Bosco Wong and Tavia Yeung Win Big at 2013 Starhub TVB Awards
Many Hong Kong celebrities attended Singapore’s Starhub TVB Awards ceremony last night. Triumph in the Skies 2 <衝上雲霄II> was the biggest winner that night when it swept a total of 4 out of the 20 awards, including My Favorite TVB Drama. Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) and Tavia Yeung (楊怡) won the most coveted individual awards, the My Favorite TVB Actor and Actress awards.
Favorite TVB Characters
Organized jointly by Starhub and TVB, the 4th annual awards ceremony recognizes TVB’s artists and programs based on their popularity in Singapore. Other than being voted My Favorite TVB Drama, Triumph in the Skies 2 was also voted the Singapore Media’s Favorite TVB Drama. Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) and Chilam Cheung (張智霖) won the My Favorite TVB Female and Male Character for their roles as siblings in the drama.
Besides Myolie and Chilam, there are 5 other winners each for My Favorite TVB Female and Male Characters. The other 5 Favorite TVB Female characters are Tavia Yeung in Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles <名媛望族>, Niki Chow <周麗淇> in A Change of Heart <好心作怪>, Michelle Yim (米雪) in The Confidant <大太監>, Kate Tsui (徐子珊) in Highs and Lows <雷霆掃毒> and Linda Chung in (鍾嘉欣) Witness Security <護花危情>.
The other 5 Favorite Male Characters are Bosco Wong in Witness Security, Raymond Lam (林峯) in Highs and Lows, Moses Chan (陳豪) in Beauty at War <金枝慾孽II>, Kenneth Ma (馬國明) in Three Kingdoms RPG <回到三國> and Ruco Chan (陳展鵬) in Slow Boat Home <情越海岸線>.
Bosco also shared the My Favorite TVB Onscreen Couple award with Niki for their irresistible onscreen chemistry in A Change of Heart. The Best TVB Female and Male newcomers were awarded to Christine Kuo (苟芸慧) and Jason Chan (陳智燊) respectively.
Hosted by King Kong (李信樵) and Elaine Yiu (姚子羚), the ceremony also gave away awards such as the Everlasting Glow Award which was given to Linda Chung. The Most Dazzling Female Artist award was awarded to Kate Tsui.
Focus on Acting
Because of work, Myolie took an earlier flight to to Singapore and did not share a flight with the rest of her TVB colleagues. When it was speculated that Myolie avoided being on the same flight as ex-boyfriend, Bosco, she replied, “No, it’s been so long! I had work so could only catch a later flight.”
Hong Kong media recently reported that TVB intends to set up its own record company, called Stars Dream Entertainment and intends to sign on its own managed artists as singers. When Myolie was asked if she had been approached, she revealed, “I never heard of it. I personally don’t even whether I want to continue singing because singing takes up a lot of time.” Whether it is the mainland Chinese or Hong Kong markets, she hopes to focus on one area of her career at a time.

It will be good if bosco could win at tvb as well bosco if a pretty good actor it will be nice if bosco gets promoted as tv king this year
your dream is unreasonable! the tvb tv king this year is either kenneth or ruco! they are the one deserving it with their great performance in brother keeper and on call2!
BK hasn’t finished airing yet and THC2 hasn’t even aired yet so what are you talking about?
How is that unreasonable? You think acting 2 people at once is easy? I think Bosco did really well and also hope that he gets promoted as tv king this year too
ruco already got lots of praises after 5 episodes and kenneth won’t disappoint and he will have lots of geat scenes in on call 2 to show his acting chops!
of course francis is great but i’m excluding him because tvb won’t give tv king to outsiders. so that left ruco and kenneth to fight it out.
Yeah but there’s still about 25 episodes to go and how do you know Kenneth have great scenes in that series? It’s unreasonable to say they’ll win untill we seen their performances.
because ruco has always been great all the time and brother keeper will be his breakthrough! and kenneth already show great acting in on call 1 and the trailers of on call2! and he will have lots more emotional moments in this second one which will show his acting! and if you watch the series this year nobody stood out except francis so far but obviously he’s not included in the the tv king race! just like tvb won’t include esther and joey because they want kate to win by hook or by crook!
can’t wait for on call 2!
Again don’t judge until you see the series, can’t judge an actor’s ability based on trailers. Trailers are made to interest you in watching it not determining on whos the best actor. There are a few good performances this year like Raymond in Karma Rider, Bosco in ACOH, and Michael is fine right now with Sniper to name a few.
Bosco is a great actor and extremely popular his role in a change of heart was extremely difficult to play because of bosco good acting skills he made it look easy
And bosco has what it takes to be the next tv king at tvb
don’t make me laugh by saying it’s definitely gonna be either ruco or kenneth.
Look, i love to see them both in dramas but, i don’t think their acting that good as you praise them.
1. i thought kenneth’s role in on call was just overrated. his acting really was only average. he was kinda ‘woody’ it was his character who made him attractive.
2. ruco is a good actor, but to say he definitely is gonna win that award this year, isn’t it a bit early for this. there’s only a few eps out of BK.and his acting hasn’t impressed me yet so what’s your point.
you only see what you want to see.
stop being so childish and attack bosco whenever you have a chance.
I’m saying bosco has a good chance at winning
@LOL
my previous message was a reply to sel_fi_wu’s comment
😉
why can’t great performance be judged from 6 or 7 episodes if it’s great? and mind you keneth was awesome in on call1 last year and his role is more challenging and sad this time! hence why now he’s the front runner for the award! and deservingly so!
Yah i am rooting for Bosco to wins! Even tho i love Kenneth n Ruco n also edwin.
In the ideal world where everything, everyone and every organisation is fair, we all know Ruco is a more than deserving BA winner but in reality, luck and favoritism play a major role. TVB has favorites but Ruco isn’t one of them; so sad for him cos he deserves much better treatment from them.
Bosco has alwiz been a versatile actor! Wish him all the best too!
Can’t believe that Kenneth got an award for his role in 3 kingdom rpg.
weird!
Moses getting a favourite character for BAW is weirder.
totally agree! how can moses role in beauty at war win this! should be francis sam gor in his place!
and why is niki even on the list! nancy should’ve win since her acting and role much better!
rigged!
Agree with Penny; It is also weird that Wayne does not get an award for his role in The Confident and Francis Ng has no award for his role as Sam in Triump in the Sky 2.
evidently chilam has better connection to tvb than overrated wayne and the awesome francis! who’d expect that!
@sel_fi_wu
I don’t think Chilam acted well in TITS2, Francis did a better job. He deserves it more.
Better connection with TVB= Awards
Is that your theory?
yes. why would tvb give the award to some outsider with no good relation with them?
what’s weird about that? kenneth was awesome in 3kingdom and overshadowed raymond lam and tavia who had a bad and stiff performance!
Agreed! Kenneth was so cute and hilarious in Three kingdoms RPG
yes kenneth was awesome in 3 kingdom. moses award is riggged!
Nothing weird with you, just too bad acting to make ppl feel weird.
Kenneth overly exaggerated in that drama. What’s so good about that?
Agree out of the other 2 series he had that year and they picked his worst series to be nominated? Should of gotten it for TC instead, 3K had too many flaws to even consider it as a production.
First of all I’m uncomfortable with Tavia’s face in the photo. She should go easy on the makeup because it’s making her skin look plastic and her eyes scary and unnatural.
I’m happy Ruco is recognized for his brilliant acting in Slow Boat Home! Ruco for tV King this year! All the other candidates suck this year and everyone in T2 are over rated.
Look at the cheekbones!
agree hope ruco or kenneth wins tv king this year! they deserves it!
Perhaps u shud look at ur own picture when flash photo is taken at close-up.
Congrats to all the actors and actresses especially Tavia, Kenneth, and Ruco!!!
Second that :).
NO Francis HAH! Rigged. Christine should not be winning any awards….
And guess who got the BEST NEWCOMER ACTOR/ACTRESS AWARD???
Jason chan and Christine Kuo.. URGGHHH!!
Christine is already SO TOTALLY BAD
Jason..TOTALLY SPEECHLESS!!!
haha agree! also, Christine’s dress was so unflattering, why is she goddess? http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d2FXki3Cbxs/Ukeci3rSt5I/AAAAAAABLxk/S6TuhovS4WM/s1600/news7.jpg
i would not have recognized Christine. that dress doesn’t flatter her waist and just makes her look pregnant.
It’s so weird seeing those two photographed together… until I remembered they’re one of my favourite on-screen couples in recent years. I hope to see them paired up again.
Ruco and Linda walked the red carpet together in white suit and lovely white dress! They both shines!!!!
But OMGOSHHH when I saw Christine Kuo picture..Its like OMGOSSHHH, is that her?!!
Even Aimee who is pregnant, looks better, more in shape than her @@!!
Nikki glows as always!!
HimHim and Mandy look great too!!
But the best dress couple award should be RUCO & LINDA!!!

Yen:
Thanks for the link to view the photos.
OMG ……. I could not recognize Christine Kuo at all if her name was not stated in the photo. She looks so ugllllly!
@Sandcherry
Agree with you!
When I saw her name on the picture, I enlarge it to confirm is it really Christine Kuo @@?!!
Then I read the article, it’s firm it’s her and everyone just shock to see her!
I really wonder what happened to her!
I mean, she still look so slim and lovely in Always and Ever!
And Tiger Club just finish filming not long time ago, she still look good on those pictures.
Then suddenly.. AIYOOOO???
It’s probably just a bad picture, she did not look like that a couple weeks ago.
@Teecee
But according to the article, everyone is shock to see Christine Kuo, and describe her as a pregnant lady.
And from the group picture, u too can see she looks bigger @@
So, it’s not just a bad picture.
Maybe but I’m gonna wait until her next public appearance to see if it’s true. It’s just that 2 weeks ago she was still looking good but anyways it’s kind of superficial to judge her on her weight.
@Teecee
I can’t post the link here @@
U click to YouTube
Type : Christine Kuo in starhub 2013
There is an interview conducted for her award winning.
Her face look so round and meaty. Too bad, can’t look at her body.
Click to this link
A more up close picture of her, she does look bigger in size!!
http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/celebrity/buzz/asia/weighty-issues-at-the-starhub-tvb-awards-2013-1#page=0
She has a little weight on her but that’s fine, it’s better than being anorexic.
Yen:
Thanks for your new link. I had a good look at her. She looked okay up to her neck only. Poor girl …….. she looked like a balloon now.
Yen:
I watched Christine Kuo’s video clip on YouTube as suggested by you. Her face was quite a bit chubbier now. She did not look pretty at all like a goddess in the past.
If she does not lose weight, I doubt she will stay as a goddess from now on. She can act roles like May Chan in “Inbound Troubles”
“If she does not lose weight, I doubt she will stay as a goddess from now on. She can act roles like May Chan in “Inbound Troubles””
That is just mean. That poor woman is half the size of May Chan and May Chan was pretty and cute as well. So she’s a bit chubbier, but look at her arms, her face. She may be chubby but in our world she is considered normal weight. Remember, she is also short. And chubby or not, it does not affect her ability to act (which is non existent) and her beauty (which is still very much in existence). HK and the world is obsessed with skinny women with flat chest aka teenage boys look. She is the only few I see who looks a tad normal. Remember, weight-she can lose. Beauty-natural ones are rare.
Well, it is up to Christine Kuo to lose weight or not if she wants to stay as goddess in TVB. She may be considered normal weight by some readers here, but definitely not as per Hongkong standard.
Is Christine going to be an actress in North America or in Malaysia? Even in Malaysia, she is considered fat as per photo in Starhub TVB Awards Ceremony.
Moreover, Christine Kuo is now “selling” her face and image in TVB, and not her acting skills. Even with excellent acting skills and a chubby face and body, it is extremely hard to stay as 1st line actress. Otherwise, Myolie Wu wouldn’t have to lose her weight rapidly after the filming of “To Grow With Love” 肥田囍事.
If Christine Kuo is a “normal” person, no one will even talk or care about her chubbiness. She can do anything she wants. However, if she wants to be a TVB actress and highly promoted for lead roles, she cannot keep her current weight ……. 150+ lbs. It is just as simple as that!!
As a matter of fact, I think May Chan in “Inbound Troubles” acts better than Christine kuo in any of her drama series. May speaks perfect Cantonese and is very sweet and cute, despite her chubbiness.
No wonder Joyce Cheng is considered fat since Christine is now openly termed fat. Even when she was slim she was target of internet abuse, more so everyone has the perfect reason to shoot her down. I long for the talent like Lydia Shum. Luckily she debuted so much earlier when being fat was not the moot point and not an impediment to her success. If she debuted now, even if she was an all rounder (talent not size), she would have been denied a fair chance at succeeding at anything. In entertainment world chubby girls and fat ladies can still make an impact, as much as ugly girls and ugly guys. It may not be acting. I think Christine has issues which she will soon resolve by taking on an endorsement deal with some slimming agency. As I said, she can slim down. If someone with an ugly face can change that into a pretty and still remain talentless but favoured, more so a fat one.
@Sandcherry
I agree with you.
I too wondering HOW is Christine Kuo looks (body) now considered as NORMAL to even the NORMAL US by some readers here.
This is not voluptuous.
She is ROUND!
Be it for ASEAN or worse, the HOLLYWOOD, her body now is unacceptable to be in the GODDESS category.
Even Hollywood heroines nowadays have such slim waist!
Most of us agree that Christine Kuo is very pretty if she keeps the weight she had when she first entered TVB. We are just arguing if she has to lose weight or not now. If she does, she will redeem her pretty image as a TVB goddess. However, if she does not, she will have to switch to act some other roles.
Lydia Shum was never in pretty-faced roles. She always acted some comedic characters. If Christine Kuo is willing to do same and she has the talents (like Lydia Shum), she may be able to keep her fame and status in TVB.
Christine Kuo, good luck!
Lydia Shum started her acting career as a chubby girl, not as a pretty goddess. People accepted her from day 1 as a chubby and bubbling girl, same with May Chan.
However, Christine Kuo started her career as a Miss Chinese International, not as a chubby girl. It will take people a long time to accept her as a chubby goddess (if there is one in TVB).
Actually I don’t understand why people would still call Christine Kuo as a normal girl as per photo taken in Starhub TVB Awards Ceremony, and not a chubby actress. It is not a sin to be chubby as long as she is healthy and won’t mind her image.
About the same say how US viewers think Christine Hendricks as a goddess when frankly she looks big to me, breasts and all. Maybe the dress is not flattering on Christine but yes, to be a goddess in Asia she needs to be 100 pounds or lesser, whatever her height. I find that depressing.
What happened to her? =/
Agree with you tt Ruco and Linda should win most beautiful or best dressed couple award. Ruco was a picture of manly glam in that black/white suit in a sea of mostly black and Linda looked like an angel. Bosco looked like Cinderella’s footman in that get-up complete with pink socks and black cap, a total epic disastrous fashion fail. Michelle Yim reminded me of the big-headed aliens in Mars Attacks!
Yeahhh!!
Although I’m a fan to both Bosco and Tavia but both look quite disappointing, especially Bosco @@!
Tavia dress and hairstyle look the same when she wins her BA last year!!
But I’m really happy for Bosco winning!
Ever since I watched “Price of Greed” and “Dicey Business”, I am amazed by his acting as I read from articles and interviews that he acted both drama the same time.
But both character in tht two dramas is really like heaven and earth!
He needs to be a cop in Price of Greed and then rushed to act for Dicey Business as someone who is afraid of the outside world! He nailed it!
Yeah! The most outstanding couple for that night is truly Ruco and Linda! They look so charming and lovely!!!
Nikki look radiant as always even with a simple dress!!!
Yea! Both were sooooooooooo stunning in white.
agree chrstine heavy figure was shocking! more shocking than her rigged newcomer award! what happened to her?
disagree on best dressed couple! should be kenneth and myolie who look stunning in elegant black!
Saw her on TV, she was a huge as a whale. For a moment, i thought my TV settings had gone haywire………I’m serious, not joking. Was pretty shocked to see her so big.
What’s the background on these Starhub Awards? A majority of them have “rigged” stamped all over (Christine and Jason???). There’s no Francis, Bobby, or Esther!
Of course rigged and meaning less if based on acting but bosco and tavia are on of the favorite artists at tvb
Agree.
but they’re not no 1 best actings which warranted the awards! period!
It’s organized by StarHub (Singapore’s TV station) and TVB. The my fav awards are voted by fans, the other ones are probably “influenced” by TVB. The dramas included are not the same as for TVB’s anniversary. Always and Ever was not included and some series from last year (such as SSSS and The Confidant) included
most rigged is christine and jason! as if these two even have fans! my foot!
It is popularity vote.
Jayne, you should have posted a full length version of Bosco! The full effect is truly Lol.
yeah it was a LMAO! ROFL! LOL! moment.
Congrats to all winners!!!! Bizarre awards huh!
Honestly these awards are all based on popularity…. It’s not based on their role/acting skills but rather who they are. Like i love Bosco, he shall be best actor….or i love kenneth..just give him an award who cares what drama it is….
giving award based on popularity is so rigged! hope the anniversary award won’t be rigged and be based on votings like last year so that ruco and kenneth can win deservingly!
Pls enlighten me on the difference between winning based on popularity and voting?! isn’t both the same?
you can see that this results here not given to the best actings! that’s why i hope tvb votings will be better and let the deserving tv kings such as ruco or kenneth wins and tv queen such as esther win!
Deservingly? Oh well, it will be rigged as always even if your gods win, Lolz.
If you read it right, they are all Favorite awards, of course its based on popularity because the whole award is based on online voting. So clearly who is popular and they will give the award to who. Plus point is having good relationship with TVB. Surprise to see that Chilam winning an award since he is the only non-TVB contacted artist here
so rigged! this is obviously done using popularity instead of measuring who’s the best performer! how can these two be tv king and queen! obviously michelle is much better actor than tavia and francis is better than bosco! and god look how horrible tavia looks! she looks older than michelle yim!
but the most horrible is christine and jason win! totally rigged! christine look horrible and now already fat for real! that’s not curvy anymore!
but glad that kenneth, chilam, myolie, ruco, wins! their hard work should be paid off! happy for then!
Its been rigged every year, no surprise.
agree. hope tvb anniversary award won’t be rigged so that the deseving ones such as ruco, kenneth, myolie, esther can win the awards!
and if you see the full list kate, raymond and linda winning rigged pork awards. so pathetic.
Wait, your Ma Ming and Ruco even dun have such rigged pork awards. Double pathetic.
And look, you are so proud at the pork awards your gods had. Uhm, mind you that your hated ones all win the Most fave while your gods other than Myolie, none won lolz. Perhaps you should pay less time on internet to find a job and earn money to buy awards for them, then you can be their queen as you always wish LMAO
ma ming and ruco won the favourite role awards, not some totally very rigged made up awards.
LLAO~, you must miss one important thing tat other than the “made up” awards, the name you mentioned also won favourite role awards. Wat make Ma Ming and Ruco different? Uh oh, they only has favourite award together with others and others have some more porks lolz. Pathetic you and your gods.
CHRISTINE KUO looked like she was pregnant at this award show!
agree from the pictures!
ahhh im so happy! Most of my favourites getting award all at once!! :PPP
In my heart, Niki will always be my everlasting glow!! xDD
you must be kidding. niki’s acting is so bad it must be rigged for her to win the award. nancy should’ve win it!
Everyone has their own favourite actress =.=” This award is based on popularity not acting skills…
Joey meng? where is she? 🙁
kicked out so that tavia can win when joey acting is thiusand times better than tavia! rigged rigged
There’s nothing wrong with awarding people based on popularity alone. After all, the award categories are actually called “My Favorite.” If TVB called their awards “favorite” instead of “best,” I wouldn’t have any issues with letting people vote. That being said, the awards still seem off. I have no idea how Moses’ character is more popular than Francis, Wayne, or Michael Miu’s.
OMG christine won an award lol that’s joke. Congratz to every1!
Congrazt to all. I laugh so hard the crazy rant by some cray cray. Tis few top award never state base on acting but votes from fans.So the cray cray rant are baseless and pointless but can see as sour grape. I very happy for Bosco. After underrated so many yesr at last he get award. The only thing I dissapointed is Linda cant get most Favourite couple with Bosco.
^^v
Bosco + Nikki
Bosco + Linda
Both so pretty and looks real good!!!
But hehehe I’m team Nikki!!!
Anyways, congrats to BOSCO!!
Is it just me or did Mandy wore the same dress she did at last years TVB awards?
I’m glad Bosco finally got recognized and it’s deserving for him to win the favorite artiste award.
I’m really surprised by that newcomer awards though like seriously?
Why Chilam didn’t go? It would be nicer if he could go, then they will be pictures of my 2 favourite actor/singer: Raymond Lam & Chilam Cheung.
Love tavia and bosco 🙂
so so happy for them! they look great,hope the can collaborate again soon 😀
Yeah! Congratulations to BoTa!! So happy to see both of them grabbing main Starhub awards together this year 😀
Watched LIVE from starhub and really cursing up and down for the result. All result voted by fans and I’m sure Bosco has advantage having bigger fanclub. He himself also not sure when the MC announced his name.
Shocked that Francis Ng not even in the winner list whereby Moses can snatched for War and Beauty 2. What a strange result but this is reality in entertainment line. You all actually can judge the winner from those confirm coming artistes LOL
oh god.. what happened to bosco?
he’s getting to thin? his head is to big and he looks a bit old in here..
he should gain back more weights!!!!
congrats to bosco!
congrats! tavia yayay soo happy and proud of you
bosco looks like a pimp with that hat and jacket.
You need to see the full photo — with the shorts and the colored socks that match the jacket! Truly LOL. Does he dress himself? Or does he have a stylist? If so, s/he must secretly hate him.
agree no sane man will wear that ugly jacket and hat!
Poor Christine her body was bloated normally if body bloated not due to preg are some things else not functioning well.
Surprise that nobody mentioned about Fala Chen hahaha
CKs leading a sedentary lifestyle I suppose! Wake up CK u r a celebrity mann!!
Tavia looks matronly in that gown and that updo. Linda’s the prettiest and kate’s the sexiest. Myolie looks kinda plump in that billowy gown with so many straps. For guys, the most outstanding and handsome is Ruco. Best looking couple is linda and ruco, hands down.
If you consider myolie plump, what abt chrlstjne??
Very happy for Bosco & Tavia.
Sometimes I feel Bosco is under-rated as an actor- so I’m happy he’s getting some awards. But Singapore is small ya as compared to else where?
YAY CONGRATS 阿怡!!!! BTW, did you see Christine Kuo there she looks extremely plump!!!! OMG what happened to her she even looked bigger than a pregnant women 😮
BOTA looks so good together! i want a new show D:
