Charmaine Sheh and Fala Chen Competing for Best Actress Award?
Focusing on both television series and the music industry this year, Fala Chen is quickly catching up with Charmaine Sheh Si Man for the Best Actress prize! Currently filming in Hengdian with Roger Kwok Chun On, Charmaine praised Fala, “She is a very nice and hard-working girl.”
Was Charmaine concerned that she may not win the 2010 TVB Best Actress Award? “Each year, the awards ceremony takes place. It is unimportant whether I receive awards; I just hope to give a good performance in each series.”
The temperature in Hengdian soared to 39 degrees Celsius earlier. Ten members of the crew grew sick with the cold. Charmaine fell sick as well and recently returned to Hong Kong to see her doctor. Roger Kwok suffered a slight heat stroke as well. Roger said, “It was so hot, I couldn’t stand stably! This is the first time I am shaving my head for a series. Charmaine helped shave my hair; she said it was a lot of fun!”

Jayne: Charmaine will obviously get nominated for Best Actress due to the upcoming broadcast of Can’t Buy Me Love. And Fala’s popularity is increasing each day…. It’s still too early to tell who has the highest chance to win the Best Actress Award yet, but definitely too soon for Fala.
Please don’t let Fala win the Best Actress award. I’m not Charmaine’s fan but Fala CAN’T act.
I think Fala has potential, but she’s still not up the to standard of Best Actress. I doubt Fala will win, but it’s possible that she will be nominated considering the lack of inspiring performance so far.
TVB should promote Fala to movie directors out there. She has a “movie” face. If she can hook herself up with some good directors she may fill in the lack of inspiring actress in HK film industry today. Just like what Kate Tsui is doing.
Fala is no way. I wonder hoe TVB will treat with Jessica.
Maybe Linda Chung will win?
I like Fala, but, I don’t want Fala to win yet. I want her to win when she truly give an awesome performance and everyone will agree that the award she is deserving of the award.
Funn, I don’t think Linda has any remarkable performance this year so far, and imho she’s the same as Fala; they’re not up to *that* level yet 🙂
Interesting how Linda and Fala are not up to that level yet and yet the one they’re supposedly pitted against is in my opinion not up to that level too. Linda is a very good actress, depending on the role. BUt I am just surprised all these talks about Fala, Charmaine but none about Linda?
i hate linda,especially her voice when she is crying.its damn annoying
Fala is improving fast! She won’t win now but she’s surpassing Linda and her popularity is going upwards and Linda going downwards that’s why now people talk more about Fala than Linda.
^ Agreed with Vivien, if given more challenging roles, Fala has the potential to surpass Linda.
Maybe there’s no talk about Linda b/c she has no outstanding performances.
Fala might have a chance of winning since TVB is known for rigging the awards
i hate both of them!!! to me Charmaine didn’t even deserve the last time she won, certainly not 2 of them!!
both of their voices are so annoying to the ear!!
I am really surprise that Fala’s name is mentioned next to Charmaine as a contender to fight against Charmaine. I like Fala a lot and I think she has great potential but not yet. I think she still has a lot of room for development and improvement. Charmaine, never liked her acting and absolutely hate her voice so if she wins again, no comment. Plus, if you win once, that should suffice and give the chance to other people. But really, these days, TVB is really lacking good leading actresses like Jessice, Flora, Kenix, Maggie etc… I want Tavia to win but I don’t think she has any outstanding role this year, so maybe next year. LC, forget it, she has way to go in her acting skill.
why is fala even mentioned? not saying that charmaine is the best actress ever, but fala is nowhere near charmaine’s caliber.
Oh puh-lease. I’m not a fan of either of the aforementioned artists, but to say that Fala CANNOT act is such an ignorant, premature overstatement.
^ Agreed. Fala actually can act better than Linda and Kate Tsui.
I sincerely hope that Fala does not win. She has certainly improved quite a bit since her debut as an actress but is still nowhere near charmaine’s acting skill!
Hate Charmaine! I cannot stand her especially after watching her in forensic hero II and beyond the realm of conscience. I wonder why they don’t mention Jessica, she is pretty good. Fala’s acting improve a lot but not to level to get a best actress. Maybe the most improve….
I hate to say this but Fala dont stand a chance , she may have improve but Best actress eh? i dont even think she’ll make into top 5 lol got a long way to go…
Hate Linda – Most annoying cry. not pretty at all. Fala is cute but she needs to improve her cantonese a little. She can definitely act and she’s very photogenic. Charmaine is pretty and cute also. She doesn’t even look over 30 yrs old. She can act also. I still like her throughout all these years. She has partnered with many male actors and she seems to match every actor very well which means she is good in acting. She makes the movie believable.
Oh and also Hate Kate Tsui..oh pls..her lips are busted. Not to be mean but she can’t act at all. She has this fakeness in her that I can’t explain. She doesn’t make me feel like what she’s feeling in the movie. She thinks she can dance. yeah only compare to some hong kong dancers. If you were to compare her to US dancers on So you think you can dance, or Lady Gaga, Beyonce, she is like a high school dancer doing a talent show. Also, compare to Aaron Kwok, she’s got a long way to go. Even Raymond Lam dances better than her alot.
^^ hahaha…. I’m not a Kate fan, but I don’t dislike her. She’s alright.
Linda Chung??????? HELLL NO. She is NO WHERE near being a good actress. She’s still the same same same from when she first started. No improvements at all.
Charmaine has improved but definitely not ready for best actress either.
Fala has always been a pretty good actress. However, she does not deserve the award YET. Maybe a few more years. 🙂
the only person who deserves best actress is Tavia lol. But i doubt it this year.
Fala, Linda are the most overrated TVB actresses ever! Fala isn’t even that good looking! Nor is Linda.
Fala and Linda are boring to watch but they get really good roles. Soo unfair on the other actresses
Kate Tsui is quite good. She looks a lot pretty these days…. who says money can’t buy you looks, ay?
Tavia Yeung to win? C’mon she’s only good at playing support roles. Her acting in BTROC was so bad and OTT. Can’t believe she won the best actress award for that role.
^
Wrong. Where did you get that Tavia won Best Actress? She only won Best Character. I think she stands out in BTROC and everyone is OTT too in the series and the series is highly rated.
Tavia doesn’t have a good role this year but she deserves to get Best Actress just as Raymond deserves to get Best Actor soon. I wish they get it together.
“I think she stands out in BTROC and everyone is OTT too in the series and the series is highly rated.”
She stands out because she’s the most OTT of the bunch. Anyway, BTROC is an overall bad series despite it’s high ratings. The plot is quite inane.
“Tavia doesn’t have a good role this year but she deserves to get Best Actress just as Raymond deserves to get Best Actor soon. I wish they get it together.
Good that you say ‘soon’ because Raymond and Tavia definitely do not deserve to get Best Actor/Actress based on their performance in MOL. Hope Raymond will do better in GTL.
I have always thought highly of Tavia’s and Raymond’s until BTROC and MOL respective. Don’t know what happen to Raymond. Maybe he’s too busy juggling with his music, movie and tv career that his acting suffers. Don’t know what happen to Tavia as well. Maybe she tried too hard since after MR, the attention of TVB and the media is on her and the expectation of her doing well is higher.
MOL is a bad series which get high ratings because of Ray and Tavia’s popularity. Its not a benchmark for Ray and Tavia’s acting. I’m sure that Ray will stand out a lot more in GTL and in An Uninvited Date. Ray’s getting great reviews from mainland netizens who watched GTL so I’m sure its not another MOL.
Everyone in BTROC is required to be OTT and Tavia’s getting a hard challenge because she has never been a villain before and her Yiu Kam Ling has to gradually change from not evil to evil so its harder to show. Lee Kwok Lun is more OTT than Tavia.
okay, I got it wrong then. Tavia didn’t win the bets actress award for her role in BTROC. But yes the series was really crap but I still don’t think Tavia is a good enough actress.
I’m sure loads of actors have managed to play that kinda role before- going from not evil to evil and managed to do well. Think Gallen Lo, Deric Wan etc.
Fala is improving but i still dont think she is tht good to win the best actress award. but she is surpassing linda and the others
We should not all be shocked about who TVB chooses to give the award to. From what I remember, TVB gives awards to people that don’t even deserve it just because they feel like promoting that particular individual. Therefore, don’t be shocked if Fala does indeed win the award.
charmaine, fala(maybe), tavia, jessica wl be the top 5 contenders for best actress. and if tvb decides to air Uninvited Date b4 the annual awards then Tavia and Raymond may just win the best actress/actor award. We shall see.. I understand UD is catergorized under one of the grand productions this year; so we have to factor-in that too.
when is myolie going to make it to the podium?
come on myolie – brush up the acting skills!!!
too me i think all actress in TVB have their
own unique.to me i say that winning awards
is a happy thing but that is not the main reson . like charmaine say It is unimportant whether I receive awards; I just hope to give a good performance in each series.most actor and actress ACT because they like acting not to WIN awards.i hope that you guys could stop saying bad things to actress because all actress have their own you unique in different way you might not like them but other people do . think what if you were a actress and people are saying that to you how would you feel>
RESPECT FOR ALL PEOPLE AROUND YOU THEN THEY WILL RESPECT YOU !!
im a big fan of charmiane i will supprt her if she wins the adward even if some of you guys dont like her but i will support her . as for fala she is a very nice actress
she acts good too .i like fala she looks cute . it doesnt matter to me who wins or not win at least they try and did their very best

I couldn’t agree more! I always thought very highly of Tavia too and thought she was underrated in TVB. But her recent performance when she is in lead roles shows me that she might not even be lead material. She can be great as supporting – she has proven that – but as lead? No. That’s not to say she cannot improve though. Her acting in both BTROC and MOL were OTT and it was only magnified against both Charmaine and Ray’s dull performances in BTROC and MOL respectively.
I still think Ray is good. He’s doing quite well in GTL, not outstanding, but definitely a whole lot better than MOL. But I definitely fear his singing career keeps him distracted from bringing his A-game. We’ll see in “An Uninvited Date” and the new serie he has coming up with Charmaine – both characters are at least different from the various good boys roles he’s had for a long time. Raymond has always performed better in flawed characters than the perfect ones like his MR and MOL characters.
As for this article itself. Just the usual dose of rumours to hype the awards. I really like Fala and sees a lot of potential in her, but she’s not up to Charmaine’s level (not matter if people dislike Charmaine or not) and she’s definitely not up to the Best Actress award’s level. I think Charmaine has the best chance because CBML is so hyped and it’s been a couple of years since she won. Sheren might have a good chance again fro RB2 but she’s not TVB-contracted and she just won last year. Just like Wayne, I don’t think TVB would give either her or Wayne the awards again. The awards are just as much promotional tools for TVB, and they definitely prefer to use it on their contracted artistes.
Please don’t even get me started on Linda for Best Actress!
Advo,
“I couldn’t agree more! I always thought very highly of Tavia too and thought she was underrated in TVB.

I have been saying that for a very long time. Which was why I was a bit surprised she is considered ratings magnate. Like Joe Ma, I just don’t think she can carry a series on her own. For all my criticisms of Charmaine, Charmaine does and can headline a series.
By the way Linda is a good actress. But not yet Best Actress. Moreover please stop saying Best Actress. It is a popularity award so call it Most Favouirite Leading Actress.
I think Linda still has a lot to improve on. She was bad at the start, but she’s quite decent now. However there’s something about her that makes her not as versatile as Fala Chen. In my opinion their acting is quite at the same level.
Ditto. Tavia was a very good actress, but ever since she started getting lead roles she’s going OTT with her acting. She’s turning into another Myolie Wu. Why do people going for OTT in TVB dramas nowadays? Is it because audience always like OTT arguments which has always garnered top ratings as seen in Moonlight Resonance, Beyond and Heart of Greed?
I believe MOL is Tavia 1st lead role and I thot she did v well in her debut as a lead in MOL; better than Ray in this particular series. I can only say that Ray’s definition of Professor Kingsley is certainly not “in tangent” with the general viewers’ but that’s not to say he cant act. Just that his idea of Professor Kingsley does not gel well wiv viewers at large. BTW what’s OTT?
i meant to say ‘in tandem’ with the general viewers, sigh.. thinking too much of maths today 😉
Tavia’s 1st lead role is Sweetness in the Salt followed by Cupid Stupid.
OTT= over the top
Raymond didn’t need to act in MOL, he just sleepwalking in the series with an impassive face.
MOL is not Tavia’s first leading role. Neither is ‘Sweetness of Salt’. Tavia’s first leading role is in ‘Vigilante in the Mask’ starring opposite Deric Wan. She was also female lead in ‘Fate to Fate’ opposite Frankie Lam.
Sleepwalking? Maybe that’s just his character, sleepwalking? Was he more animated when in love? shouldn’t he be transformed by love?
clamine’s description of Ray in MOL is correct.
I know that Tavia’s first lead roles were not in BTROC/MOL however, it was in those that she really received a lot of attention. Perhaps, she just cannot handle the pressure. Like Funn Lim said, for now, Tavia cannot carry a show. I think the difference between Tavia’s past leading roles and now, is that she really has to carry the show. And Tavia have not proven to me that she can. Her only good performance that I have seen recently was in AFOS and she was a guest star. And to be honest, the character was pretty much crying the whole time, and everyone knows crying is part of Tavia’s strengths.
Regardless of what the award is correctly called, it’s supposed to be the “best actress” award for the year.
Linda is must certainly not up to that level. Quite frankly, I see very little improvement in Linda and considering how low she started, that’s saying quite a lot.
LOL, I don’t know about sleepwalking but his performance was definitely dull. And no, he didn’t seem particular animated by love. Then again, anybody will seem boring beside Tavia’s extremely hyper character. What also struck me in MOL was FungYi’s absolutely lack of chemistry together. For all their fans, you’d think they have insane chemistry together, but not imo. I thought they had even less chemistry than in TOB – where btw, Ray had excellent chemistry with the Mainland girl.
Which makes me wonder, the high ratings for BTROC, is due to which factor? Any particular person or the series generally?
For the life of me, I can’t understand the hype for BTROC, or for that matter, HOG or MR, either. Guess melodramatic and boisterous family feuds are just not my cup of tea. I prefer dramas with subtle dialogues & devious machinations of schemes(WAB)to overt and petty backstabbing with clique dialogues(BTROC). I never did finish watching either BTROC or MOL.
**************
The best actor award was formerly called the My Favorite Actor in a leading role between 1997 -2004 but was retitled to Best Actor in 2005. (My Favorite Actor in a Leading Role本年度我最喜愛的男主角vs Best Actor in a Leading Role 最佳男主角) So technically, Roger Kwok was the first TVB Best Actor in a leading role winner.
Clamine, agree with you that I found HOG and MR to be overly loud. I also dislike how TVB populates some scenes with everyone gathered together (a la Kindred Spirit) and everyone has a one liner, filling up screentime and adding nothing to the over plot. Many of. These scenes occur during dinner time or at work. And the camera zooms in on every character, with the reactions sometimes very forced. TVB has a lot of young artists and the script writers seem to write “filler” roles for them, usually playing the younger sibling with a smart tongue, but otherwise nothing else to do. These artists are usually bad actors and just add “noise.” Yes, some days I am watching TVB with tolerance, rather than entertainment.
TVB probably renamed the award from “Favorite” to “Best Actor” simply because “Best” has more clout and is a better marketing mechanism, regardless of its true selection criteriaI .
The high ratings for BTROC were probably the same reasons as for HOG and MR – the HK audience like those over-the-top melodramatic dramas. Personally, I liked MR well enough but disliked both HOG and BTROC.
BTROC & MOL is successful only b/c of the hypnotic marketing. Agreed on Tavia and I’ve always said that about her. You may be able to learn how to act, how to move, etc. but charisma cannot be learned. That’s what she’s missing, the X-factor.
The “Best” in Best Actor/Actress in TVB is a joke. Just look at Kevin Cheng who actually won the award back in 2006 for one of the lamest TVB series in history (Under the Canopy of Love). Urgh. And then Moses Chan who won in 2007 for Heart of Greed. Double urgh. Do not even get me started on Gigi Lai who won in 2004 for War & Beauty.
For those of you who think Linda can’t act, perhaps you haven’t seen A Journey Called Life?
I thought she was simply another young fa dan (with much better acting skills than Shirley Yeung, Kate Tsui, etc. obviously) until I watched that series. She has a lot of potential as an actress.
