Ka Lok?
Anyway, I really wanted Elena Kong to win best supporting actress. Guess nancys ok though.
@Jayne: yes, Jonathan Chik and Chow Yuk Ming didnt seem too pleased with their win. Their speech were really short and it seemed like they just want to get over with it and leave the stage.
I think they were just surprised. Everybody hardly talks much. If they were not happy they wouldn’t have been there in the first place.
i agree with Fun. they probably didn’t think they would win so they didn’t prepare anything, hence the short speech….and really, what do you expect them to say? most of the speeches that night were artists thanking and sucking up to tvb. it would probably seem pretty fake if the two producers did the same since there’s been so much news of them leaving
danny ip is so arrogant i cant withstand her comment on kenneth ma,so disrespectful. she think she is really the acting queen now,i hate her.
I think it was quite comical. Couldn’t blame her as Kenneth rose to stardom not long ago.
And not many ppl know he is popular, lolz.
i bet she know him unless she doesnt have tv at home.she think she is the queen now and can say everything.
Shu,
“danny ip is so arrogant i cant withstand her comment on kenneth ma,so disrespectful. she think she is really the acting queen now,i hate her.”
Well Deanie will get to know Kenneth Ma well, as they are rumored to star as mother-son in Wong Jing’s upcoming drama. It’s an honor to star opposite Deanie and with Kenneth’s humbleness, I don’t think he minds as long as he can learn some free acting tips from her.
Quite bitter to shu perhaps when having to see Deanie with MM.
Deannie was ok but nothing to sing about and has been inactive for many years until AL got her into partnering him and they won those awards (which doesn’t mean anything to me cause I think it’s partly based on popularity vote for AL). Her head has certainly gotten bigger since then. There’re many veteran actors and actresses (Liza, DoDo and Michelle to name 3) who can equalize her anytime **
She wasn’t arrogant, she was being playful. And if it is arrogance, so what? She is the senior and juniors are supposed to get played around so to speak.
I bet Deanie actually knows him, they even got onto the newspaper together when Wong Jing wanted to cast both of them in a movie.And nowadays Kenneth is everywhere on the media, unless you don’t read newspaper or doesn’t have a TV. She was just living up the atmosphere by joking, since Kenneth doesn’t have much scandals like Moses’s telephone incident (I laughed so hard at this)
I believe Deanie was just joking and being playful to make laughs. Not arrogance and not disrespecting Kenneth. You’re taking it too seriously. She will be working with Kenneth Ma in a 40 episode Wong Jing grand production next year. Lots of times other seniors also playfully jokes on other juniors too. How many seniors call Ray ‘Chok Fung’ onstage or on air? Countless times by countless seniors and veterans. People just laugh. A few days ago in a theater performance veteran Tony Leung call Bosco an insect onstage. People just laugh too.
Uh, she is an acting queen.
Check her achievements here.

Those were the two shocks for me as well. And both at the end of the ceremony too.
1. Wayne’s win was simultaneously surprising yet expected. On one hand it seems like a no-brainer — his acting is already highly regarded plus he’s playing an iconic historical character in a highly promoted anniversary series plus timing of TC’s airing is in his favour plus several media articles touted him as a favourite to win. But part of my brain was thinking nah, surely it would be too unbelievably amazing if he actually accomplished a triple win. And when Kenneth won Favourite Character I thought to myself that LF would take BA for sure. So I was quite surprised, but I’m happy with Wayne winning.
2. I had the same thought about Charmaine and WHB. If WHB was popular enough to win the vote, then surely Charmaine would have gotten a lot of votes too.
I had the same thought about Charmaine and WHB. If WHB was popular enough to win the vote, then surely Charmaine would have gotten a lot of votes too.
——————————–
Absolutely agree with you. Very surprised as Charmaine Sheh has a huge fan base in Hong Kong.
Charmaine has a big fanbase in HK, her series won Best Series and she was leading the polls. I’m convinced she would have won if it had been legit, however she’s no longer with TVB and TVB needs to promote Tavia so can’t really blame them.
I equally don’t believe Wayne won legitimately. But no one cares, because a voting system for Best Actor is ridic. TVB could not give it to Kenneth because that would offend LF, so someone else had to take it. My pick would have been Damian though.
Her dress is kinda old but the huge thing on her necks obviously not.
Hi Funn,
I share ur views on this award show =) Everything was predicted until best actor and best drama.And when they announce best drama, being Chinese illiterate, I was wondering what drama is that, not heard of before!! It was shocking but fun!
Linda look overdressed, Myolie looked spooky. When she hugged Tavia, her “leaf” almost cause wardrobe malfunction! Thank God nth happen haha… Miriam Yeung looks weird with the red lipstick. Deanie Ip is really funny!!!
i watched it live too yesterday nite, the award winning was really shocking one esp Wayne, I tot it would be LF since he has a large fanbase but deepdown I wanted Wayne to win..so he won last nite, It was great, atleast he deserves it imo.
As for TY, i felt for her, she totally deserves it after all the hard works and etc and the camera was always at Him Law when TY’s name was announced. HIm really cry for TY and yeah..pity him that TY still didn’t acknowledge him.
As for the Supporting actor, i tot it would be power Chan but Koo got it.. Koo even asked Power if he has anything to say before leaving the stage? Koo was certainly a humble man it seems.
Yes, agree with you Funn that the whole stage decorating thing looked ugly and cheap. AOD certainly have better stage than TVB does.
And there are so many glitches during the live show. AOD certainly did better!
She didnt have to thanks Him Law if he did not contribute anything to her career.
Yes glitches from the start. Anyway I do wonder now, just say it wasn’t rigged or half rigged, maybe, just maybe we have overestimated Raymond’s fanbase in terms of tv audience? Maybe Wayne is the true TV king? That maybe we have underestimated Wayne’s fanbase?
Although I could understand the time limit for each winner to say their speech but during the Supporting Actress moment, Dodo kept yelling faster! faster! open the envelope and announce the name already!..I find it a bit rude and etc. The girls (Mandy) and Nancy didn’t even given a chance to express their happiness. Those who really took alot of time are Ng Man Tat and that old guy forgot his name, they really make a long speech before the winner was announced.
Yeah, something about TVB’s stage design and lighting makes the awards show look cheap and garish.
Agree about the AOD show looking better.
i couldn’t have agreed more! i was shocked that Wayne Lai have once again won TVB King for the 3rd time in 4 years. I was also shocked that When Heaven Burns won the best series as it has a lot of criticism and low ratings….could never believe that a low rating series would win best series award. I thought that On Call 36 Hours would have a greater chance of winning!
Him did get nothing. I was laughing when the camera focused on him while Tavia made her grand speech.
Besides the TVB King and The Best series award, i’m really happy with the results. I’m happy for Kenneth, Kate, Mandy, Oscar and Nancy as i think that they deserve this award. I’m happy for them 🙂
The ratings only count the TV one. Many younger audience watch in MyTV. Furthermore, there were quite a lot of campaign for this series in the net.
I don’t think poor for Him. Tavia didn’t mention to Him when she got the award, but who know she also thank you Him in her heart. So true love is the silent love, they only listen to each other by their heart!
Tavia has too much jewelry on, but, a lot of the dresses and jewelry the actresses wore were sponsored. So, perhaps, Tavia has to wear it? I saw her showed of her diamond ring to the press. Maybe it’s a requirement from the sponsors.
Not so fond on Myolie’s dress, but, I like her make up. Suit her overall style very much.
The are dresses I like are
Linda Chung’s
Eliza Sam’s
Fala Chen’s
I know a many felt Linda’s dress who too grandma. I love her dress. She carried the dress well and dress make her look elegant and classy. Hers is my favourite dress of the night.
Kidd,
the dresses and jewelry are sponsored, but they can choose what they want to wear to match their dresses? Or else why is Fala only wearing a ring and earrings, or myolie only wearing a bracelet, it’s because they choose simple sets to match their dress. or they can choose not to wear any, like nancy, because her dress is sparkly?
There was an article on Tavia choosing her jewelry, and of all the sets she was trying on, this one is the biggest and gaudiest, and it doesn’t match with her bling bling getai dress. You can’t account for taste even with all the money in the world.
I’m so happy for Tavia and Kenneth.
I’m calling the ones who said that LF will win because he is the beloved biological son of TVB. Now we all know who is the real biological sons and daughters, LMAO~.
I’m really doubtful if LF will ever win Best Actor. Even with the change in rules this year which was supposed to be in his favour, he still wasn’t able to come through with the award. Poor LF. Nevertheless, still supporting him.
On a side note, congrats to all the winners as they were all deserving!
Because Txb dun want to give him, so simple. I’m now waiting for the commentors who ever said that he is the biological son to reply, lolz. Anytime, when ppl say that he is biological son, can use this year as a reference haha.
“Because Txb dun want to give him, so simple.”
Oh come on! Face the truth! Fans voted and fans voted for Wayne. Perhaps the votes were so overwhelming any rigging of votes wouldn’t be convincing.
Wayne is truly TV King.
LMAO~, if it’s accurate, didn’t you say that LF will win for sure? Face the truth, it’s all the game of Txb like I always said :D. Can’t accept that I’m correct from the beginning? Lolz. However, you have a little of doubts of the vote before, and now you blv them 100%?
Uhm, I’m not talking about Wayne’s acting, dun be too sensitive. I’m talking about who is biological son and is LF a real biological son. If you want to call him real biological son, prove it?
And is LF wins?
“This award has credibility”?
Why Wayne? Why not Moses? Why not Kenneth? Why rig the votes for Wayne?
Ask Txb and ask Wayne, why ask me?
I only ask you that what make LF the biological son and which treatment he has better than others? Or others have better treatment than his?
Funn Lim, I’m waiting for you :D.
agree to Fox….don’t say TVB is favor on Raymond…TVB just use Raymond…I am so sad and mad that TVB did not give the award to Raymond…don’t tell me it is really public voting…it is so many way can change the vote…okay…i am a programming…sigh…so sad…Raymond…we always support you…
Of course Raymond is a biological son. I don’t know what you are trying to get at. Whether or not being a biological son is an advantage is another debate but Raymond is definitely TVB’s biological son. Anyone who started their career through TVB and has a management contract with them are known as “biological”. It’s not an insult or anything. It’s just a label. Tavia, Myolie, Linda, Bosco, Kate, Kenneth, and boatloads of other artistes are also biological.
@Ric: Biological son title has the original meaning as you thought, but the biological son title stuck to LF means: “An actor with management contract with TVB and heaviest promotions and special treatments”.
Hence the names you’ve mentioned fans dun agree to stick the biological son/daughter to them.
Or if you think so, Wayne is also a biological son because he has just signed a management contract with Txb, right before the award in Oct.
Wayne does not count as biological. He left TVB at one point and returned. Kevin would also not count. Biological means the actor started at TVB and remained with them and are promoted by them.
Maybe I’m not a normal fan then. I stick the biological label to all the people I listed before. As Tavia said in her acceptance, Liza told her to sign a management contract. Of course it’s beneficial to be biological. As an actor Raymond has been promoted as much as any other. I don’t think TVB is biased for him. That kind of speech just comes from fans who want to find a reason to dislike someone.
As a singer, Raymond is favored by TVB in their music awards but that’s because the top singers don’t attend TVB’s award anymore and TVB has no other biological artiste to give awards to. I feel Raymond deserved all his JSG awards because without Eason, Hacken, Hins, etc, Raymond is the only choice left.
Wayne and KC are not promoted by Txb, uhm, I guess you are kidding about this only.
For promoted as much as others, I disagree. Refer to my lower post about his Only one treatment that nobody else had.
As a singer, since he is with EEG and being the golden goose according with Leo Koo to EEG and considering the good relationship of Txb and EEG, I also agree that dun give him and Leo then Txb dun have anyone else to give. However it isn’t a special treatment of Txb since it has reasons. For TV, he gains as much as others such as experiences (13 years), noises, high rated series, fans, money, etc. but Txb still dun give him any special treatment or the TV King :D. Comparing him to KC, for example, who is also said a biological son of Txb or 620’s fave, KC has it twice even with low rating UTCOL and he left Txb before that, why can’t and never LF? This year, he is totally white hand :P. Even a pork dun have. Is it’s the sign of promotion in TV field?
Agree to Fox. I feel so disappointed cos I felt so sad for LF. He deserves an award this year as he really puts in effort. I will still support LF.
You mean the rest sleep walked in their roles?
The rest performed so so to me. Nothing amazing or improved. But LF in HAL really gave suprise!
Simple answer is because Raymond is just not good enough or TVB doesn’t really play politics with their awards. You can pick which one.
Neither. If it’s a personal choice or any other occasion, I’d pick the former since I don’t enjoy his acting. In this particular case, I feel Raymond was used. TVB has a past history of awarding those who are “not good enough” anyway AND thinking that they don’t play politics simply isn’t an option.
Not that I’m 100% ruling out the idea that Wayne could’ve won on votes alone; it’s certainly possible. I just find it laughable that everyone’s jumping onto the bandwagon and proclaiming this to be fair. Why so sure?
And i’m also calling out to those who said that the new voting system was valid when it was first implemented, and calling it rigged now because their favs go home empty handed.
From the beginning, we all know it’s rigged.
Oh please, you were so confident that your fav would win and were mocking the rest.
I said that if he dun wins, I’ll call whoever call him biological son out, lolz. And now I do it. Can anyone prove that he is a biological son or loved by Txb?
Let’s me count for you:
– He is the ONLY ONE siu sang with contract with Txb that dun have any series in a year even when he has filmed series.
– He is the ONLY ONE siu sang with contract with Txb that dun have any anniversary series.
– He is the ONLY ONE siu sang with contract with Txb that being hyped for Best actor from 2006 to now and doesn’t win.
So prove the biological son title if you can.
Raymond Lam was in that Moonlight series right? First time that series wasn’t an anniversary series and he played a supporting role. Second time he was the main character along with Ha Yu AND its an anniversary series. That wasn’t THAT long ago.
@Kristy: Moonlight Resonance aired in September and September was never the anni time. Anni time is end November to December now.
Was Kevin or Roger ever in an anniversary series? I can’t remember. But even if they were, neither of them won with an anniversary series. Both of them won with a small budget series.
KC was in BTROC – an anni series as main lead :D.
Roger was in Life made simple (won Best actor for this) and Glittering Days – two anni series.
And being in an anni series is a sign of promotion, no need to win with it. For example, SSSS is a big flop (can’t reach to 30 average) and it still has something because it’s an anni series and it has many promotions.
All of those anni series were filmed after they won their BA awards. It’s only normal for BA to be in anni series. It’s pretty much a tradition.
Don’t make it sound like Raymond Lam hasn’t been promoted by TVB. He’s one of the few that is highly promoted by TVB. Doesn’t he sing, hold concerts and act in movies? Which other sui sang has been given so many opportunities? Maybe Kevin Cheng in the past year or two, but who else? Ron? Bosco? Kenneth? Moses?
First of all, tell me MM won which BA to be in so many anni series like this :P? It’s special treatment. Ron won which BA to be in an anni series? TY won which BA to be in an anni series? Myolie won which BA to be in anni series? It isn’t tradition, it’s treatment.
Ron Ng has a mini concert in 2006, KC has a mini concert in 2007. Check it first. Moses and Kenneth, can they sing? If allow them to release album, how many can they sell? Ron sold about 4000 copies, KC sold 7000 copies. Linda sold 15000 copies in 1.5 months. Myolie sold 15000 copies in 2 months. Bosco 15000 copies in 1.5 months. LF? First one 20000 copies in 3 weeks, second one 60000 copies in 3 weeks, third one 60000 copies in 2 weeks before he opened a concert. And his concert sold out while Ron + KC can’t. If Txb promotes him, why he only can release first album in 2007 when he is with TVB from 1999, means it took him 8 years. Movies, lolz, Yangzi stated that the reason he invited LF to White Snake was because he has so many fans, not because he is a Txb actor :P. If Txb can push any other artists to different fields like LF, they did. Actually they pulled, Bosco, KC, Linda, Ron, Myolie are the names. Only the ppl who are famous as can’t sing like Moses and MM are not pulled to singer field. So wat is the special treatment to LF?
Which kind of promotions can you think of, mind to state out?
Has MM played in another anni series? Pleae remind me. In SSSS, MM is a second lead at most. The series is focused on Damien not MM. Ron Ng is a supporting role in SSSS. Ron has been demoted to supporting roles in the past year or so. Bosco has gotten more chances, but still not as heavily promoted. Can you name someone around Raymond’s age that is as heavily promoted as he is? Moses, Kevin and Wayne are older, they have a different fan base from Raymond Lam.
Are there other FaDans in TVB? If Myolie, Tavia, Linda, Fala or Kate aren’t filming in those anni series, who will film? Nancy is in a lot of anni series, almost every year for a few years already. But she is still a supporting role at best. You think being in an anni series is special treatment? Not to Nancy.
It doesn’t matter if they can sing or not. The point is, they were given a chance to sing. They were promoted to sing. If TVB didn’t promote him, he can wait 28 years and he still won’t be singing. As for the movie, he was lucky TVB allowed him to film the movies. Look at Steven Ma, he wasn’t allowed to because he wasn’t promoted like Raymond Lam.
Moses has BA in the age of LF now :D.
MM was in To grow with love, Born rich, Can’t buy me love, SSSS. 4 in total.
Steven Ma filmed movie and released albums before :D.
The album always can be released by the artists their own but it can sell or not, it’s a matter.
Why among all siusangs, only him dun have anni series? Lolz, you said that there isn’t Fadan in Txb, so there is Siusang? Lolz. Same face MM, Moses, Wayne in recent years for anni series, do you notice?
You can’t deny that Raymond is one of the most promoted tvb artistes among his generation.
He is the youngest recipient of the most favourite male character at 28 for moonlight resonance. And fyi moses was 36 when he won the best actor in 2007.
Also, how did he win the Asia Pacific Male Artist Award in 2010 at TVB JSG awards without releasing a single chinese song? Don’t tell me he was already more popular than leo ku in the asia pacific then? Simple, TVB’s influence.
His movie career kicked off in 2010 with The Jade and the Pearl co starring with Charlene Choi. This movie was co produced by TVB, EEG and Shaw Brothers as a Raymond Lam vehicle. You don’t call this special treatment? Yes, Steven has filmed movies before but has TVB specially produced a movie for any of their artistes? Only michael tse comes to mind and thats riding on the laughing fame.
And for the anni series part, is that really a sign of promotion? 2008 anni series = gem of life and When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West. I won’t comment on GOL but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out if Moonlight Resonance was the more “grand” production compared to WESFOTSW.
At the end of the day, among his generation of kenneth, bosco, ron etc he is definitely promoted.
@Fox: Steven Ma filmed movie and released albums before
Steven filmed movies and released albums way, way before he signed his first tvb management in 2006. So that got nothing to do with TVB.
And please, don’t compare Steven’s situation to Raymond’s. Steven was under promoted if ever unlike Raymond. But am not dismissing the notion that TVB may well have set Raymond up because of contract issue. Sucks for him and his fans.
I guess if LF wins the JSG later on (also with one man one vote system again) with all awards such as Male singer, Best songs, etc., anyone who’ve say that the poll is accurate will say that the JSG result is super fair? LMAO~.
Or I guess ppl will say it’s set up and he is the biological son. Hehe.
Btw, is Sunny a biological son?
Aw, but I felt he could’ve won based on his number of fans alone.
Anyway, where are the cynics who said TVB would still rig the results? Why are so many people ABSOLUTELY adamant that the results are fair?
These questions I’m asking as well.
It’s fine if they say, “I’m happy with the results,” but to claim so and so won “so it must be fair!” Nooo… I don’t buy that.
Heck, I’m not even a LF fan or bitter over the results, but even I think things might be a little suspicious. As I’ve previously stated, the reason why I think TVB decided on the ‘one person one vote’ system is because they’ve been criticised over the years for being biased. So they decided to shut us up by chucking the responsibility to us. And if our favourites don’t win? We don’t have any grounds to accuse TVB of foul play, because they’ve tried to be “fair” and go with the majority. It’ll be our fault for not picking up the phone. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes…
@skinnymocha +1. I’m pretty happy with this year’s winners, but that doesn’t mean my cynicism about TVB goes away. Personally I think the “one person one vote” thing is largely a promotional gimmick and likely some exec’s idea of demonstrating that TVB knows how to use the Internet and social media.
The results are fair. Your favourite might not have won, but very hard to argue against the winners. Might make a case for Best Series, but…
Oh if you’ve seen the static they’ve posted :P. 114k ppl only voted in 10 days, such a huge number.
And a scriptwriter of TVB (for TITS2) said that Wayne told his friend that he’ll definitely win before the result is announced. How can he noe if it’s a real one man one vote?
Even AppleDaily feels weird when they rarely say anything good about LF, lolz.
Wayne told his friend? Hearsay. and he might have meant it as a joke.
Oh please. If Wayne was told by TVB that he was going to be given the BA award, do you think he’d go around telling his friends? Obviously not. Wayne is a lot smarter than that.
I remember the hosts were saying… 5 million?
Yup and he might say the truth.
Only 1.5 mil HKers voted and only 114k voted for Wayne, 110k for TY and they have the most votes (claimed by Txb – truth or not, up to your decision). Ah actually not really 1.5 mil HKers but 1.5 votes. Wonder why Txb dun announce the number of vote for each category but the total votes? And 1.5 mil compare to 68 mil citizens, lolz, Txb award is so unfamous. Last time, the MHK vote has 60k votes in 1 hour to make the system crashed, but in 10 days, the Txb award only has 1.5 mil of votes. Haha, prolly HKers like to see bikini girls than acting – sarcasm.
If this year isn’t one man one vote, maybe the result will be less doubted because all under Txb’s decision, who care 😛
Hong kong does not have 68MIL citizens. You want hk to die from overcrowding? It has 7mil population.
I think HK only has 7 million people in it, not 68 million. Also, it would be HK people and not just votes because the system makes sure you verify a Hong Kong ID # and a HK cell phone number and it sends you back a verification code before the vote gets counted.
Txb announced, the number is around 1.5 mil.
6.8 mil, my mistake. Now it’s about 7 I guess? Max 20% citizen votes while the rating for the series lowest at 24 averaged? And some dun watch TV but watch online on MyTV (they seem to be the ones who voted). And not all the votes are from Hkers because you can vote in all 3 or 1/3 or 2/3, so the number of citizens voted might be around max 17%. Too low for a 60k/h of MHK.
Yup, HKers like bikini girls.
And Wayne said it or not, only him know. The scriptwriter of TITS2 still said so :P. And he has V on weibo, also voted for Damien Lau :P.
So I heard right? Overall votes in was 5 million plus?
I am not saying it is 100% credible, but I already expected Raymond Lam’s fans to go “It is rigged”. So what if it is rigged? It means to TVB it is not his year yet. If it is not rigged? Raymond isn’t that popular on screen.
That’s just all there is to it.
No. Total votes are 1.5 mil, not 5 mil. 1.5 mil for all 3 categories.
If 1.5 mil for Best actor only and Wayne wins with 114k, do you learn maths? 114/1500 = 00.76, aka 7.6%. 10 ppl, 100%-7.6%=92.4%, each 9 other ppl have 10.4% average, more than Wayne, haha.
It isn’t rigged the Txb award, it’s set up :D.
Fox- I don’t think you understood how the voting thing worked. They had to vote in all 3 categories, provide a HK ID #, and a HK cell phone number to vote. There is no other way to vote so they are all citizens unless there are some overseas HK people who got people to help them vote. The Miss HK thing is a totally different situation and there’s not point in comparing the 2 since it’s not going to mean that Raymond would magically win. lol
If anything the votes were probably close and no one seemed to win by a big margin.
Fox
Sigh just because there’s 7mil population doesn’t mean that everyone has a mobile phone to verify the the vote! 7mil population includes includes babies and little kids too. And old folks? Some people who don’t own mobile phones?
You need a hkid and a valid mobile number for your vote to go through.
@AC: I’m comparing the number of votes. I tried to see the voting and no, you don’t need to vote all 3. You can vote 1/3 or 2/3 or 3/4, up to you. Even if it’s all 1.5 mil of citizens, ok, the static is still too small (20% citizen voted, about 17-20% of each categories win). I use MHK vote as a comparison because a small event can have 60k of vote in one hour, why a Txb award with a lot of functions and hypes only can have 20% of citizens at max voted?
And my theory from the beginning that Txb won’t never use the real result of the poll but they’ll use the decision of their own to decide the winners. Hence now my theory is stronger. You can check, from the beginning I said so and I dun change it. Even if LF wins (but he dun), I’ll say that it’s the decision of Txb :D. But it happens now that he isn’t the choice of Txb or Txb loves him as much as you guys often blv. Txb loves others and treats others better than him.
@Nicole: The kids can borrow IDs of their parents to votes :P. Let out the enfants, the 8-10 years old also can use IDs of parents to vote if they are fans already.
Txb series even with a lot of online viewers (on MyTV) can get 24 points average at lowest, how can a voting game that hyped up by Txb a lot can’t get to 24% of citizens to vote for it?
I’m not talking about the HK ID. But the mobile phones. You are telling me ALL kids under 7 have mobile phones? Or all grannies over 80 years old have mobile phones to vote? 7mil is the population census taken this year, but what’s the number who have mobile phones? Say a meager 10% do not have mobile phones which includes the babies and little kids and really geriatric old folks?
So 6.3mil ? And 1.5mil is about 25% of that, and that number is around the average rating of your tvb series?
Do note that the tvb ratings DO include little kids and old folks. They are counted in the ratings.
Mobile phone number can be duplicated with different IDs, Nicole. Did you try to see how it works? Also that home phone number is accepted, just need HK number :D. Even ppl in oversea but has HK IDs can vote :D.
And you might forget that many ppl are having more than 1 phone now.
Counting TV rating, why you dun count young ppl who dun watch TV but online? They seem to be the ppl who voted more than the ones who watch TV, rite? And these ppl are mostly youngsters, how many % of them you think will vote for Wayne :P? However I don’t question about this, I question of how can there are so little of ppl who voted when the award is hyped up so much like this and ppl seems to rally votes from everyone? And do you feel weird that the result is correct to wat Txb planned (said in a tabloid before) but not correct to most of other polls in other means such as weibo, forums, magazines?
My point in short is clear: the result is fixed in prior and the poll is simply a cover.
Sigh, it was already said by tvb thAt you can vote 10000 times with the same mobile phone but different ID but it will count as one vote. It will go through, but it will only count your last vote.
If you vote 100000 times with same ID but different mobile phone, that’s also one vote.
How many people have 10000 ID and 10000 mobile phone numbers?
Some people might have multiple phones but so what? What’s the percentage? not big enough to sway the vote.
Weibo, forum. Facebook, everyone can use multiple accounts. We already have prove of some fans cheating?
But for the real tvb voting, it force you to use one unique hkid and one unique telephone number. Otherwise your vote is not counted. Thus people can’t buy votes.
I remember some people saying that LFs album can sell more than 100k, well how many of his fans buy multiple copies but this year tvb voting is one vote per person, NOT 1000 votes per person.
Haizz Nicole, same phone different IDs will be counted as 2. ID is more important than phone btw. And the phone number is not that hard to find because pay as you go sim is easy to find but ID is harder because ID is issued to a person one time only. I have few HK phone numbers (without sim), do you want? I can present you, lolz but I dun have a HK ID so I didn’t vote. And home phone can be counted as well.
Watever, you can’t deny that the number was so low. And the number of vote to let these 3 wins are also low.
Is it that hard to blv that Txb’s poll isn’t creditable?
For albums, his albums sold more than 120k copies once 😀 but do you expect that all his fans buy albums? 😛 such as the children and the old forks? Uhm you will say that he only has young girls as fans but I can tell you no :P. Wanna see his small 4-5 years old fans? YiuB for example hehe. Wanna see old woman in his concert?
Like albums, some fans can buy more than 1 copy (but I kinda doubt because the only one I know that bought more than 1 copy album for him was Charmaine’s mother – said by Charmaine and oh yeah, it’s an old fan as well) but one fan can borrow more than 1 IDs from parents, siblings, etc. Do you think it’s counted?
No it’s not counted as two. Tvb already said one phone number can only be counted once. Why do you even want to argue against the rules they came up with? Unless you are the one in TVb counting the votes so that’s how you know it can be counted as 2?
That’s why the phone numbers won’t work without a sim cardk. They will send a confirmation code to your phone in order to verify.
It’s like you are trying so hard to say that they are cheating based on the number of votes, but based on hk population and the various regulations in place, the number of votes are very realistic.
Having less than 24% of the population voting isn’t hard to believe. There’s lots of reality shows in the States that has over 10 million viewers watching but they would only garner 1 or 2 millions votes. And that’s including those multiple votes grom twitter, facebook, sms and home phones.
Just because you have 1-2 million people watching tv doesn’t mean they care enough to vote. A lot of people just watch tv to pass time and they don’t care who wins or who didn’t win the BA award.
Besides a lot of people are worried about the security flaws with TVB’s system. A lot of people are still old school and are unable to understand voting online.
if the result are fixed and thus fake so as you said then raymond would be the tv king and not wayne. do you think that tvb will gives millions just only to cover their results and next year spending again millions to cover it?
@Nicole: Well, if you tried, you’ll know. Arguing is pointless.
For HK mags, how do you think? It dun require usename but can vote one only. The most noisy one is AppleDaily and it’s in a news here. I blv you’ve read.
If the MHK dun have 60k votes in 1 hour, maybe I dun feel it’s that hard to blv the number is that low for all the hypes and promotions.
I doubt that Txb’s award has much creditable, echoed Funn Lim’s comment.
Dun compare US and HK Kristy because HK’s biggest TV channel is still Txb and at this moment, it dun has any share of market to anyone else (ATV’s rating is 0).
Cover wat, shu? They dun need to spend much money on an online poll and what it brought to them? Noises, attentions, and all will bring them money. Lolz, interest more than investment, easy to be seen.
Yup I’ve said that if it’s a real poll, I blv LF will win but if Txb involve, I doubt. And now I’m rite :D.
However, my point is that: Txb is using old wine in a new pot. Still their decisions, but in the cover of audience’s choice.
Again, even if LF wins this year, it isn’t the poll but the Txb’s decision. I blv I said it at least 20 times.
http://www.jaynestars.com/news/kate-tsui-and-wayne-lai-to-win-tv-queen-and-tv-king/
Inside news rite for half.
Fox,
Already said even if you try 100000 times, it will all go through, but it will only count as one vote, your latest vote, you can check the instructions or weibo.
So doesn’t matter how many times you try with the same phone number or same Id, it will All go through the system but easy to filter out.
Yes apple daily you can only vote once? But on one computer? I can vote on laptop x2, desktop, work computer, iphone x 2, iPod touch, ipad x 3generations, android.. can you count how many votes that I have? You don’t need one valid hkid and one valid hk mobile phone. And that gives me a lot of votes if I want to bother voting.
MHK has 60K votes in an hour but how many are watching? 30% ratings was high. So about 1.8mil people are watching? but only 60k voted? You tell me how low is that %. You are contradicting yourself. So if 1.8mil people watched I should expect 1.8mil votes according to your logic? Not all people who watch will bother voting.m
So what if it’s the biggest? Does that mean everyone watching tv will vote? Who says they will?
TVB promotes a lot of series and they still flop. Look at the current anni series, they have lots of promotions but the ratings still flop. Just because they promote this awards show doesn’t mean everyone will jump up and vote.
Even with those newspaper voting, only a very small amount of people voted. That shows how much interest people have with these awards. Most people don’t care who wins or loses.
@Nicole: I told you, I did vote to see how it work but I dun have HK ID so I don’t borrow my friend’s to vote because I feel it’s cheating as my friend dun watch Txb.
In one hour 60k ppl voted and the system already crashed. On other hand, Txb’s poll was 10 days. In 10 days, how many citizens can know about it when it has functions and artists ask to vote for them on TV everyday? If the MHK poll is open for 10 days, with 60k ppl in just 1h, how many in total, maybe?
Do you play online vote in AppleDaily and other mags? Different laptops with same IP can’t vote, my dear. Different IPs but same laptop also can’t vote. Unless you go to all your neighbour’s house to ask for password of wifi to vote, you can vote in different means. And it isn’t different to borrow IDs of parents, relatives, friends, neighbours, etc. If you want to cheat, there are many ways to cheat.
Not only me feel weird at the static, HK mags also feel weird. AppleDaily, HK headlines have articles.
Voting is the game of fans and normally, youngsters. That’s why ppl said that it’s a favour to LF, but end up with what :P? Seelais are voting and the youngsters dun? Yay. It’s kind of similar to HKers hyped up to bikini girls than artists :P.
@Kristy: And the anni series has flop rating (SSSS only as a flop, Confidant’s rating felt in the last weeks but still high) but the two winners won with it, ironical?
Fox,
When you use your friends ID to vote, it will go through 100000 times if you vote 100000 times. BUT it will only count as one vote as they will filter out the unique ID. You can check the article or something from earlier from sandy lam or what’s her name. They state it clearly, and it’s easy to filter out, I work with databases All th time.
You should know proxies and.vpns, I can connect to different proxies and vote on different devices. It’s simple if I bother to, but ID and valid mobile number where you need to send verification code is not simple.
I’m not gomma bother replying after this As I’m using iPad and is hard to type :p the numbers of votes are realistic.
@Nicole: Proxy and vnps dun work all the times and not all ppl know about it, that’s all I can say to you, Nicole. If you want to cheat, anyway can cheat. I blv you know about the opt8 incident in AppleDaily poll. Rather than reading Sandy Yu’s comment, you can try the vote yourself to know.
The number is not realistic to a highly promoted event like Txb award poll because even a smaller event like MHK with not many promotions about voting can have more votes. That’s my conclusion.
@Kristy
For example, the Mingpao one only, only LF already 303,044 votes, 3 times more than the number of votes Wayne had announced by Txb. So don’t say that only a very small amount of people voted in the mags’ poll because it makes the number of votes Txb announced even smaller :P.
Where did you get the numbers from? I can only find 160,556 total of people voting for MingPao. That’s the total people of votes, doesn’t mean they voted for the same person.
Fox,
it’s already over. Biological or not biological it is over. Rigged or not it is over! everyone has their own views on the awards of ceremony.
Some people think it is fair.
Some people think it is not.
But you do not need to waste your precious time to convince people on the awards is set up, it rigged, it this it that. You should use your precious time to do some other meaningful works.
For me, I was happy that Wayne won the BA. But i love Kenneth to the max. But I didn’t go convincing people that the whole awards is set up or so on. Rumors saying that Wayne Lai know he will win.. How are you 100% sure? Are you his friend or friends of friends? Seriously I am not bashing you or what. I don’t normally post a long comment here. But the way you reply to those people. I cannot stand it. You might be right with your theory but can I ask you a question? Will you get an award for that? NO! So why bother right?
Just make an end. The awards is over. Over means over. No point arguing it. They won’t do anything anymore now. Just continue watching the new series and wait for next year awards.
Thank you
After reading the full version of the static, I realized that the short version was wrong. TVB announced: “万千星辉颁奖典礼2012直播TVB外事部副总监曾醒明在接受南都记者采访时公布了本次颁奖礼“一人一票”选视帝后的票数，他透露，共有1542922人投票，男主角@黎耀祥Wayne 获得114947票、女主角@楊怡TaviaYeung 获得110795票、《天与地》获得84472票。（南都记者 蔡丽怡）” means 1542922 each category, 114947 for Wayne, 110795 for TY, 84472 for Heaven Burn. Total of about 5 mil votes (reasonable for the hype).
But if it’s like this, Txb dun noe maths. 114947/1542922 = 0.745, mean 7.45% voted for Wayne, TY 7.02%, Heaven Burn 5.5%. Each have 10 nominations, then at least a winner must have 10%??? How can 7.45%, 7.02% and 5.5% win? The announcement of Txb is so… ridiculous. Such a failure.
Are you sure they don’t mean 1542922 votes across all three categories? As in divide by approx. three, so about 500000 per category. The winners would have ~20% vote
@fox, you are totally right fox i believe you now 100% after reading your scientific research. its ok now fox.bravo fox.
@Fox I suspect there’s probably some misreporting going on and 1542922 probably refers to total number of votes across the three categories, rather than the number of voters. (I think TVB released the number of votes instead of saying how many people voted because the number 1.54 million looks more impressive and makes their event look more hyped.)
If 1542922 is really the number of voters then I agree with you that the numbers look fishy.
@Fox – That’s the thing. The MHK poll WAS NOT opened for 10 days. Which means those who were watching the MHK had to vote immediately, hence the 60k in an hour. The TVB poll was going on for a full 10 days. People who wanted to vote could wait until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or the day after that. There was no rush into the voting.
And MHK’s poll wasn’t hyped up, or being said everyday or the girls dun go to rally for vote.
@Fox -So you’re saying TVB purposefully under reported the number of votes they had? Now, who in their right mind would do something like that?
Besides, getting 1.54 million to vote out of 7 million citizens isn’t a small number. That’s 22%. This is not the presidential election. It’s just an entertainment show.
Fox I think you missed Addy’s point in relation to what you said or seemed to be saying inthe chain above
Refer to above. So there are 5 mil of votes, and 7.45%, 7.02% and 5.5% win, even more failed.
Congrats to all the winners!
Chin Ka Lok was one of the presenters for Most Improved so I was scared that it was because he was going to award it to Eliza Sam so I was happy Mandy got it instead. Oscar thanked a lot of people including many artists such as Roger, Moses (I think), Myolie, Bosco, many others.
The most awkward part was when they gave away the Best Supporting awards and they made the top 2 with the most votes come up and read it together. Mandy was super shocked that she was top 2 but it wasn’t as awkward since she already got her award and everyone seemed to know it would go to Nancy. It was super awkward (as a viewer) for Power and Koo Ming Wah to find out the results together but Power had a lot of class when he congratulated Koo Ming Wah.
I loved the Outstanding award recipients because they were unexpected choices and I thought they were all very deserving. I know these are just pork awards but they all got a real trophy and I hope they continue to award 5 per year.
Wayne winning was both shocking and expected at the same time. I think Raymond and Kenneth split the younger vote and a lot of people chose Wayne because they just associate him with being one of the best actors right now. I think the most shocked was Kenneth though since he probably thought it would go to Raymond.
Disappointed that Kenneth didnt win tv king but still congratulations to him! Hurray Oscar and Mandy and tavia … Her hard work really paid off
Unpredictable results. Congratulations to the winners!
omg finally! nancy won best supporting!! every year i hope that she wins but she never gets it…it’s finally her time to shine! and congrats to tavia! not really feeling her hair and necklace though
Who are the best onscreen couple ya?
there’s no such category in the TVB awards. 🙂
Yes!!! I was right Wayne Lai the best actor. Kenneth Ma and Raymond Lam got nothing on Wayne.
When Heaven Burns, the best series?? Said who??? If it was so good, how come none of the cast won any awards? That’s dumb!!! They are trying to keep the producers with the stupid awards.
Any series can win, but When Heaven Burns.
WHB was brilliant and smartly written by the scriptwriters. Alot of people thought it was crap because they do not understand the storyline.
I understood the storyline and everything but I still didn’t think it was that great. lol
I will say that it had a good last episode though.
Ur right AC. We do understand that stupid storyline, but we are smart enough to know that series suck. Hahahha What so brilliant about it?
I hate this sort of comment; not everything’s so “artistic” that we couldn’t get it. Sometimes people read too much into things and give the creators more credit than they deserve.
so everybody get an award? lol…so no loser at all?
i’m happy that Wayne received it but I was really rooting for Damian Lau!
Me sorta also. In that category of everyone in it for me only 2 are serious contenders for BEST ACTOR. Damian is the better performance but his Arthur is not likeable. Wayne is a fantastic actor but The Confidant was to me one of his weakest performance but his character is well liked. Moreover that one scene where he was in jail crying for all the bad karma would have trumped the younger ones. Skills alone, I feel Wayne is deserving although best actor was Damian.
Supporting actor, in that list, about 8 ou t of 10 deserves to win. All are fantastic actor. However Lee Sing Cheung was robbed so he was given bonus outstanding employee whatever award. He can act better than many in that supporting category.
Elena deserves a win but I heard Nancy did very well so I can’t complain.
It is still in the end popularity contest. Skills wise, many don’t belong in those categories.
You know for a small moment I thought what is Charmaine Sheh is proclaimed best actress? I mean HK audiences love her. But of course Tavia was said to have a wide margin and SSSS just ended, still fresh in the minds of audience.
Which is why WHB is shocking to me.
WHB’s win really came out of left field for me, too. I’m happy with the win since I liked the series, but it still seems weird to me. Wayne and Tavia’s wins are sort of predictable, considering they’re both in highly promoted anniversary series and TC’s finale literally aired the day before the awards, makes sense that their performances are fresh in voters’ minds.
WHB is the one that’s out of pattern.
wow~ i thought it was going to be an unfair award~ but i guess it turned out pretty good and fair lol agree with those awards
im happy for wayne, but i was kinda rooting for raymond~
Oh wow, everything was like I predicted, except for the top 2. I’m SHOCKED that Raymond Lam lost to Wayne Lai, which was not a surprise since it’s Wayen! Raymond Lam went home empty handed lol. Wow, he was expected to win, but I guess this voting system is legit, not rigged like all the others. Time will tell though. I’m disappointed that Kate didn’t get best actress, and Kenneth Ma didn’t get best actor. But, at least they each had an honorary award that is something to look back into. I am SO GLAD Koo Ming Hua and Oscar Leung won!!! I was praying for them, and finally they won it, but not only did they win it, they deserved it! Hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard. KEEP FIGHTING. As for Raymond Lam and Kenneth Ma, I know in my heart they will have their shine in the next 3 years. Wayne, 3 awards….you are tied with Gallen Lo now. What’s your next goal, to dethrone him? Most likely. But don’t get greedy, even when your acting has pretty much crushed every single TVB actor/actress. Thats just my 2 cents.
Very fair results this yr!! Everyone that won were well deserved… Can’t help to think of Kenneth’s face when Wayne won tho… Who would’ve thought it’ll be Wayne that surpasses Raymond AND Kenneth… Haha.
And so happy tavia finally won! She was awesome in SSSS..too bad Elena didn’t win best supporting actress for SSSS… Loved her role!
Big congratulations to all the winners! They deserved it:))
The leak list 50 % correct . No one believe Wayne will win BA
http://www.jaynestars.com/news/kate-tsui-and-wayne-lai-to-win-tv-queen-and-tv-king/
I am satisfied with most of the winning beside the best actress and the best supporting actor. For best supporting actor, I was hoping Power Chan to win! Sigh!!! Anyhow, I’m happy for Nancy!
Congrats to all especially to Wayne, the third time TV King winner!
everyone’s talking about the BA, BSA etc, but i think my most favorite part was the “Outstanding Artist Awards given to Chin Ka Lok (錢嘉樂), Benz Hui (許紹雄), Sunny Chan (陳錦鴻), Lee Sing Cheung (李成昌), and Carol Cheng (鄭裕玲).” these artists are amazing actors but they never get recognized for their decades of hard work. the fact that they had no idea that they would even get an award made it all the more touching. congrats to these winners! especially lee sing cheung, who was on the verge of tearing up. recognition and getting that award must of meant so much to him. congrats!!!
I actually want one for La Lok Lam as well.
true finally they were recognized by their hard works and got the awards : ) I have not seen the ceremony but its ok. Happy for them.
Very surprised that TVB’s favorite son LF went home empty handed, haha. What happened to his loyal fans? Realized how average his acting really is hence voted for Wayne instead or his so-called fan base is overvalued?
I still think TVB is behind the scenes fixing the results but want to give the impression of being fair.
Why award LF when he obviously isn’t being loyal i.e only 1 series a year? Perhaps Wayne has promised eternal loyalty, hehe. Whatever the reason surely it’s better to award Wayne since they need his power in the upcoming TV-battle.
Can’t say im disspointed with the result though since Wayne is light yrs infront of LF in terms of acting skills. However his performance in TC was nothing special (Power Chan & Co. were better).
To me Raymond W. in BP was BA, too bad that series is neglected by stupid TVB.
I concur.
Ex,
So I won the bet afterglow :p
Haha, do you have to remind me?
Of course, as I’m waiting for your essay on why you love Raymond lam :p
Now you are being cruel 😛
You want something else instead?
Exoidus,
Prove you are a man of your words!
Rofl, jayne, he’s not a man :p
@Nicole: You’ve checked?
Hehe, oki im trying to buy my way out but if Nicole says no, then ofcourse I will keep my part of the bargain.
200 words right?
Since Jayne And fox are so looking forward for your essay, I guess you really shouldnt let them down! LOL
And it’s 600 words!
Still want to bet on LF for next year? 😛
You sure? I offer 2 concert tickets of your choice! Common go to a LF concert, LOL.
No more betting on that TVB traitor I don’t like losing. Next time you bet on someone 😛
concert tickets? How about air tickets 😛
LOL
even if I choose one to bet on, you still can’t win 😛
@Nicole,
How abt a one way-ticket to outer space 😛 LOL. Perhaps you prefer opera tickets?
Try to bet on one then. Guess I should prepare for the worst, haha
Exoidus,
Hey, tickets to space are like 100k+ you know. LOL
I will bet on someone after I do my calculations. LOL prepare to lose 😛
See, even exoidus agreed with me about the hand behind the scenes.
Agree with you about TVB setting this up…You are one of the Hater that is smart…
I am satisfied with all the results. Nothing shocking happened. All the winners were speculated to be the top picks and personally, every winner was my first or second choice so I found it quite fair. My favorite part was the outstanding artistes part. People can call the award pointless or pork but for long time veterans who never thought they would get any award, it’s quite a big deal. So happy for all of them.
I will never understand why anyone would think TVB rigged the votes. The problem has never been whether TVB would rig the votes to support a certain actor. Discussion was always about who this system would benefit. There’s no point speculating about conspiracy theories. TVB has no incentive to skew votes, they could have just decided it behind closed doors.
Also glad to see that most the awards were voted upon by TVB employees. I feel that is the best way to select winners. Eliminate the politics of executives but keep the professional eye of industry insiders. I hope TVB continues to allow its employees to vote for the award categories.
Congratulations to all!
So Disappointed….please don’t ever say TVB is favor on Raymond…If it is the true, TVB would have give this award to Raymond…
And don’t tell me it is really the public vote…the HK ID can’t be validate…database number can easy be change…yea…not FBI or ICAC will check TVB’s database…so it is just a game…TVB still can give to whoever he want…and He did not give to Raymond…so that mean TVB only calculate $…Raymond only do one drama for him from now on…He is not used for TVB la…Poor Raymond…well…work hard…Raymond…on the big screen and in China…your fans will still love you…Yea…You make more than Kenneth or Wayne…let them get the metal…and you get the more useful metal which is money. Love you.
Agree! Support LF! I hope he wil not be dishearten.
Not trying to start a fan war here but I was reading Felix’s weibo and saw something.
Felix congratulated Nancy and posted this: “如果去年和今年掉轉的話，那我就可以親手將奬頒俾定定！遺憾！唔怕，下次頒最佳女主角俾您！”
Then Sharon replied: “華哥，原來頒獎給我令你遺憾呢！真抱歉！”
Honestly, I can’t believe Sharon would reply something like that. I suppose Felix’s comment really made her upset.
Can you please translate 🙂
First Felix said: If last year and this year (results) were switched, then I would be able to give the award to Nancy! What a regret! It’s okay, next time I’ll award the best actress to you!
Sharon replied: Wah Gor, so giving the award to me is your regret! So sorry!
I didn’t see the comment on Sharon’s weibo though
Thx,
Don’t think Felix meant it that way. He just prefer giving it to Nancy. Still I understand if Sharon feel a little hurt by that comment.
Sorry Felix, you are TVB’s enemy now no chance you will be able to award BA to Nancy.
It’s under the comments section in Felix’s weibo. Sharon didn’t repost on her weibo.
Felix was too insensitive, he could have said those things privately instead of announcing it openly. I feel bad for Sharon.
Ouch.
Well felix isnt known for his straightforward character? It is kinda insensitive
Anybody would be upset with that comment.
CAn you please translate?
I know that Felix just wanted to give an award to his friend but he was being a jerk last year when he gave the award to Sharon too. When he saw the results, he said that Nancy should be the best supporting actress before he awarded it to Sharon. It doesn’t matter if you thought she deserved it or not, but it is a little insensitive to say that especially when they should try and be neutral and it’s someone else’s happy moment.
wth that was so rude to say that and I used to like him.
Am I the only one who doesn’t think Sharon was upset but was just being sarcastic? I mean Felix had worked with Nancy before so of course he would want to congratulate with the award himself! I don’t know, I just don’t see that much of a saltiness in Sharon.
fair or not ?
What a coincident that every-drama have a winner…
Agree with u jjding. I’m happy for everyone who got an award apart from the ‘Best supporting actor’ Power Chan deserves that award anyday!! (TVB, u r so bloody dumb)!! Power, I support u now and will always will..u r great at what u do, don’t let this stupid award get u down. U r a winner in my heart and many others!!
They should give out more awards for Outstanding Artist Awards ppl like, KK Cheung, Power Chan, Ha Yu, Linda Chung, Kevin Cheng, Roger Kwok, Fala Chen, Kenny, Helena Law and everyone else. Hahaha
It would be a nice encouragement for them. TVB, I know ur stingy on money, but don’t be stingy on the awards. They all derseve an award.
And it makes a new Metro Radio award, lolz.
You’re naming a lot of the ones that usually get nominated anyways. the ones that got the award are the ones that NEVER get acknowledged for their hard work. like eric tsang said while giving the award, “people recognize his face but don’t even know his name” (talking about lee sing cheung). so i think they’re more deserving than lets say, kevin cheung, fala, roger…
That’s why I said everyone else should get an award. I didn’t know who Lee Sing Cheung is, until I google his name. His name is also Henry Lee. He definetly deserve an award. It’s long over due. Chung Wong, Angelina Lo, Yu Mo Lin, Louise Lee, Mary Hon, Gigi Wong, Chung King Fei, and so on all deserve an award.
Law Lok Lam, Kwok Fung, Rebecca Chan as well… so many! They deserve their own award ceremony instead of being tacked onto the end of this.
Fala Chen? Heck no.
Yes, many people are deserving of an award, but it becomes a share of porkchop awards if it’s done that way. Why is there only one Best Actor and one Best Actress? Because that makes it special and outstanding!
I’m glad that Tavia and nancy won. Bit
Shocked to see that Wayne won.
Did any media outlet correctly predict or “leak” WHB’s win this year? That was the biggest surprise of the night for me. Really didn’t see it coming.
Well The Confidant had the highest ratings, makes sense Wayne Lai continues to dominate as HK TV King.
really shocked wayne won but i am very happy that he won. if it wasn’t him, kenneth would have been my second choice for best actor.
however, i am happy that kenneth won and next year, maybe he will win best actor for on call 2 so on call 2 better not dissapoint me since sequels usually are pretty poopie.
for series though, i was hoping for on call to win since that was probably one of the best dramas this year in my opinion. oh well, at least on call snagged the majority of the astro awards
Linda Chung didn’t win but she will keep it up until, she will win one or two.
she will next year or the year after. She will. No worries. Everyone will have his/her turn.
TVB Awards will forever be fixed.
Yay I am soo happy for all of them! Most of all Again for Wayne! and Nancy!! YAY!!!
Hurray, “When Heaven Burns” got the Best Drama Series with its lowest viewership rating. It does not make sense. Does it? Anyway I am very glad for the production crew and the artistes.
Personally I think “WHB” was the BEST DRAMA SERIES in 2012 …… best storyline, best dialogues, best acting, best photography, best editing, best scenes, best music, and best production.
I think Charmaine Sheh should have got the “Best Actress” award in “WHB”. Her acting as Hazel Yip was excellent. Unfortunately, she left TVB and, of course, TVB would not give her such a big award
Wow, Wayne Lai got the Best Actor Award in “The Confidant”. Can’t quite believe it? If Wayne could get it, Damian should have got it with his excellent acting. There is absolutely no comparison between Wayne as Li Lianying in “The Confidant” and Damian as Chung Chuk Man in “SSSS” in terms of their acting skills in those two characters.
Well, for Tavia Yeung, not surprised at all for her Best Actress award. TVB wants to promote her badly.
Happy for Nancy Wu for her “Best Supporting Actress” award. Eventually she got it. I think she will be moved up to act 1st lead roles in 2013.
Sorry for Chan Kwok Pong who deserved “Best Supporting Actor”. Koo Ming Wah was good, but not as good as Chan Kwok Pong as Pang Sam Shun.
Happy for Kenneth Ma and Kate Tsui for their “Most Favourite Artistes” awards.
Surprised that Raymond Lam did not even get any award.
Oscar Leung and Mandy Wong deserved their “Most Improved Artistes” awards.
Even with the public voting system, TVB could still do anything if they wished. It might not be 100% fair unless they disclosed the exact numbers of votes publicly.
Raymond Lam only act one series per year…well TVB will not give him such a big award..sigh
So you dont think Tavia deserved the award? I think she does. Peace. : )
Charmaine Sheh acted a lot better than in “When Heaven Burns” than Tavia Yeung in “SSSS”. If “WHB” got Best Drama Series, Charmaine Sheh (her best acting so far in “WHB”) should get Best Actress award.
who knows how many votes wayne got cos we only know how many votes the best actress got not the best actor so once again given the award to wayne was rigged
No, they revealed the vote totals for both. Wayne received 114,947 votes and Tavia 110,795 votes. Total number of people voting for all 3 categories was 1,542,922.
Wayne Lai’s “nice-to-audience” personality helped him a lot in winning the Best Actor award.
His acting skills also helped.
But not in “The Confidant”. Damian Lau’s acting in SSSS was so much better and more detailed than Wayne’s in “TC”.
Not all category, each :D.
I love Yeung Yee! So happy she finally won! and WOW! Congrats WHB Best Drama! Rating wasn’t very good but voting very GOOD!
was so sad and disappoint that Raymond did not get the award…but think deeper…Raymond has decided to go for movies and China for his career…he only will do one drama in TVB…why will TVB still give him the award…TVB is just a business organization…it is not Raymond’s father! Well, as Raymond’s fans…I wish Raymond can do the best in the movie industry and in China…get the award in the movie years later…then it will be better than getting the TVB award…wish you the best…Love you Raymond…
Congrats to Tavia & Wayne! Deserving Wins! Most of the veteran actors/actresses have been looking highly on Tavia to win BA and even the other 4 finalists with her have all mentioned in recent months that Tavia is a great actress that no one can question! Well, I’m however a little disappointed for the supporting awards – Power Chan & Elena Kong did not win the Best Supporting Awards. They both did brilliant portrayals!
Congrats to all the winners! I’m satisfied with everyone who received an award. I was so scared that Eliza was going to win something. I would’ve been so mad! The only thing i disagreed with is the Best supporting actor. I feel that it should’ve been to Power Chan. He did a superb job in The Confidant. I think Koo Ming Wai was wonderful as well, but a big part of it was because the character itself was really likeable and different. I really thought Power’s portrayal of an eunuch was brilliant.
As some people mentioned, I’m surprised that Raymond Lam didn’t win anything. I thought this public voting system would benefit him the most.
I am thoroughly impressed with the new system. At first, I thought Raymond would have won for sure because of his fan base, but I guess the voting system did turn out pretty fair!
I am really happy that Tavia won. She deserves it so much, she worked so hard for the last decade. And I am pretty happy with the favourite character award too!!! I loved Kenneth in On Call 36 and I loved Kate.
I was just surprised that When Heaven Burns won the best series… I didn’t even think people liked it that much.
But nonetheless, I am happy with the results and all the winners deserved it :)!
agreed!
and also she is a good actress not just because she has been working hard.
Totally agreed!
Can’t agree more with 000. Am happy that TY got the best actress and she really deserves this award. Although I hope she can get the favourite character with KM, it is still good to see her winning BA instead. But it is really a shock that When Heaven Burns won best series.
Wayne’s acting is better than KM and LF. I am happy Wayne got the award even though I hope LF or Km win TV king this year.
yup agreed with u! but, my vote is still for Damian if compared to Wayne, hehe
D award ceremony wasn’t glamorous at all n every moment was a rushed job. Bit disappointed on d ladies’ fashion though n Kate did slim down quite a lot, her scapulas sorta more prominent than before! Most elegant ladies for d night were Linda, Tavia n Michelle! N did Fala do something to her hair? Supposed to be short mann!
WHB was a shocking winner I supposed, coz audience reactions were kinda:”huh”
C’mon TVB, Wayne Lai grabbed d BA for TC? Should hv been Damian, well can’t get upset over it for I’m not a qualified voter how I wish TVB made d voting internationally!
Congrats to all n d most deserving winner is Nancy of coz! 🙂
Rigged or not d answer lies with TVB of coz! Theres always d next year anyway hopefully a “resurrected” affair then!
Everyone gets to take home an award. So it’s a win win situation.
One thing certain is Malaysian fans have different taste compared to Hongkies 😀
Still I’m glad Tavia and Mandy won 🙂
Let’s sidetrack a bit abducted talk bout their gowns and tux.
Is it only me or anyone else think that Molie gown is the worst? Love Michelle’s dress though. Classy. And some might not agree with me but I actually find Tavia dress is elegant and her hair put like that looks mature on her but I like it. Like Audrey Hepburn once had a hair style like that.
As for the men, most looks very good looking in their tux. Kenneth looks handsome, same goes to Kevin as well.
But of course, I think they look better at the Astro AOD award earlier

I disagree I think Myolie’s dress was different and daring compared to alot of the other fadans who just simply played it safe. Linda’s dress did not suit her, however the back piece was quite nice. Fala’s dress was pretty but that was pretty much it, there was no surprise element there. The same for Kate. I agree that Tavia did look elegant but I preferred her styling at Astro awards. Nancy dress was another one that I liked.
