SINGAPORE - The first ever sAvvyAwArd ended in a glamorous way. What made it so special? Not only because of the performances from the star-studded group of artistes that were nominated for the voice category, Most 'Mer-ler-dious' Award, those performed artistes, including Joseph T, Aris, Jenson and Rajesh, who performed a BSB song, stole a lot of limelight from the other nominees.
The hosts for this ceremony were the 4 popular and talented ex-City Beats hosts, Sharon Au, Kym Ng, Lina Wong and Bryan Wong. This marked the 1st ever co-hosting event from the two rival media companies. Even though this was their first hosting together since 1999, they put up a good show and bring lots of laughter to the audiences.
The guest for the night includes Mr Liaw Sze Wong and Mrs Hazel Leong. There was also an unexpected guest for the event. Have you guessed who she would be? Yes, she was the pop-idol for the vocalist award, Mendy Moore and dancer-singer, Aris 'BRITNEY'. Not many people have guess her attendance for such a so-called 3-star event. She personally proposed to ZOMBO RECORDS to arrange her to fly all the way here.
There wasn't any upset in this 3hrs-long event. In the Best Dance Act, Aris managed to claim the gold award. FHM's j-To-Tha-NAH came behind him to take the silver with bronze being shared by Koon Ek and Hank. In the 'Studious' Award, Charmaine beat Vincent and Phyo to silver and bronze respectively. Hot favorites, Rick and Summer failed to make the mark to emerge as a top 3 winner.
Most 'Irritating' Quote, of course, were won by Yandi's 'Break'. Most Prominent Laugher 'Source' gold award went to (info gone)... The most prestigious award, Most 'Mer-ler-dious' Gold Award, went to the pre-ceremony favorite, Joseph T. The Medias' Choice nominee of the year goes to J.Long for his effort of having a two minutes 'poem' during the event. Even though it sounds so-called logical, yet stupid, the special guests still like it and voted for him. Ms Hazel was overheard saying, "Wasn't he a loveable boy?"
J.Long, who won the most award in the night, lost the Most Beng/Lian award to Jocelyn, the 'lian' who leads the standing till last night... It was another one horse race in the Most Promising Artiste Award. J..Long clinched the title with his role as Singapore's Beng in the popular serials "Where I Belong". Aris also won the award with magnificent performance for "War @ Office" as the chairman, Sugar.
