My AOD Favourites Awards 2012 Official Result


My home has Astro but we do not subscribe to Astro on Demand that provides latest Hong Kong dramas. That is why I couldn’t get to watch the live broadcast of My AOD Favourites Awards 2012 yesterday’s night which is only aired on Astro on Demand channel. But then, I stay updated too with Hong Kong’s latest series. The Malaysia’s My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards 2012 was held yesterday at Sunway Convention Centre and was attended by 16 TVB artists, hence making it the award show with highest attendance of TVB artists held oversea (outside Hong Kong). The artists attending were Mandy Wong, Nancy Wu, Kate Tsui, Myolie Wu, Moses Chan, Roger Kwok, Tavia Yeung, Michael Tse, Raymond Lam, Kevin Cheng, Wayne Lai, Oscar Leung, Him Law, Ron Ng, Koo Ming Wah as confirmed earlier. And then at that awards night, Kenneth Ma turned up surprisingly too, making up to 16 in total, and all of them are heavyweight artists.

Well, their presence at that night actually is a confirmation that everyone of them would be receiving at least an award from a total of 26 awards given out. It acts as an early prize for them before another round of much serious battle at the upcoming TVB 45th Anniversary Awards 2012 to be held on 17th December at Hong Kong. I was glad that this Malaysia’s awards presentation is getting bigger in scale and more popular, and that it is able to invite so many popular artists to the country. However, I find the number of awards presented is a bit too much, making the awards appear so easy to be given out to as many individuals as possible and unchallenging. Hence, I prefer the awards for top 15 drama characters to be reduced to top 10 or even only top 5.

Without wasting any more time, I would post the official result here below with my overall comments in the end. Before that, you can view the nomination list of this awards released quite a long time ago from one of my earlier posts found in my blog here too. By the way, congratulation to all the winners, and may this awards presentation gets more and more popularity and broadcast live to all Astro subscribers (unlike now showing only to Astro on Demand subscribers).

Many others have voiced out their satisfaction and positive feedbacks over this result, saying that this result is much pleasing to major audiences, compared to TVB’s decision that is too biased to certain artists or dramas in their awards presentation. Finally, Kenneth Ma took the best actor (most favourite actor in leading role)! His hard work is paid off. Sorry to Raymond Lam, as I find Kenneth performed better this year as Yat Kin in The Hippocratic Crush. Tavia Yeung is likeable as Zi Yu at the same series too, so giving best actress for her isn’t a problem as she had been in acting career longer than her other threatening opponent, Kate Tsui as a controversial drug queen in Highs and Lows. But at TVB awards 2012, I see that Kate Tsui had a higher chance. Yes, on-screen couples goes to Kenneth Ma and Tavia Yeung in the same series. They are so compatible and had chemistry together in the series. Love them both. Drama song goes to Raymond Lam for his theme at Highs and Lows. Well, that’s a good song but I still prefer the theme song for The Hippocratic Crush by Joey Yung. However, since The Hippocratic Crush sweep most of the awards, and so one major one is left for Highs and Lows. I am very happy that The Hippocratic Crush did so well eventhough it is aired earlier this year. Too bad, Michelle Yim didn’t get any award from The Confidant (and yet, Wayne Lai did). I hope she gets one but this awards gave disadvantage to The Confidant as it hasn’t finish airing yet. For favourite actor in supporting role, I actually prefer Power Chan over Him Law for his wonderful performance at The Confidant, but like I said earlier, many Malaysian audiences have voted even before the release of The Confidant. Well, can they broadcast this awards presentation on Channel Wah Lai Toi (311) soon? I want to watch it eventhough it’s over.

My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards 2012 Nomination List


TVB had their own annual Anniversary Awards back in Hong Kong. For Malaysia, in several years ago, we have Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards running for around five to seven years before it is cancelled to make way for the up-to-date My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards not long after Astro on Demand is offered to Malaysian citizens showing the latest TVB dramas concurrently with audiences in Hong Kong. The Malaysia’s awards presentation which is slightly humble continue this year with more awards to be presented as two new categories are introduced; ‘My Favourite Promising Character Award’ and ‘My Favourite Classic Role’.

This awards which is usually held earlier than the much prestigious and popular TVB Anniversary Awards always serve as a hint of winners at the TVB awards as winners selected from My AOD Awards will be then awarded too for similar category in TVB Awards in past years. Well, now without wasting much time, let us have a look at the nomination list which I believed had already been released a week or two earlier without me noticing it. The awards presentation will be held at Sunway Convention Centre on 2nd December 2012.

This awards would be a disadvantage to ‘The Confidant’ as the series would not be finished airing at the time of the awards and that people usually cast their votes earlier and yet this series isn’t released yet currently. Well, it just gets into nomination but it’s certainly unfair to this heavyweight drama. One of my favourite dramas of the year, ‘The Hippocratic Crush’ receives the most nominations and I do hope it would certainly wins in some categories. It’s really a good drama but too bad, it is released early this year and many would have forgotten the impact from this meaningful medical-based drama. I think this awards would benefits dramas released earlier while TVB awards would usually goes for their promoting dramas usually released in end of the year.

Here’s below is the official nomination list for the My AOD Favourites Awards 2012. The one with a small star at the end is my top picks (5 usually) while the bolded ones are either my choice or to win.  If you are a Malaysian and an Astro subscriber, you can cast a vote on its website: http://zhongwen.astro.com.my/AODAwards/home.aspx.

My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards 2011


Yesterday was the night for My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards 2011, held once every year, beginning from last year to replace the previous Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards. This is the up-to-date awards held in Malaysia, with Hong Kong series by TVB contested concurrently with the annual TVB Anniversary Awards. This is also the first year there is a stage presentation with audiences to bring up the scale of the awards.

The Hong Kong artists invited and present on yesterday’s night are guaranteed winners, which quite a number of artists accepted the invitation and arrived in Malaysia for the awards presentation. They are sure to return to Hong Kong not empty-handed. The TVB artists in attendance are Nancy Wu, Vincent Wong, Raymond Wong, Michael Tse, Raymond Lam, Wayne Lai, Kate Tsui, Myolie Wu, Bosco Wong, Tavia Yeung, Sharon Chan, Ron Ng, Ruco Chan, Kevin Cheng. So, 14 artists attended, in a similar scale with the attendance on former Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards that is replaced by this awards. The artists didn’t have their best appearance on the night with lack of effort on their dressing as observed.

The winning list:

My Favorite Actor in a Leading Role: Kevin Cheng (Ghetto Justice)
My Favorite Actress in a Leading Role: Myolie Wu (Curse of the Royal Harem)
My Favorite Actor in a Supporting Role: Raymond Wong (Twilight Investigations)
My Favorite Actress in a Supporting Role: Sharon Chan (Ghetto Justice)
My Favorite Promising Actor: Vincent Wong (Gun Metal Grey)
My Favorite Promising Actress: Nancy Wu (Gun Metal Grey)
My Favorite On Screen Couple: Michael Tse and Fala Chen (Lives of Omission)
My Favorite Drama Theme Song: Michael Tse (Lives of Omission)
My Favorite Drama Series: Ghetto Justice
My Favorite Top 15 Drama Characters:
Michael Tse (Lives of Omission)
Fala Chen (Lives of Omission)
Wayne Lai (Forensic Heroes 3)
Myolie Wu (Curse of the Royal Harem)
Ruco Chan (The Other Truth)
Kevin Cheng (Ghetto Justice)
Chilam Cheung (Rippling Blossom)
Tavia Yeung (The Other Truth)
Kate Tsui (Forensic Heroes 3)
Kenneth Ma (Life and Times of a Sentinel)
Bosco Wong (Lives of Omission)
Moses Chan (Yes Sir, Sorry Sir)
Linda Chung (Yes Sir, Sorry Sir)
Ron Ng (Forensic Heroes 3)
Raymond Lam (Men With No Shadows)
There are quite a number of awards up for grab, with the presence of 15 drama characters awards, which appears to be consolation prizes to majority of the actors and actresses. I’m quite glad and satisfied with the result, which might be an indication for the result of the upcoming much grander, TVB 2011 Anniversary Awards to be held in early December (see the nomination list for this award in my previous post). Eventhough ‘Curse of the Royal Harem’ is still in half way of airing, but Myolie Wu totally deserved the award of most favourite actress in leading role, making her as Malaysia’s TV Queen of the year.  Congratulation to Kevin Cheng for taking home Malaysia’s version of TV King too. You see…Michael Tse does not receive as much hype as like in Hong Kong, and so he received only small awards. He is still not up to the level of TV King at the moment despite his rising popularity as Laughing Gor for the Malaysians. Ghetto Justice won Best Series, and I haven’t watch it. Now, it’s holiday for me, and I think I should find a time to watch it to see whether it truly deserves to get the Best Series award. Now, these TVB artists are back to Hong Kong to get ready for TVB Anniversary Awards 2011.
Congratulations once again to the winners of Malaysia’s My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards 2011! This award should be organized in much bigger scale in future onwards, to attract more media attention as well as more Hong Kong artists!

MY AOD Favourites Awards 2010 Nomination List

I remember at the beginning of the year, I was expecting Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards 2009, but then there are no news at all about it, so I bet it is cancelled, and Astro had organized MY Music Awards 2010 at the beginning of the year. Hence, Astro will not put a sum of money for event like this anymore. Luckily, AOD came to the topic, by organizing this awards! Hoping this awards to be a success, much better than previous ones (I mean Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards), and also hoping for more TVB artists to come over to attend the awards presentation. Actually, it is just a continuity from Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards, but now Malaysia is updated with TVB series in same time with Hong Kong (hence name changed to AOD that shows latest TVB series). Haha…all the TVB artists would be very busy at the end of the year for two important occasions, one in Hong Kong, and another one in Malaysia!
