1st OCTOBER 2008, WEDNESDAY
17 days.
While I was surfing on the net........(when I'm meant to be studying for economics) I came upon the news of TVB's 41st Anniversary lighting ceremony and of course acocmpanied with the news coverage was the nominatons list! Credits to Wenwipo [ .......My own list =p My Pick]

Best Actor Category
# Kenneth Ma - Survivor's Law II ............Gallen Lo - When a Dog Loves a Cat
# Roger Kwok - D.I.E
# Damian Lau - Catch Me Now ...............Steven Ma - A Journey Called Life
# Frankie Lam - Forensic Heroes II
# Michael Miu - Love Exchange
# Ha Yu - Moonlight Resonance
# Moses Chan - Moonlight Resonance
# Raymond Lam - Moonlight Resonance
# Bobby Au Yeung - Your Class or Mine...............Forensic Heroes
# Kevin Cheng - Last One Standing................Forensic Heroes

IMO: What is Kenneth Ma doing there? Where's Steven Ma :( According to something funny mentioned by < TVB Musings > blogger, the actors in the calendar with Ada of the year will have a chance winning - Steven Ma is not even nominated and I don't have a lasting impression of Michael Miu in Love Exchange. Raymond Lam is definately a favourite although I dont think his role deserves it this year - he actually deserves it more for The Four or The Master of Tai Chi. Sometimes his acting was a bit exagerated in Moonlight. Same as Ha Yu. Nothing brillian about him in Moonlight, I reckon. I wouldn't mind Fung winning but :) Oh, I've always thought Bobby Au Yeung should win something!

Best Actress Category
# Liza Wang - Wars of In-Laws II
# Sonjia Kwok - D.I.E ................ Melissa Ng - The Master of Taichi
# Linda Chung - A Journey Called Life................Tavia Yeung - Moonlight Resonance
# Nancy Sit - The Silver Chamber of Sorrows
# Charmaine Sheh - Forensic Heroes II
# Kate Tsui - Speech of Silence...................Christine Ng - Silver Chambers of Sorrows
# Louise Lee - Moonlight Resonance
# Susanna Kwan - Moonlight Resonance
# Michelle Yim - Moonlight Resonance
# Sheren Tang - Your Class or Mine

IMO: I don't know why Linda and Kate are nominated - not lasting impressions. Oh I guess Linda's role as "Wet mui" in Journey leaves a good impression - but I dont like the transition from bad to good - it was such a smooooth and immediate transition, suddenly from swearing and popping pills, to caring and crying...that's funny. Michelle Yim - I want her to win, and she deserves to win, nothing else to be said.

Most Improved Female Artist
# Tavia Yeung......................Fala Chen - Moonlight Resonance
# Toby Leung...............Natalie Tong - The Seventh Day
# Nancy Wu
# Selina Li
# Sharon Chan

IMO: Other than a nomination for Tavia Yeung - I think this list is a pretty solid one. Such a shame that these girls are not even being compared to Bernice Liu (I don't her acting is good anyway). Nancy Wu - I like her and her acting is solid. Her popularity is also rising recently because of Strictly Come Dancing 2. Sharon Chan is also good, but I think Nancy deserves it more. Tavia! This is the funniest nomination, she said herself that she felt it wa s"Weird" too LOL! But I have a feeling that this might be TVB's "share of a pizza" for Tavia Yeung since she wasnt nominated as Best Actress or Favourite Female Role! I seriously hope she doesn't get this - it's weird! Tavia was never heavily promoted by TVB and has never really had a lead role in a series - Face to Fate you may say? I didn't even watch that series myself! Even Linda has like 3 or 4 lead roles now ...and Tavia's first lead role is acually the one with Steven Ma which will air next year. I'm surprised TVB didnt nominate Fala Chen - she deserves it more. I also think it's quite funny how Suki Chiu isn't there!

Most Improved Male Artist
# Wong Cho Lam
# Johnson Lee
# Tsui Wing
# Derek Kwok
# Oscar Leung ….. Jack Wu – Silver Chamber of Sorrows

IMO: I don't know who these people are except for the first guy - I find him annoying lol. I was disapointed by TVB's winner for this category last year and I hope I won't be again but it's pretty obvious who's going to win ... I think I might have an idea who Derek Kwok is. Recently his popularity has risen a little - War of In Laws 2 I think? Maybe he deserves this except he's like 40! That's funny.

My Favourite Male Character Role
# Kenneth Ma - Survior's Law II
# Bosco Wong - Wars of In-Laws II
# Roger Kwok - D.I.E
# Derek Kwok - D.I.E
# Michael Tse - The Money-Maker Recipe
# Ha Yu - Moonlight Resonance
# Raymond Lam - Moonlight Resonance
# Sunny Chan - Legend of the Demigods
# Ron Ng - The Four
# Kevin Cheng - Last One Standing............... The Seventh Day

IMO: If you ask me who, other than Fung, I'd say Kenneth Ma or Ha Yu. Kevin Cheng is scary in the new series! But I think people liked Roger Kwok in D.I.E.

My Favourite Female Character Role
# Charmaine Sheh - Word Twisters' Adventures .................Tavia Yeung - Moonlight Resonance
# Liza Wang - Wars of In-Laws II ............ Niki Chow - The Seventh Day
# Myolie Wu - Wars of In-Laws II
# Yuen Siu Yee - D.I.E.....................Nancy Wu - The Silver Chambers of Sorrow
# Christine Ng - The Silver Chamber of Sorrows
# Kiki Sheung - The Money-Maker Recipe
# Louise Lee - Moonlight Resonance
# Susanna Kwan - Moonlight Resonance
# Fala Chen - Moonlight Resonance # Linda Chung - Legend of the Demigods.................. A Journey Called Life

IMO: If I were to add Tavia's character from Moonlight, I'd delete Charmaine Sheh, Kiki Sheung or Yuen Siu Yee. I liked Fala's character, but not over Tavia's, so I root for Christine Ng (highly unlikely) or Myolie Wu. Maybe, since she lost out on the biggest slice of pizza to Charmaine Sheh last year.

Best Supporting Actress
# Joyce Tang (War of In-Laws 2)
# Bernice Liu (Wasabi Mon Amour)
# Sharon Chan (Catch Me Now)
# Nancy Wu (The Silver Chamber of Sorrow)
# Claire Yiu ( Speech of Silence )
# Krystal Tin (Love exchange)
# Lei Heung Kam (Moonlight Resonance)
# Tavia Yeung (Moonlight Resonance)
# Fala Chen (Moonlight Resonance)
# Kate Tsui (Moonlight Resonance)

IMO: TAVIA YEUNG ALL THE WAY! Joyce Tang is acceptable.

I don't know why there is no list for Bets Supporting Actor! I'm jus disapointed that tavia Yeung is excluded from the share of two biggest slice of pizza's. TVB just doesnt like her. As for Best Series, there's no nomination thing either - but obviously it's Moonlight Resonance. Moonlight will win so many awards this year - yet again. This year, Moonlight Resonance has overshadowed the variety of series - 2008 wasn't the best year for good series. However, I know Moonlight, D.I.E, Catch Me Now and Silver Chambers were highly rated. Can't wait til the anniversary - November 15th for awards and 19th for celebration - I'll be done with the stupid thing called HSC by then.
