Tavia Yeung Was Disappointed Him Law Did Not Win Best Actor

The 2024 TVB Anniversary Awards Presentation was held on Sunday night in Macau. With the attendance of over 100 artistes, the awards show peaked at 27.7 ratings points with 1.79 million viewers. This year’s results were surprising as many underdogs walked away with the most prestigious awards of the night.

The Best Actress category had many strong contenders including Tavia Yeung (楊茜堯), Rosina Lam (林夏薇), Yoyo Chen (陳自瑤), and Kelly Cheung (張曦雯). Tavia Yeung was viewed as the hot favorite as her long-awaited return in Darkside of the Moon <黑色月光> was also critically praised. Many hoped Tavia would win Best Actress alongside her husband Him Law (羅子溢) as Best Actor. In the end, Tavia only won Greater Bay’s Favorite TVB while Katy Kung (龔嘉欣) and Owen Cheung (張振朗) won the highly coveted Best Acting awards.

Many netizens in China and Hong Kong took to social media to criticize the results and requested TVB to publicly reveal the number of votes. Although they acknowledged Katy’s acting skills and efforts over the years, her acting performance still paled in comparison to her competitors. Fans felt that Tavia’s situation was similar to Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) in 2021, when the latter failed to received Best Actress in Kids’ Lives Matter <星空下的仁醫> despite her critically-acclaimed performance due to TVB politics.

Owen’s improvement was visible and despite his likeable personality, netizens remained astonished he won Best Actor over stronger competitors such as Moses Chan (陳豪), Him Law, Ruco Chan (陳展鵬), Bosco Wong (黃宗澤), and Wayne Lai (黎耀祥).

Commenting on the awards results, Tavia indicated she was a little disappointed Him did not win Best Actor for Happily Ever After? <婚後事>. Tavia said, “For me, I came not expecting anything. I’ve actually unlocked a new achievement. I’ve never won the Greater Bay Area award before. There were many fans who voted for me, so I’m very grateful. However, I’m a little disappointed because I really wanted my husband and my sister Griselda Yeung (楊卓娜) to win. I feel that my husband did a great job. Every artiste is very hard working and they all deserve their awards, but of course I’ll support my husband and sister. Don’t give up, you’ll win soon. The most important thing is to continue to do the best you can and enjoying the process is also a happy game!”

Him thanked the people who supported him and promised he would continue to work hard. “I look forward to next time. To be honest, I’m already very grateful to have made it to the Top Five. I feel so fortunate to know so many people support us!”

Owen Cheung and Katy Kung Respond to Controversial Wins

Owen shared he did not think that he would have a chance at winning Best Actor after winning the award for Malaysia. “It was too sudden and my brain was still blanking out. I’m really happy and want to thank the entire crew of No Room for Crime <反黑英雄>.” Owen joked he needed to treat Elaine Yiu ( 姚子羚) to dinner as she was already calling him “Best Actor Owen” during drama promotions. When asked if he has plans to marry his girlfriend Renci Yeung (楊偲泳) now, Owen joked, “I think the next step is to earn money. I want to earn more money to buy a bigger home for my family. Of course, I plan on celebrating with her.”

Commenting on her Best Actress win, Katy shared, “When the presenters announced the result, my heart jumped and I wondered whether [I] would have a chance. It still feels like a dream!” Asked if she was unhappy to hear netizens were not pleased with the results, Katy responded, “It’s not easy. There’s a limit to how many awards are available, so it’s hard to win. I approach every character as my final role to act because I don’t know if there will still be a chance afterward. I tried my best.”

  1. Him should have won, he had much more positive feedback when his series aired, whereas Owen didn’t really set the world on fire with his role.

    As for Katy, no way she should have won, her Fong Fong role wasn’t that outstanding. Whereas Tavia role was much more complex , & she did a great job, she basically carried the series..
