The official nominations for this year’s TVB Anniversary Awards <萬千星輝頒獎典禮> were revealed at a press conference on November 27. TVB invited some of the competing artists to a press conference to help unveil the official nominations for all fourteen categories. Perhaps due to the artists’ busy schedules, only Kenneth Ma (馬國明) and Edwin Siu (蕭正楠) appeared to represent the Best Actor contestants. Although his colleagues have already acknowledged him as a TV King, Kenneth remains humble, saying he would be lucky to be placed in the top five. Edwin shares these sentiments and is not confident about his chances. However, with four nominations this year, Edwin will likely earn a spot in the winner’s circle. Although Tavia Yeung (楊怡) and Niki Chow (周麗淇) are opponents in this year’s TV Queen fight, both are maintaining a normal mindset and appeared happy and relaxed. Niki jokingly urged Tavia to consider marriage should she win again this year, and became bashful when a reporter encouraged her to do the same. When asked to discuss her rumored love Him Law (羅仲謙), who is nominated for the Most Improved Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, Tavia quipped that Him is too old to take the Most Improved award and hopes he wins for his supporting role instead. Since many of the hot contenders were absent, other nominated artists were able to speak their minds for the very first time. Joey Meng (萬綺雯) teared up when her Best Actress nomination was announced. She is happy to be acknowledged and gives her support to former ATV colleague Kristal Tin (田蕊妮). Heavily promoted newcomer Priscilla Wong (黃翠如) nabbed three nominations for Most Improved Actress, My Favorite Female Character, and Best Program Host. She was unable to cover up her excitement, though was uncertain about her chances because she is still inexperienced. The public poll will open officially at midnight on December 2, and the results will be announced at the awards ceremony on December 16. The Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Drama awards will be determined by public votes and a professional judging panel. The Favorite Male Character and Favorite Female Character winners will be selected by public votes. The Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Most Improved Actor, Most Improved Actress, Best Hot, Best Variety Program, and Best Informative Program will be chosen by a professional judging panel and TVB artists.
