NTV7 金视奖2017 – NTV7 Golden Awards 2017 - 20th May 2017 (Setia City Convention Centre)

The special appearance of TVB artistes, Elaine Yiu, Joyce Tang, Katy Kung and Ben Wong lured me to the 2017 NTV7 Golden Awards.  I had anticipated the ceremony to be uneventful since I’m not familiar with the dramas nominated.  Little did I, along with the rest of the audiences had expected to walk out of Setia City Convention Centre in utter horror over the debacle right before the ceremony ended. Frankly, everyone (from presenters, emcees, nominees to guests) did quite a laudable job. Half-way through the show, I even told my friends that the standard of local award show has surprisingly elevated.  Good grief !  I spoke too soon!! During the presentation of the final award (Best TV Drama), the guest presenter-cum-major sponsor,Pamoga, really went overboard in promoting her product. Initially, I was actually impressed by her ability to speak Mandarin (although her fashion sense is extremely questionable). If she has had the decency to sell her product in a professional and appropriate manner which complies to the protocol of a live event, it would have been fine but no ! this obnoxious and deranged lady had to hog the lime light and treat it like her own bloody talk show ! She was downright crass and insulting our eyes and sight with her endless trash-talk. It was simply revolting. Thank God quick-thinking Jordan Voon (2017 Best Actor winner) managed to coax her into presenting the award first before spewing more garbage from her mouth. Her antics on stage was unfitting for a founder of a so-called multi-million organization and really put Malaysians to shame. Never seen such a farce at a live event before! Next time, I hope Prima Media vets their organizers carefully.  Otherwise, all the effort and credibility of the show goes down the drain over the overbearing and silly antics of one vain sponsor. As expected, netizens bombarded NTV7’s FB page with nasty comments after the show.  Pamoga really turns out to be the biggest “winner” of the nite !

Elaine Yiu dazzles in a Kevolie sponsored golden gown.  Elaine and buddy, Katy Kung, jointly presented the awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay. Elaine expressed the desire to act as someone who suffers from multiple personality disorder (James McAvoy’s spectacular  performance in “Split” comes to mind) or take on a tomboyish role. Kate wants to jump out of  comfort zone and be the next action star.  If presented with a chance to collaborate with local artistes, Katy’s pick is  Crystal Lee.  Elaine would like to work with Angelica Lee.  After Raymond Wong’s participation in an NTV7 drama with Debbie Goh last year, hopefully, Elaine would be the next to follow suit. Elaine’s next project in the pipeline is a new comedy drama with veteran Dominic Lam, Lai Lokyi and Nancy Sit.   

Ben Wong and Joyce Tang are seriously two artistes who look even better as they aged. They took part in a skit with the local artistes and also presented the coveted Best Actor/ Best Actress awards. Click on the clip to watch Ben and Joyce’s witty banter.  Veteran actor, Jordan Voon, took home the Best Actor honour after a lapse of 18 years and Karena Teoh emerged as the Best Actress. Best Drama goes to “3.15 AM”. Media’s Choice Award (and a new Proton car) is presented to Yeoh Yann Yann (never liked her).  My fave dude, Fabian Loo (I could hardly recognized him…used to his clean-cut boy-next-door look) won the “Best Newcomer” accolade. Cheng Kam Cheong walked away with the “Lifetime Achievement Award”.  Jeffery Cheng was his usual charming-self at the red carpet (flashing his famous sparkling million dollar smile) and girlfriend, Yise Loo, also presented the award to Orange Tan for Best Drama theme song. It was quite an awkward moment for Yise since she is also being nominated in the same category.

Guest performers are Penangite Jeryl Lee Pei Ling (I like her voice) and Penny Tai’s protégé, Shio, who composes her own songs (non- mainstream songs are not my cup of tea).  A total of 37 awards were presented and the show drags for way too long. It ended around midnite.    Cheryl Lee did well as the host of the evening. Would have been better if she had a partner to co-host the event with. Can’t say the same for Orange (who hosted the red carpet with Emily Chan)…I find her kinda cocky.  Orange and Gary’s interaction was distasteful and hardly funny. For avid fans, the red carpet is the place to be before the show kicks off.  Everyone would be jostling for the prime pic-snapping and celeb-cheering position. Here, I only see a handful of enthusiastic fans. Pixs shared by NTV7 in their social media is a joke – so darn blurry.

Aside from exercising caution when selecting the right sponsor, the media and TV stations should also be wary of promoting movies financed by dubious entity, especially those involved in ponzi scheme companies (or better known as money game in Malaysia). One good example is the movie, “Goodbye Mr Loser” 令伯特烦恼 (an Asia Tropical film) which was financed by the infamous JJPTR scammers. We should not be supporting movies made with blood money conned from innocent victims.
