Roger Kwok and Wong Cho Lam Battle for TV King

The TVB Anniversary Awards is drawing closer. Every year, artistes battle for Hong Kong’s most hotly discussed television awards. With many series pulling in mediocre ratings, Roger Kwok (郭晉安) and Wong Cho Lam (王祖藍) are the top favorites for this year’s TV King title.

Roger’s evil role and stellar acting in Black Heart White Soul <忠奸人> managed to stand above the rest. In an earlier interview, Roger humbly said that the competition for the rest of the year is very strong and he is already satisfied that the ratings passed 30 points.

With Come On, Cousin <老表,你好Hea!> designated as an Anniversary drama, Roger’s chances of winning the Best Actor award are increased. Roger said, “After winning twice, I already know the award would be harder to win again. I’ll just keep a normal mentality. I’m already happy that Come On, Cousin is scheduled to air as an Anniversary series. This time, the series has a lot of different storylines and everyone in the drama has their own respective stories. We all tried our best. As to which series’ actor will win the award…I don’t know, I’ve never thought about it. There are still months left, and there are a lot of dramas [competing], let’s watch them all first!”

Besides being the other male lead in Come On, Cousin, Wong Cho Lam is also the scriptwriter behind the entire series. Since a lot of complaints were received for the finale of prequel, Inbound Troubles <老表,你好嘢>, Cho Lam has been concentrating on creating the perfect script for Come On, Cousin. Receiving a lot of support from TVB’s upper management team, the drama was allegedly slotted as an Anniversary series in order to promote Cho Lam to a first line actor, giving him an optimal run for Best Actor.

    1. Wong Cho Lam’s acting is super annoying and not even funny. OMG his face and voice is so annoying. I haven’t watched a single drama from Wong Cho Lam.

      Eric Zsang looks and height is like Wong Cho Lam, but Eric’s acting is funny and likeable.

  1. Roger would deserve BA for his outstanding performance in BHWS. I don’t think Cho Lam is ready for TV King yet.

  2. I think Roger should be Tv King this year he really deserves it !!! I root for you Roger ^^

  3. kinda glad that this yr raymond isnt being dragged into these award hype again like some previous yrs. Poor guys keeps getting used to generate hype but receives nothing in the end

    i cant really imagine WCL winning BA, yet at least, lol well he isnt a bad actor but lol idk

    1. “i cant really imagine WCL winning BA, yet at least, lol well he isnt a bad actor but lol idk”

      Yup, lol ugliness didn’t stop him from getting to where he is. Definitely luck is on his side. 😀 🙁 LOL!

      1. “Sad thing, this time around Ray is getting more positive buzz for Line Walker, but because he’s not an TVB artist, he’s probably not going to get it.”

        Peanuts, with tvb or not, he’s still not going to get it. Check out the list Roger Kwok and that Wong Chok Chok. 😀 🙁 LOL!

      2. If BA only goes towards TVB-contracted artistes, why did Dayo won last year? He’s not a contracted artiste.

        And maybe tvb feels bad and hence they are giving to raymond. regardless. its just an award.

      3. “And maybe tvb feels bad and hence they are giving to raymond. regardless. its just an award.”

        Yup, to someone that has what it takes, it’s just an award but to Raymond it’s the whole 9 yard. 😀 🙁 LOL!

    2. Sad thing, this time around Ray is getting more positive buzz for Line Walker, but because he’s not an TVB artist, he’s probably not going to get it.

      1. Dayo Wong won it last year. They very well may give it to Raymond this year…

  4. All the acting that Cho Lam can do is to act funny. That means a very one-sided aspect of the craft.

    What’s so special about this to warrant even a TV king consideration???

    Completely off tangent. TVB management has no inkling of what TV audiences want.

  5. Wong Cholam as TV King is an insult to many other more deserving actors. Give Wong Cholam the producer tag or writer but leave him out of the TV king pool.

    1. how is it an insult? maybe an insult to your eyes!

      But in tvb, everyone’s a part of tvb’s family. People in tvb are generally happy for each other regardless of who wins.

      1. yes it is an insult,wong cho lam is good as a scriptwriter of comedy’s but his acting is one sided and is just playing himself in comedies,i dont call this acting,because he is all the same in real life.

  6. I can think of many actors who deserve to win it first before cholam….. Ruco chan, raymond wong, joe ma, bosco wong… even vincent wong!

  7. He’s a talented guy but no, he’s not good enough to be the best actor yet.

  8. Roger totally deserves to win tv king this year. Not WCL. Maybe Ruco in the new drama can give him a run for his money.

  9. poor tvb, everybody is leaving and people like wong cho lam can be tv king lol

    he acts that same stupid character in everything he plays

  10. I can see roger kwok as this year’s ba. but if all that is bitter is sweet does well and if ruco’s role shines through, then ruco will also have a chance.

    Better than kenneth!

  11. well, if roger’s only competition is wong cho lam, then it seems like roger’s gonna get tv king this year.

      1. BTW, one of Michael Mui’s best role was “Chor Lau Heung”. He’s already a winner with or without the award. 😀 🙁 LOL!

    1. Agree both are winners with or without the award but with roger vs Michael it will be awesome

  12. There is so many deserving actors that deserves Tvb king. Yes, he is funny and hard working but his acting isn’t good enough. Ruco from ruse of engagement?

  13. WCL may be talented as a scriptwriter but actor? Not even….I think most people are just confused between writing the script and acting just because he wrote some of the produciton doesn’t automatically label him as a great actor.

  14. Wong Cho Lam?? What a big hype! I’m in for Roger! But nope to WCL! We don’t even see his performance yet! If not Roger let it be Ruco!! Funny but I’d rather Raymond Lam or Bosco Wong or Louis Cheung win it instead of WCL!

  15. In the above photos Roger looks like Bosco and Cho Lam looks like Benz Hui

  16. is this a joke?? wong cho lam competing for tvb king?? HAHAHAHAHH funniest thing i heard this week!!

  17. I heard in other forum said that Wong Cho Nam is from rich family,he can’t even act but his family “donate” money to TVB so he can get the host job in TVB and he could win the title if he offer bribery to tvb,is this true.
    This Wong acting skill more inferior than a kelefe in tvb ,how can he nominated for tvb king,even Derek kok,Sammy Shum,Louis Cheung acting skill are 10000 times better than Wong,agree?

  18. Everyone has a chance. Not roger. How about Ben Wong or Lawerence Ng or Ruco Chan.

  19. If it’s true, then i really fear for the future of TVB. I think i better start watching Korean dramas.

  20. altough i think roger was better in the last one standing,his acting as a evil guy in BHWS is too obvious. but to me his acting is already masterly,with or without the tv king title,and competing with wong cho lam is really a joke.

  21. Raymond is doing pretty good, but he won’t get it. Since he’s so unlucky with the BA award

  22. Roger is good but wish he gives other actors a chance.

    If LF stayed in TVB longer, this award may be in his bag. Too bad he left so earlier…….. Ignorant move.

    1. Agree but roger isn’t fighting for the tv king.. Wayne is the man who has been winning non stop the last few years so maybe Wayne is the man to give others a chance… Its been ten years since roger has been in the tv king competition

      1. it loses its meaning (actually already has) once its shared around, like the person gets it just for the sake of getting it because he/she hasnt got it before

        and i wouldnt say ray made an ignorant move leaving tvb, and it’s probably even a smart move.

      2. Why should Wayne, Roger, Kevin and Moses give other chances. They all worked hard to get to where they are and will continue to do so. Age will catch up with them one day especially Wayne and he knows it. 😀 🙁 LOL!

  23. yeah .. Roger deserve the best actor award…and Louis the best supporting actor.

  24. It is too early to say about who will be TV King this year because there are six more series to be aired;let’s wait and see.

  25. I support Ruco. His performance in ROE and Outbound Love are very good. I will definitely vote for Ruco.

  26. In my opinion, so far BA competitors this year are Roger, Michael Miu and Ruco. Although, all three of them are best actors in my heart but I will vote for Ruco.

    1. i think ruco should win. i mean roger and michael is beyond the level. they dont need the tvb king award

  27. i think Wong Cho Lam has pretty good comic timing and etc.
    but only as a B rated actor.
    he is no TV King.
    his face is irritating and sometimes he just tries way too hard.
    he should work behind the scenes.
    we watch tv to rewind with pleasing faces…….

  28. i don’t think that Wong Cho Lam would deserve to be the winner of this year’s TV king!!!! i mostly think that Roger Kwok would get the TV king this year!!!! 🙂 but everyone knows that Wong Cho Lam is a very funny guy and always makes people laugh out loud!!!!!

    1. WCL doesnt make me laugh . He makes me puke with his disgusting mannerism.

  29. Wong Cho Nam is quite comical. Roger Kwok is a very versatile and good actor.

  30. Wong Cho Nam is talented, but agree with the rest, he should work behind the scene. I really like Inbound troubles, thought the script is good!
