My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards 2011 (My Astro On Demand 我的最愛頒獎典禮2011) - 27 November 2011















VIDEO CLIPS COMING SOON !














































A week had passed since AOD award presentation and only now, I have time to share my two cents about the event. In a couple of hours' time, the new TVB King and Queen will be crowned, too. Prior to this, news already leaked out that the award is within Kevin's grasp. Gasp !!!! Horrors! Kevin may have performed better in "Ghetto" compared to his usual substandard acting from his previous efforts but he is certainly no match for Laughing or even Wayne's subtle portrayal as Pro Sir or Ruco's lawyer Keith in "The Other Truth". If I were to reside in HK, I think I would have taken my protest to the street if Laughing fails to clinch the award tonight. IMO, it was very unbecoming of Kevin to utter this during AOD award show when he won "My favourite actor in leading role" for "Law Ba" in "Ghetto Justice."

Kevin's winning speech :- “Some people asked me if I were to win the Astro My Favorite Actor Award, would that mean that I will not be winning TVB’s award (TV King)? I felt very contradictory; so will I get it or not?” The audience below the stage shouted, “You will get it!” Kevin continued, “My heart feels more steady! I have to take advantage of the opportunity to talk more because it does not come up often!” (excerpts from Jaynestar entertainment news).

And that is not the end of the story. Kevin repeated this at least 3 more times to the media and during his solo interview after returning to HK. His statement borders on cockiness and lacks class. How would his strongest contender, Laughing, feels deep down ? I wanna make him eat the humble pie ! Even Bosco exudes an air of diplomacy and shows his humble side during his acceptance speech, thanking co-star Laughing. Heck ! Bosco's acting was stellar in "Lives of Omission", better than "Law Ba." Although things does not look so bright for Laughing, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and rooting for Laughing Sir!

"Curse of the royal harem"'s ratings (although no astronomical numbers) is sure bet for Myolie to grab the tv queen title - a repeat of her feat in AOD award show. She actually churns out better performance in "Ghetto" but then again, no complains. If the award goes to Fala, then I would really need a barf bag. Netizens seemed to be more forgiving towards Fala's unconvincing high ranking inspector role and terrible Canto diction. On the opposite end of the spectrum, hate mails and brick bats were thrown at Kate for her unbelievable appearance and flawless-hair-commercial-look hairdo as the Senior Officer in "Forensic Hero." I can still accept Kate (yes, although I agree Madam Ling looks like pseudo-model more than police inspector) to certain degree. Also, Kate was more convincing that Ah Sheh in the last Forensic installment.

Ben Wong (Raymond Wong got this one for Astro) is definitely worthy of this award. "Spicy Ginger" (Lat Geung) really rocks !!! His facial expressions and gestures deserved two thumbs-up and his screen time commands attention ! Kenneth Ma has shown improvement as the crooked bad ass sibling of the king in "The Life and Times of a Sentinel." I like Raymond Wong too and hopefully, his soon-to-be-released Lee Tim Seng produced drama (Bottled Passion - 我的如意狼君) will propel his career to greater heights. Can't wait to get my hands on this drama....looks promising !

I was pretty happy and moved when Sharon (who had gone thru' a great deal of personal upheavals - mainly health issues) was awarded with "My Fave Supporting Actress" in Malaysia. I hope she scores again this evening. If not, let's have Nancy Wu. Elena Kong has been commendable in all her roles but compared to Sharon and Nancy, there wasn't much buzz about the character she plays this year.

In Astro awards, Michael and Fala picked-up the best on-screen couple. As much I support Michael, there is zero chemistry between the two of them. Fala has more sparks with Damian Lau and Michael with his pet, "Hiu See" (Arrogant). Surely, the steamy-passionate and love-hate relationship of Paris and Cripple Co are a better choice !

Fave drama theme song went to Michael again ! Such a joke. I was expecting Raymond Lam or Julian to walk away with the award.


Best drama - please, please,please let it be either "Omission" or "Forensic." In terms of ratings, it can never be "Ghetto Justice." Be fair, TVB !
