Have a Break

     Ok, to be honest, i had not been full swing studying for my exam. Saturday paper is a gone case. Let's just pray for me to pass~! I can't expect good grades this year. Confidence is running low. On a lighter note, that paper is the one which i fear most. The other two are slightly cope-able for me. Anyway, i'll be studying the next few days before attending the examination on thursday and saturday.

     Yesterday was the biggest event of the year for Singapore TV Scene- The Star Awards 2009. Mediacorp showed fairness and favoritism over the artistes. Dai Yang Tian, with his mediocre performance in The Little Nyonya, won the best newcomer. I believed the other nominees are much better than him. Maybe this was given as a makeup for not making it to the list of Most Popular Top 20 Artistess. The Little Nyonya was one of the most hate show I ever watched in Channel 8. Overrated, but kudos to those supporting casts, their good acting prove that this show is still watchable. Thankfully, Jeanette Aw lost the best actress to Joanne Peh. I would rather Joanne Peh or Chen Liping win instead of that lousy, expressionless Jeanette.

Surprises

Kym Ng and Michelle Chia did not make it to the Top 20 list. Ann Kok did not even qualify for the top 40. Henry Thia made it to the Top 20. Gurmit Singh and him, should not even get the nomination. What was Henry Thia show in 2008? I can’t even recall Gurmit’s show too. I would expect a battle of the young male idol next year in the Top 20 category, since the two LEEs will be up in the Sheng Tai - Christopher Lee & Mark Lee. I will call for Kym next year, remind me~!!! Last surprise was that there are two award winner in Supporting Actress category~!

Not so Surprising

     Chen Hanwei won the best actor, Joanne won the best actress, Xiang Yun & Ng Hui won the supporting actress. In supporting actor category, Chew Chor Meng beat the other capable nominees. He may not be the clear favorites, his acting was still good. The more popular Seven Princess qualify for the Top 10 while the other two, Fiona & Dawn, was out again~! The Little Nyonya won the best TV series. Its not surprising, since they spend so much in promoting the ‘Nyonya’ culture.

     I don’t believe The Little Nyonya’s main song should win. There are better songs available. I think Perfect Cut should win the TV series and also the song. I simply love Shi Xin Hui’s two songs from the show. Both songs was featured in my blog here. Guo Liang deserves his host award while Belinda deserves her award in infotainment host award. Over at the newscaster category, Dong Shu Hua beats Zhang Hai Jie to win 5 consecutive. Isn’t that an achievement over someone who also won many times consecutively before jumping over to, now defunct, MediaWorks?

     Alright, its all my view. No hard feelings but Jeanette & Dai Yang Tian had a long way to go before they can claim any acting awards.
