This year’s TVB Anniversary Awards will be a highly anticipated one as the TV King, TV Queen and Best Series will be entirely voted by the viewers.
Held on 17th December 2012, TVB released the voting details at its media conference yesterday. The voting lines will be opened from 10 December, 3 pm to 17 December, 3 am and only Hong Kong citizens are eligible to vote.
Viewers can vote through tvb.com, via phone text messages or call in the phone lines. Every voter is entitled to only one vote for each category. Should there be any duplication of votes, only the most recent vote will be counted in.
Myolie Wu wins “Most Ideal Kissing Partner”
At the event yesterday, TVB specially created a award for Most Ideal Kissing Partner and all the artists took part to vote. It was a close race as Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) won the award with 15 votes over Tavia Yeung’s (楊怡) 14 votes.
The emcee then selected the artist which voted for Myolie and Oscar Leung (梁烈唯) was chosen. Myolie and Oscar excitedly hugged and Myolie even gave him a peck on his cheek!
Oscar revealed the reason for voting Myolie, “When I was young, I had already watched Myolie’s series. I joined TVB because of her!”Myolie replied, “I looked upon him (Oscar) as a younger brother. I wish you the best to win the Most Improved Male Artist. This game is so fun, hope that it can be organised every year”.
Although this year’s TV Queen competition focuses on Tavia and Kate Tsui (徐子珊), Myolie said that she could be a dark horse to win the race. “I suddenly feel that I can win the award. I have the highest votes at the online forum. I will do my best”.
Him Law voted for Wayne Lai in Most Ideal Kissing Partner award
Rumoured couple, Tavia Yeung and Him Law (羅仲謙) remained the highlight at the event. Laughing Gor (Michael Tse 謝天華) appeared to be a ‘light bulb’ sitting in between Tavia and Him. When the emcee announced that Him actually voted for Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) in the Most Ideal Kissing Partner, everyone booed at him.
However, Tavia remained happy and smiled through the event.
Kate Tsui’s absence sparked speculations
At the recent Astro Awards in Malaysia, Tavia appeared to steal the limelight from Kate Tsui (徐子珊). As Kate was said to be sick, she did not attend the Anniversary Awards’ media conference. However, Kate subsequently appeared at a designer boutique event in the evening.
Asked if her absense was to avoid Tavia, Kate responded, “Of course not! We were all very happy for Tavia and Kenneth at the Malaysian awards ceremony. They truly deserved the awards. I am happy for her”.Explaining her absence at the media conference in the day, Kate explained that she was down with a flu and had to see a doctor in the day.
As Tavia had won the Astro TV Queen award, Kate was asked if her chances are higher at the TVB Anniversary Awards. “Please do not speculate too much. Last year, Myolie clinched both awards too, but the rules of the contest has changed. I will actively pull in the votes and will not give myself too much stress”.
At the media conference yesterday, various artists including Wayne Lai, Moses Chan (陳豪) and Roger Kwok (郭晉安) all went on stage to solicit votes. Wayne said that if the viewers’ reviews of The Confidant <大太監> was good, there could be a sequel coming shortly.
Asked what he would do to pull in votes, Wayne replied jokingly, “Maybe I will give out supermarket vouchers. I am only kidding!”
During the voting for the Most Ideal Kissing Partner, many male artists voted for the male artists instead of the female artists. Even Him Law voted for Wayne!
Wayne replied humorously, “Maybe everyone wants to try out something new. I did not expect that my colleagues have such sexual orientation!”
