Dayo Wong and Kristal Tin Win TV King and TV Queen at 2013 TVB Anniversary Awards

TVB delivered surprising, but satisfying results at this year’s Anniversary Awards, which concluded on December 16. Dayo Wong (黃子華) and Kristal Tin (田蕊妮) were named TV King and TV Queen, beating hot favorites Chilam Cheung (張智霖) and Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣).

In past years, the Hong Kong media often correctly leaked the list of winners prior to the presentation awards. This year, the majority of the winners were “dark horse” candidates since they were not highly publicized nominees.

2013 TVB Anniversary Awards Kristal Tin 3Kristal Tin won Best Actress and Most Popular Female Character awards for her performance in Brother’s Keeper <巨輪>. Although Kristal’s acting is highly acclaimed and she already received the Best Actress nod from peers earlier at the TVB Anniversary Gala, the media speculated that TVB would instead recognize Linda Chung, who is more highly promoted. Kristal received 100,614 votes to help her win the Most Popular Female Character award, and she cried emotionally over her double victory. Linda hugged Kristal tightly to congratulate her win.

Absent from the awards ceremony, Dayo was shocked when MC Carol Cheng (鄭裕玲) called to announce his victory. Since this year’s Best Actor and Best Actress awards were chosen based on a combination of votes from the public and a professional panel of judges, Dayo defeated Chilam Cheung, who had already won TV King in Malaysia through audience votes. 

Receiving 77,948 votes for the Most Popular Male Character Award, Chilam appeared disappointed that the Best Actor award eluded his grasp. In his acceptance speech, Chilam said, “Does TVB not like me? Is it only possible to win the award through popular votes? Biological children are lovable, but when appearing at the necessary and right time, loyal children are very important too!”

2013 TVB Anniversary Awards Eliza Sam Vincent WongPutting in memorable performances since she joined TVB in 2010, Elena Kong (江美儀) won Best Supporting Actress and hugged Triumph in the Skies 2 co-star, Kenneth Ma, excitedly. Seasoned comedian, Benz Hui (許紹雄), turned out to be this year’s dark horse winner for Best Supporting Actor.

Although still struggling to perfect her Cantonese, Eliza Sam’s (岑麗香) raw talent and charisma helped her snag the Most Improved Actress award over leading competitor Priscilla Wong (黃翠如). Working his way up from minor roles to greater prominence, Vincent Wong (王浩信) demonstrated his versatility this year and won the Most Improved Actor award. In his acceptance speech, Vincent thanked his wife, Yoyo Chen (陳自瑤), and former co-stars Damian Lau (劉松仁) and Susan Tse (謝雪心) for mentoring him.

  1. Great one!!!
    But how I hope Ruco to win instead of Chilam xD
    Anyways, CONGRATS!!!
    Love all winners especially DAYO, BENZ HUI and ELENA KONG!!!

    1. and yup KRISTAL TIN and VINCENT!!
      THEY REALLY DESERVES IT!!!
      Especially the veteran BENZ!!! He’s been great!!!
      Congrats uncle BENZ!!!

      1. Ditto! yay for all of them, especially for all the veteran winners, they should never be too old to be recognized! Hooray for Kristal!

      2. @Lol
        Yeah!! Agree!! This will give hopes to other veterans that acted really well that when they doesn’t lose hope and continue with their brilliant acting, they too still be noticed!!
        I’m truly happy for Uncle Benz!!!
        Watched him in so many dramas and he is so good in all of it and YEAHHHH FINALLY!!!!

      1. Having played with video ridnrceog on the Samsung Omnia and a couple of other devices in the last few days, one of the surprises of the century is the fact that the Omnia produces comparatively poorer video than one would have expected from a 5mp device.The audio reproduction is just bad and that was why I kept the Omnia. Anyone interested in buying it off me for about N55, 000 only? Current market price is about N75, 000 to N80,000.

  2. What the hell! dayo! R u kidding me! Chilam abandoned a HKD500,000 event in china to attend the awards nitr and ended with a whimper! TVB playing him! Chi ma kan

    1. Serves him right for being so arrogant. Anyway, he doesnt’t deserive it in the first place. Ruco should be the one to win the BA Award.

    2. I can name two other who deserves the award more than him if he actually won Best Actor, Ruco AND Francis and neither won and neither complained. And he got the Fan favourite award so what’s to complain? Dayo deserves it.

      1. Agreed! Ruco definitely deserves it but since he’s new, I guess he still has plenty of chances. Francis is better than Chilam too, in my opinion. Dayo deserves the award. He’s acting is very natural, and its really rare to see a COMEDY get an award. Cause seriously, its usually drama and epic drama and more drama that gets the awards.
        And its fun and refreshing to see winners This year, because they were REALLY capable, like Benz and Elena and ESPECIALLY Kristal.
        Sad that Inbound Troubles did not get Best Drama though, because I personally prefer it over TITS2. Both are great, though.

    3. It felt so good to see Dayo Wong win best actor. Chilam is simply too arrogant which was fully shown in his acceptance speech for Most Popular Male Character. The way he speaks is as if he alone is bigger than the entire tvb company itself. Yes, he rejected the HKD500,00 event in china but it is still to his own advantage. Reason being if tvb were as spineless as to let him get the best actor award, his market value will skyrocket and the HKD500,000 which he rejected will be nothing. Chilam deserves it. The outcome of the results were great!

      1. Support! Support! Hope his arrogance will lead to his downfall.

  3. I always like chilam but his speech sounded so arrogan….always thought he was a humble person but I feel like the popularity has gotten into him

      1. he was just speaking his mind. i had the exact same sentiments as him. i was sure he’d win even though i was rooting for kenneth.

    1. I agree. Not saying TVB is without its flaws, but Chilam managed to somewhat revive his lukewarm career thanks to this drama. He should be thankful for all the new endorsement deals and appearance fees resulting from this spike in popularity. It’s a win-win situation for TVB and these external artistes to collaborate. No one got the shorter end of the stick. Francis Ng didn’t even care for the awards, which, imo, is so much cooler than Chilam.

      1. I watched the awards live on television and when Francis’ face appeared on the cameras, he was so tensed and nervous. I highly doubt that he doesn’t care about winning it.

      2. @Ken,
        I don’t know why Francis always looks so awkward on Hong Kong tv programs. Either he thinks it’s cool to look awkward or he really is uncomfortable with such award ceremonies. Anyway, he mentioned on his weibo that he has finally paid his debt by appearing on tv. I thought that wasn’t a nice thing to say…but guess he was being honest.

      3. @ken
        who wouldn’t get nervous, the moment Francis appeared, all eyes on him. i was glad that at least he showed up.. a gesture signifying that he respected the event eventhough he didn’t really care about winning 🙂

      4. i don’t think ‘he thinks it’s cool to look awkward’,
        a lot of times Francis mentioned in interviews saying that he dislikes, and if can prefer not to attend these sorts of events because he’s always been showered with random questions he didn’t know how to reply … and if his answers being interpreted wrongly, the media would make things up

    2. i really miss your magic! it’s more than a year that had psaesd the last time you had your magic special SIMPLY MAGIC at AXN. when will be your next special? please do more specials for your fans who can not watch your live performance. am looking forward for it. miss you! have a blissful year ahead!

    1. Chilam is not arrogance by his speech.
      He just wanted to pointed it out that (indrectly to tvb tat not necessary biological son only can hv awards)

      When TVB is in trouble, the non biological tvb son is out to push up the rating thus their’s sincerity shl taken inconsideration

      1. Thx stephy. Now I understand! And can go to bed knowing my Captain Cool is still cool! 🙂

      2. You wrong lar. He actually meant suppose he is the biological son of tvb and TVB is his parents, but even own parents dont support him, but luckily still got outside brothers and sisters who support him when he needed help which is the viewers so he could get favourite award.

      3. @stephy: Well said!
        Didn’t know there are so many haters here just wait around for this opportunity to attack Chilam.

      4. Exactly…. Chilam is not an arrogant person. He just didn’t put his sentences correctly only…

    2. @stephy: I feel the same way as you. I think he’s trying to say that TVB not biased by awarding only to biological sons

      1. Then I do feel he puts it in the wrong way. The 1st part was meant to be funny but sounded sarcastic. 2nd part sounds like he feels he is saving TVB and deserves the recognition he did not get. 3rd part was ok, he probably means fans voting gave him the award that TVB did not give him.

      2. Maybe he didn’t put it in the best of ways, but I don’t feel he’s an arrogant person.

      3. He’s not friendly either. He always gives me an air he is diva ish.

      4. Rating down biological cant help to boost d rating.

        Invites non biological, immediately results proven.

        If non biogical did not wining any awards, I guess txb should go back reschooling.

  4. I remember long ago when Carol cried, because Dayo lost the award to Bobby (I think?). This was way back from War of the Genders. It would have been nice to see Dayo there and Carol’s reaction.

    1. Carol cried? I guess not… Both Dayo and Carol were not present at 2000’s award ceremony because they and the whole crew of their drama were performing a theater version of ‘War of Genders’ at some audi somewhere else in HK. Carol received best actress and there was even a live broadcast from there when they were given out the BA award in the studio.

    2. No, it was an interview later on that night. I remember watching it on some entertainment news program. Probably 全線大搜查. I distinctly remember Carol getting very teary-eyed and Dayo having to comfort her instead.

    3. “It would have been nice to see Dayo there and Carol’s reaction.”

      I mean this year since Dayo only made a phone call.

    4. a shocking list of results…
      Francis came halfway through the ceremony and got nothing was seriously jaw-dropping. disappointed that the award was given to Dayo, because he don’t seem to care about it! when Carol called him he was in a state of oh… ok… what’s the award?

      i was expecting Esther or Ada to be in top5 for best actress but…. anyway Kristal winning is deserving enough. (i hated the ultra-sad background music during her speech. can’t they do away with background music??? tvb’s award ceremony is the first i see that plays background music during acceptance speech. so rude and off!)

      biggest loser: Linda or Edwin?

      1. Linda or Edwin? Neither. Edwin is not there yet to win the award and as for Linda, she should win it for a better role.

        “disappointed that the award was given to Dayo, because he don’t seem to care about it! ”

        That is not the best standard on giving awards. Awards are in recognition of effort and best effort so to speak. Dayo was shocked, stunned hence his reaction and he was funny. He appreciated it except he was ambushed into giving a statement at a second’s notice. I thought he did very well. The fact that he didn’t know how the votes are tabulated and he said it is fair shows he cares not for awards or recognition. I kinda like that sort of attitude. I am sure there will be interviews later when he can give proper response.

        The ceremony seems poorly timed and managed.

      2. maybe the bigger loser of the night should go to Myolie Wu who can’t get to Top 5,

      3. As she sits right in front,after announce the top 5 she give an embarrassed smile

      4. I think of Linda. She looked disappointed when Kristal’s name was announced. And she looked disappointed all after. Edwin wasn’t hyped up as much as Linda and Chilam, he knows his time later.

        As for Linda, the most hurtful thing might be the new long contract she signed :P.

    1. Boy, was I devastated at the results. Im not gonna watch Kristals next drama Cos I was rooting for either kenta or chilam and Linda and the appalling results that Kristal won shocked me._.

    2. For your information no one from The Hippocratic Crush II win anything

      1. Ken, yes she acted THC 2 but Eliza not only from THC 2, her performance also based from other 3 series

    1. san diego could not. I guess even for a metropolitan city they shloud balance their budgets. Apparently the city of San Diego relied mostly on the federal funding to survive I remember there is a naval base right at the port But according to Second-largest city in California and 46th largest city in the Americas. Located along the Pacific Ocean on the west coast of the United States, San Diego has a population of 1,279,329 (July 2008 estimate). San Diego is the fifth-wealthiest city in the United States.[5] San Diego’s top four industries are manufacturing, defense, tourism, and agriculture.San Diego’s economy is largely composed of agriculture, biotechnology/biosciences, computer sciences, electronics manufacturing, defense-related manufacturing, financial and business services, ship-repair, ship-construction, software development, telecommunications, wireless research, and tourism. As for HK, yes Exile U are correct HK does not contribute any tax revenue to central govt in beijing. 但中央一定會撐香港 英國人做到的 中國人一定做得到 所以香港人相信撬埋雙手 由中國給養就夠了

  5. Really surprised at Dayo’s win. When I saw Francis there, I thought for sure he would get Best Actor. Only Francis and Kate guessed Dayo would win

  6. Oh wow, this is surely surprising for the BA awards, but I am happy for everyone who won! They really deserved their awards. Though, I would have to say I believe Grace Wong should have gotten most improved.I loved how they gave oustanding actors to those veterans who were never really main lead, but were always there to act for TVB. That was a great gesture! 🙂

  7. Dayo’s drama is not up to his previous dramas tbh. I thought Francis would get it when he suddenly appeared on the screen, if you’ve seen his weibo, he stated that he appeared at the ceremony to pay his ‘debts’ something like that, that sounds awful for him, as if TVB is trying to pull ratings or whatsoever by getting him there.
    And as for Kristal, both of the important awards? Seriously? She’s the outstanding one this year no doubt, but totally not expecting her to get both of them. I’d have given to Tavia, her roles were not popular but she acted really well. I used to not like her in Heart of Greed but dang she can act.

    1. Tavia ? , next year 2014 she will be seminar to Myolie Wu who this year 2013 can’t even get to top 5. Fala no longer TVB , top 5

      1. Different situation. Myolie is under Tommy Leung’s side and gosh know Tommy Leung to leave Txb in 2014. His ppl will surpass bad treatments sooner or later.

  8. i am shocked at best actor/actress:

    dayo was such a dark horse. my husband voted for him but it was kind of a jokey way (last year he voted for joe ma!). i haven’t really watched prime lady so really can’t comment on his acting but from the snippets i’ve seen, he doesn’t seem to act differently to his stand up comedies… is it really acting?
    kristal… i didn’t watch brother’s keeper neither. i just know her character outshone linda’s… but imo, i don’t think she is an appealing actress at all. she got lucky with her role. it was a breakout. but in her other leading roles, her acting is so bland.
    i’m also disappointed benz won best supporting. i know he is a great actor but when he won one of the outstanding awards last year, he said in an interview he felt nothing about winning, so i rather someone who would actually be grateful for the award to have won…

    anyway, still shocked. even more shocked than last year…

    1. lol,you havent seen my prime lady and brothers keeper and you are shocked who the best actor and actress are???
      kristal definately deserve it but i doubt about dayo,because i think ruco or francis is better this year.

      1. Took the words right out of my mouth. Ruco/Francis were robbed. Dayo doesn’t act, he just reads the script. That’s TVB for ya … corrupt monopoly.

      2. Of course Dayo doesn’t act. He is a natural. He is not some dramatic actor but very few can do what he does. Bounty Lady without him will be a definite fail. Only one other who can replace him and no amount of money that TVB offers will he ever come back. Stephen Chow.

      3. If Dayo doesn’t “act”, then he doesn’t deserve the “Best Actor” award.

      4. “If Dayo doesn’t “act”, then he doesn’t deserve the “Best Actor” award”

        Huh? Give best actor award to the one you can see acting very consciously? That’s bad acting. Francis, Ruco and Dayo all deserves the award and either of the 3 winning is great news. Dayo is the deserving TV King for his ability to do his brand of comedy, act and bring in ratings.

      5. Dayo acting is so natural when he talks, he can laugh between his talking and he look so funny

      6. I agree with Funn. Acting may be subjective, but I think most of us would agree that a good actor is one who is able to bring his character alive so well that he comes across as ‘natural’ without looking forced or rehearsed – when we say that an actor is ‘convincing’ in his role, isn’t that what we mean? Based on the above, I feel that Dayo definitely deserved his TV King win (though of course I would have been fine with Francis winning as well because his performance was also outstanding).

        Oh and one more thing….to Funn’s point – in my opinion, the VALUE of an actor is in whether others would be able to do his role. Would Bounty Lady be the same without Dayo? Would TITS II be the same without Francis? Both Dayo and Francis are ‘irreplaceable’ because of their skill and talent – to me, that’s why both of them were the most deserving for TV King this year.

      7. I agree with llwy12. Both Francis and Dayo carried their respective series and are irreplaceble. Without them, the “spirit” of their series TITS2 and MBL would be lost, so to speak, as they are the heart and soul of their character driven dramas. Therefore they are truly worthy as TV kings.

  9. I like Chilam’s speech. It’s the truth and it’s how Raymond Lam was treated last year. Both were taken a ride by TVB.

    Anyway, congrate all the winners. They all well deserve.

  10. Wow! No rigging I suppose! Results almost consistent with my predictions except for Dayo Wong win…I m disappointed Francis did not win….

  11. Dayo, Kristal, Benz and Elena Winning? This is one of those years where you can say they are all deserving winners. Maybe the half audience half panel criteria isn’t so bad after all.

  12. Halfway through the awards, francis showed up. And I really thought he’d win the best actor award taking into consideration that despite not being able to be there the whole time, he nevertheless showed up. Hehe..

  13. Honestly, I didn’t expect Elena Kong to win BSA or Kristal Tin to win BA, and these already were the more predictable major awards of the night.
    Dayo Wong and Benz Hui was completely unexpected. Kristal Tin’s double win was also very very unexpected.

    But I’m so happy with the results this year!! Especially Elena Kong, Kristal Tin and Benz Hui. I’ve rooted for Elena Kong to win BSA every year since 2010 in BKNP, when I felt she was robbed. Finally some recognition that she deserves!!

    Kristal Tin, I’m so so surprised that she bagged both awards. I thought she would get Favourite Character, but BA would go to Linda Chung. I was already so happy when she got a BA, but the Favourite Character :O

    I was already shellshocked when Kristal Tin got her BA after Elena Kong got her BSA (because so many people said they won’t award 2 ex ATV actresses in one night). Just when I thought I couldn’t be more shellshocked, she gets a double.

    1. @xueling: LOL…well, that’s why some media outlets are saying that the biggest ‘winner’ of the night was actually ATV (which I guess there is some truth to it). Sort of reminds of that HKFA ceremony a few years ago when almost all the winners for the major awards originally came from ATV (it was the year Paw Hee Ching and Nick Cheung won Best Actress and Actor).

      I’m happy with the overall results though (for the most part — disagree with some but in the larger scheme of things, doesn’t matter as much).

    2. When you think about it, a lot of talented actors and actresses came from ATV, including Esther Kwan, Joey Meng, Elena Kong, Kristal Tin and Nick Cheung. While ATV could not compete with TVB in financial terms and did not have the capacity to promote their artistes at the level that TVB does, they had a stable of good talents. Didn’t Kent Cheung come from ATV as well?

      1. I know! And I think if you go even further back to the Rediffusion Television days, there are even more people that come from there.
        I think Kent Cheng did work for ATV at some point in time, because I distinctly remember him as Fei Mao (Forrest Cat), which definitely was an ATV show. I’m not sure if he started in TVB though, he might have.
        I do think ATV has very talented people within its ranks (a bunch of tvb producers do come from there), so I think it’s a failure on the part of the management rather than the people making up ATV.

      2. You forgot Ruco , he was from ATV too and this man has some serious acting chops!

  14. Except for Best Drama, I am happy with the rest. Dayo wasn’t shocked; he was just stunned and his segment was the funniest. Kristal was funny too as she cried from start to end.

    ruco it seems is not as popular with the audiences and peers as we want him to me. By the way awful cow suit.

    Happy to see Cheung tat Ming.

    1. Any idea why he is not as popular with the audience and peers?

      1. No idea. Probably there are others either better or more popular or knows how to socialise better.

      2. I think Ruco’s still rather “new” at TVB, so haven’t established relationships with many people. For audience, hopefully he gets more recognition if he gets more big dramas to work with, not the small productions like Reality Check or Outbound Love

      3. For Ruco to be in top 5, beating better established peers like Wayne, Moses and Bosco, i think is already quite an achievement at this stage in his career. Rome was not built in a day. If he keeps up the good work, his win isnt too far away as long as tvb plays fair. I’m proud of Ruco.

      4. Yes, we are all very proud of Ruco and hope that he will continue to have a soaring and successful career.

      5. Ruco rise too fast, next year it going be a hard times , he still way behind Kenneth who still eyeing BA, worst next year Raymond lam is back

      6. cloud9, Ruco is not behind Kenneth and Raymond in acting though it’s true he doesn’t have as big a fan base as them.

    2. I sooo totally agree with you. I personally prefer Inbound Troubles as Best Drama. I didn’t expect Dayo to win the award, just thought (and hoped) that he would be in Top 5. Turns out the be a pleasant surprise. He definitely didn’t think that he would get the award.

      Kristal deserves the award! There wasn’t many outstanding Best Actress this year, unfortunately.

      And Benz and Elena! Totally deserving…!

      Ruco is still new, he has plenty of chances. But he’s really good, hope he gets a good character and win an award soon!

  15. What a shocker… Kristal totally deserved it, Linda still needs to improve a lot more but Dayo didn’t expect that at all,but the serie is very enjoyable!

  16. “Most Popular Artists in Mainland China:
    Tavia Yeung (楊怡) and Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎)”

    Eh I didn’t hear this one…

    1. No idea why it was put together in this article but this was an award given by TVBC, yesterday I think.

    2. Thanks for the info. Interesting, Tavia most popular mainland China? Not Charmaine? I don’t believe this.

      1. What the heck is this award supposed to mean anyway? Were they voted by viewers in China? Or by viewers from HK who THOUGHT they were popular in Mainland?

      2. Serious? Tavia most popular? i find that very hard to believe.

      3. Probably On Call 2. The show sells like an idol group: Not bad, not the greatest, a whole lot of fans.

      4. Anyone who has weibo or wechat can vote, not just Chinese or HKers. However TVBC did play cheat by suddenly deleted a lot of votes. KC was the safe game Txb played after the one that they purposed to give Ma Ming was bashed too much. To be clearer, Ma Ming was said to be winner after they deleted most votes of others to make him the highest, but the fans got mad too much to boycott the polls, hence in the end KC (who truly has huge fanbase in China + high value there) is sent.

        For female side, I don’t track but a Kate’s fan (my friend) said that Kate’s votes was deleted as well.

    3. its a rather important prize i think,i would probably attracts more advertisers from the mainland to choose tavia or kevin as their speak person.

  17. wooo, so proud TVB made such a good choice in its award winners!

    Chilam Cheung is handsome and charming, but his ugly egoistic side surfaced through his bitter spech

    1. Chilam handsome and charming????
      He has a murderous look and an extremely ugly character.

  18. There are two other awards missing from the above list.. Best Variety and Best Informative programme. The travel show with the 3 oldies won the former, and Tony and Priscilla’s travel show won the latter.

    1. 是 有 點 混 亂 工 作 是 有 的 但 都 是 我 自 己 refer TVB 只 是 幫 我 接 meaning 暫 時 沒 有 \”阻 止 我 接\” 不 過 當 一 個 TVB aristte 又 沒 有 節 目 又 沒 有 劇 集 時 外 面 的 工 作 就 會 越 來 越 少 假 如 到 時 什 麼 工 作 都 沒 有 才 出 聲 我 已 餓 死

  19. Wow surprise! I’m ok with the results. Congrats to Dayo and Kristal.

    After this maybe we can review the fashion too. I saw Kate and Ron wearing curtain and table cloth over their bodies.

      1. If Ron is the matador, then he finds his bull albeit a cow in the form of Ruco. And he can have Niki as the blanket thing except in black.

      2. But remember the actress who stood up and turned around just for us to see her dress? Ugh, I forgot her name even though I like her roles. Anyway, her dress was soo beautiful! It was classy and elegant and all that…

  20. Kristal was too funny when she said she didn’t know she could get tickets for family members to watch live in the studio

    1. When Elena said what she said about tickets and tearfully I was shocked. No tickets for nominees? A disgrace! Get a bigger studio TVB! Make this bigger than Miss Hk! Give more budget, more practice, better time management and for heaven’s sake, BETTER hosts. Amigo was ok, Dodo was ill prepared. Do away with the stupid interviews and what nots. Retain the voting formula, establish credibility next 3 years or 5 years and change it into Emmys. Get someone good to host. Expand the category and please bring in Best Themesong. Needs music. And a memo to everyone to dress formally.

      1. Yes, all nominees should get at least 2 tickets IMO. It is such a big moment for them yet their family members are not invited

      2. I think Best Theme song involves too much politics, at least for TVB.

      3. Well, TVB did add Best Themesong to their JSG awards ceremony this year…though I truly feel they should add it to anniversary awards instead…hopefully they fix that next year and put Best Themesong where it belongs (in anniversary awards, not JSG ceremony).

    2. Hi! Nice to see you survived the semtseer too! Congrats on the slamming grades! There is some measure of possible for August travels when are yours to the windy city? would you feel all smooshed in upon at attempted alignment?

  21. Linda, Edwin and Kenneth go home empty handed after all the hype.

    1. It is not a bad thing…. they would face backlash, they’re obviously not up to the standard yet.

      1. very happy!!! this time TVB is not just give to whoever it want to promote…

    2. It could be a good thing! it could motivate them to do even better in the future! (:

    3. I think Txb did right thing to not reward those guys. Edwin is good, but Benz Hui is way better.

  22. Wow im shocked this year’s award was very fair. Satisfied with dayo’s win he really did a good job. At least vincent won for something but i think he deserves better. Eliza and prescilla both did good ppl are just haters. Eliza does deserve it though. Congrats to ben and elena aka kenji and 神刁. At least chilam got my favorite. Dayo’s character is better written than chilam’s captain cool. Captain cool was just a souless character to created to make Sam gor shine more.

  23. Im very satisfy with this year winners..they all deserved it!!! 😀
    Well except the winners for “Most Improved Actress” and “Best hosts”.

  24. very happy with the over all results…at least it is not Linda or Kenneth to be King or Queen….I am support happy!!!

    1. I am extremely happy that Chilam is NOT the king, given all the hype.

  25. Dayo Wong absolutely deserve this TVB best actor award. He’s a great actor with natural talent. Congratulations to both Dayo and Benz Hui!!

  26. Well, on Weibo, fans are hysterical over Chilam’s award speech, saying it “minuses points off him”, and his friends are all defending him.

    I really hope he truly meant it in a funny way and not have some double meaning in them…

    But case in point, Francis who was always labelled as ‘blackface’, ‘rude’ etc, showed more class.

  27. Hello jaynestars! May I know, if the most popular artiste in mainland china, was it also an award under tvb? Cause it wasn’t included in the prize presentation at night if I didn’t rmb wrongly.

    1. runawaymoments,
      Tavia Yeung and Kevin Cheng received the Most Popular Artists in Mainland titles as a TVBC award. This was separate from the official TVB Anniversary Awards. I have edited the article accordingly.

  28. I think that one reason why Chilam wanted to win a lot is because his wife, Anita, said that it is impossible to win so they actually made a bet. If he gets the award, the wife will treat him to dinner for 3 months. If he doesn’t win, he got to buy an expensive diamond bracelet for her. So I guess he really wanted to prove her wrong that he can actually win even though he is not “TVB son”.

    But yeah I’m SO surprised with the results and thought that Linda would win. But I’m so glad with the results 🙂 even though I thought that Bounty Lady is not as funny as I expected it to be.

    Maybe TVB is trying to make a little changes here and there! And YAY Benz Hui got recognised!!! I really liked him in Dicey Business.

    1. One question. Is Dayo TVB’s biological son? By Chilam’s definition, Dayo also returned to TVB out of loyalty to save the ratings like Chilam’s position? Was it Benz Hui or who it was that talked about the licensing thing?

    2. @ Cloudandsea,

      Hahaha, Anita posted on weibo thanking the voters for not voting for Chilam, and that she got her bracelet (jokingly).

      Chilam had bought the bracelet, and it seems regardless he won it or not, he was prepared to give it to her, which was sweet.

      1. That’s sweet. I really liked this couple after watching them in 天天向上.

      2. Haha, it’s really funny. She even copied everyone thanking Catherine, Tommy, 620 and Sandy

      3. That’s a nice way to console herself and her arrogant hubby! The audience must have voted for him but the panel of experts think that he is not good enough.

  29. Linda face turned red when anthony wong commented tat she is old to be called BB anymore…. this whole show, the victim is Linda Chung. I personally feels that she lost in every angle kind like humilation

    1. I feel sorry for Linda because she was chosen since May this year with this stupid hype. Then all the negative comments that is not related to her poor performance. Like personal attacks on her.

      Now u guys happy Linda did not win and please stop humiliating her. She may not be a great actress but she really did not deserve your rude comments all these months. I accept the bad comments on her bad acting and role but I hope u guys can respect Linda as a person!!!

    2. I don’t like Linda that much but she’ll always new a “bb” cos of the angelic look she possesses (to me) and people have called her kayan bb for such a long time it’ll be so weird to change. I’ll prefer Linda to have won BA instead of Kristal. Just my opinion, Kristal got it lucky because of her role in BK I don’t even think that her other dramas are that well and I’ve never liked her from the start:/ Poor Linda, I understand her feelings to be so close to getting BA then it turns out not to be her. Tbh I never thought Kristals role was that great in BK either.

      1. Kristal was good and she deserves it. She did a fantastic job. Linda need to work on her acting and hopefully no more hype next year. Just let Linda peacefully do her work. The media can choose Kate to hype all year. Just leave Linda alone. She had enough this year.

      2. Nicholas
        You are very classy. Though Linda Chung is your idol, you supported Kristal Tin for Best Actress.

        Well, Linda Chung will get Best Actress some day if she keeps improving her acting skills. She is still very young.

    3. Poor Linda, most of the winners of Best Actress wear Black dresses and she really come in black dress

    4. C’mon she lost only some titles mann ppl r soooooooooooooooo serious n I still adore Rachel+Lindaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

  30. Veteran actor Lau Kong gave a very good speech which is one of the best speech that nite.

  31. I just don’t understand why Chi Lam has to be so emotional and start blaming on TVB.. Last time Dayo also well deserve Best actor award but was not given to him for few times. He just keep quiet and act in a professional manner. Another case is Tony leung Chiu Wai, didn’t win Best actor for the movie “Happy Together” in cannes festival because the difference is only “1” vote. He’s also didn’t blame the jury.

    1. Chi Lam is overrated anyway. What you described him as just shows that he expected it to be handed to him. Overrated actor on an overrated role from a underwhelming, disappointing sequel.

      1. Absolutely agree with you that Chi Lam is overrated. Actually Chi Lam just rely on his looks to charm the fans. In terms of acting skills, Francis Ng and Dayo Wong are definitely better than him. Francis Ng is a Golden Horse award winner and Dayo has a top notch acting skills who deserve best actor award long time ago. Besides Dayo is known to deliver good ratings for TVB. Chi Lam should stay humble.

      2. He should be thankful that he did not go back empty handed.He was lucky enough to have the support of the audience to win the Fav Male Character Award.
        Hope he NEVER wins any award again.

      3. Hey Chilam isn’t all that bad of an actor! He’s okay. Um.. I’ll just stay there. His acting skills are fine, definitely better than Kenneth (I think Kenneth had ‘okay’ skills and a good character), no way near Ruco and Francis. But Ruco is still new so he has plenty of chances.

        And Dayo! His acting skills are soo natural, I don’t even think he’s acting some times. And then of course some other people stroll along and break me out of that place, reminding myself that I am not watching a real life event but a drama.

      4. “Overrated actor on an overrated role from a underwhelming, disappointing sequel.”

        Succintly put. He also has a wife who was insufferably obnoxious and arrogant during her heydays as the ‘it’ girl of early 1990s HK cinema. She fell from grace soon enough and has been humbled by her flops and poor reputation in getting along with others. Overrated like her husband, and also lacks graciousness. I used to wonder what what Chi Lam saw in Anita, but now I think perhaps they feed each others egos. Whatever. Interesting that their good friend Christine Ng is another self-aggrandizing personality. Birds of the same feather flock together.

      5. Too much hate for Chilam on this site. Chilam asked ‘ Why TVB won’t let me get the award?’ in a JOKING way. TVB made so much hype for Chilam to win and ended up he didn’t , anyone would be disappointed. Not really a super fan of his but I like his acting, very natural, and don’t say he’s overrated by just watching TITS2, Captain Cool wasn’t perfect but for me he’s fit for the role, imagine our latest TV King being Captain Cool??? He’s not overrated, what he films for TVB has always been in the Top 5 in terms of ratings, go check out yourself.

      6. And why pull Anita in, you mean you’re more professional than all the pro judges in the bench? It’s HK Film Awards, not TVB awards

      7. Nope, I don’t hate Chilam but I am not impressed by his attitude nor acting this year at all. If Captain Cool was to be crowned ‘TV King’, that would a great embarassment and slight to the meaning of Best Actor. It takes more than strutting around acting cool in a pilot suit to deserve the award. Good thing that the professional judges voted for Dayo and not Chi Lam for the award, it shows that they are more objective than you.

        And why not bring up Anita? Her comments on weibo “thanking” Tommy Leung, Ms.Tsang, 620 and Sandy Yu for not giving Chilam the TV King award drips with sarcarsm. Anita Yuen is no modest character, far from it. Talking about acting too big for one’s boots, Chi Lam trails behind her.

      8. RW, which is why he won the most favourite category being 100% fan vote. Nobody says best actor has to be in the highest rated show and who says Bounty Lady won’t be highest rated in the end?

      9. felicity, I can quite imagine if Kristal won nothing her husband Chapman would have posted obscenities as well. Spouse can be rather outspoken for their spouse.

      10. I switched to UMTS and that atiomatucally activated 3G and then .I get the message data package not available’. I think then 3G is not available on MTN in my area (??) so I switch back to dual mode and the Edge symbol on my phone comes on but I can’t get beyond a meagre 115.2kbps speed. You reckon I should try glo next?

  32. Wow I’m glad with how the results turned out 😀 but I’m surprised that Dayo Wong got Best Actor, not that I don’t think he doesn’t deserve it. It’s just weird because he wasn’t even there to accept the award. Nevertheless, the results were satisfying 🙂

  33. LOVELY results. DID NOT EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN. I am surprised that good old TVB actually gave it to people who DESERVED IT. With the exception of may Eliza…but she proved herself just a little bit on On Call 2. I’m actually satisfied with the results this year. But of course, conspiracy theories will always float around, and TVB probably did this due to their infamous scandals this year to try to prove themselves that they’re legit and not corrupt. Sorry, still not convincing.

    1. Next year, 3 more stations to competes hv to lo.no longer a monopoly station liao lei..

      Too many unjustice…hong konger will sure burn hell money again lo…..

      Sigh.hmmmm

      1. Cont…
        If tvb not wake up sure going downhill.
        Friendship cards out to:-
        3 old siu sang.
        Dayo wong
        Francis & chi lam
        If the above were not being appreciated.
        Their l last card I guess must be the 4 heavenly king lo subject their were willing to help out if not tvb will became atv

      2. unjustice or not, this industry is a quite a small and limited industry. I mean their resources. Most probably the hong kong government not granted license to HKTV because they dont want HKTV to create problem disrupting the whole industry. Plus TVB adi 46years and contribute a lot to the society. The government wont simply grant you license to create chaos into the industry. And you never proof urself out and n achievement at all but wanna get license? If can simply granted license, then the whole industry will be in chaos. BTW TVB FOREVER AND EVER. hehhee

      3. @raymond.
        I guess u must be 620 relative that supports tvb till d end….
        Hahaha…no offence ya…just teasing.

      4. Hehe, yea, i love TVB forever. I will do whatever it takes to keep TVB alive forever and ever. Plus many people should “yam shui see yee” in cantanose. scare u dun understand, means must remember the goodness that tvb gave you. All 46 years tvb has created so many talented superstar. Government wont simply granted you license to create chaos into the industry because the resources are so limited(the actors). If you want to earn from this industry, you can invest in TVB , you dont need to get new license to create trouble. TVB FOREVER AND EVER. and also Raymond Lam will forever support TVB hehehe

      5. I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES! Peeta is my favorite ctehacrar and I\’ve been in LOve with Josh Ryan Hutcherson (Bday- Oct.12th) ever since Bridge to Terebithia and was SO SOS OSOSOSOSOSO happy when he was chosen as Peeta! Is anyone else not able to go to some of these pages on the website, like Fun stuff?

  34. I am very satisfied with the winners of Best Actor and Best Actress Bravo. .!

  35. Haha, actually i feel surprised because how come TVB announce the Best Actor award first. After some thought then know adi. Because TVB knows it who is the best actor which is DAYO WONG. But unfortunately they never expected it dayo to won it maybe last minute too many viewer voted him and he is not in the event. So to make it look nicer they announce the Best actor first, and put the my favourite awards the last one. BTW, this time no need to bashing anymore like last year. Dayo Wong really deserves the awards. Look at his acting skill, his speaking and all, really very PRO. Hehe. But for my favourite actress, Kristal Tin won it a little bit questionable lar. The only reason can explain it is that 35 years old and above many are voting her. Because those teenager for sure vote for Linda chung or other pretties one.

    1. Me too the fact that I don’t understand any Cantonese or Mandarin so I thought Krystal and Dayo won most favorite, just after the award I only know they were for the TV king and queen

  36. Can someone enlighten me? I thought My盛Lady is currently airing? How is it that Dayo can win TV King? And did Kate win anything?
    I really do enjoy My盛Lady 😀

    1. Oh sorry I didn’t know that My盛Lady is competing>< my mistake..

    2. Try study the acting skill of dayo wong and chilam and francis. Dayo definitely is the better one. And this time got 50% professional bodies people to vote ma. If really professional , sure vote dayo adi one. So its fair.

      1. Dayo is a good actor and im happy for his win. But don’t try to compare him and francis. They are both good actors with different styles. Please don’t try to downgrade francis just cuz you’re a super dayo supporter

      2. I agree with Dada. Their acting styles are very differenOne is drama and one is comcomedy. Though I must say, it is very refreshing to see an actor winning Best Actor for a comedy. Because I have never seen it before. Its always drama, epic drama and drama again. But Dayo definitely deserves the award, his acting is so natural I sometimes forget he’s acting.

  37. Overall I’m pretty happy with the results! Bounty Lady is such a refreshing drama, and I’m glad Dayo got the recognition he deserves. Only disappointment is that Ruco didn’t receive anything because I thought his performance in Brother’s Keeper was one of the most memorable ones this year and definitely a personal breakthrough in his acting career. Kristal was very deserving of the Best Actress award, so I’m glad she got it. Even though I didn’t think this was Linda’s year, I feel so bad for her because each year the media hypes up her chances, she ends up walking away with nothing. 🙁 But honestly, she has a HUGE chance next year with two big production dramas. Also super happy that Vincent Wong won Most Improved! About time this guy got some recognition. Personally this was one of the fairer awards shows in recent years so I’m not complaining.

    1. very hard lar for ruco given all other good actor around. Especially MALE is very unfair. Unlike Female, full of possibilities. But for male sorry lar no matter how good is RUCO, at least for the next 5 year he wont be getting any awards. Sorry for him. Because too many strong contenders every year. He just dont have the look, i mean the overall package to attracts more fans to love him. Its all about people to like you. Dayo although not handsome, but his look so funny, he brings happiness to people, his speaking skill and acting skill are perfect.

    1. Haha! I know what you mean by ‘busy-ness’ before biemdte! I need to have relaxing shower, layer all the magic skin potions, check all household chores are done, check all lights/appliances are switched off, pack next day’s breakfast/lunch, Busy sia! 😛

  38. yes…very happy with all the results this year…it is the most fair result!

    1. You’ve compiled a wofurendl list here so far! I’m in Minneapolis and have seen Damo twice, so he’s got a bit of traction here – more in Boston & NYC. I didn’t know he had anything out in ’09, must be his gigging that qualifies. Other than the really obvious – Lisa Hannigan (the best I’ve heard in years!), The Swell Season, Bell X1 – the lesser-knowns (over here anyway) that I can’t stop listening to are Gavin Glass, Our Little Secrets, Cathy Davey, Beautiful Unit and Jape. That is a fantastic music scene happening over there, I’m envious!

    1. Now this is a gracious winner. 🙂 I wish that Dayo and Dodo Cheng will collaborate soon in a new TVB drama, as they were hilarious in War of the Genders. That was a classic comedy. A Dayo-Dodo reunion would be awesome, and an almost sure ratings winner!
