The one-vote-per-person system for the TVB Anniversary Awards only lasted one year. In the upcoming 2013 awards ceremony on December 16, a large number of the company’s crew members will be reportedly determining the winners of the Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Drama awards. The audience would still get to cast their votes, but it will only account for 50 percent of the results. This new implementation has led to wide speculation that TVB secretly chose its winners beforehand and made decisions that will benefit the company. The public claimed that last year’s results were the most fair, where Wayne Lai (黎耀祥), Tavia Yeung (楊怡), and the drama When Heaven Burns <天與地> won the main awards of the night. In the years before 2012, a panel of seven judges, including executives and managers Tommy Leung (梁家樹), Catherine Tseng (曾勵珍), Sandy Yue (余詠珊), and Mark Lee (李寶安), were always the ones who selected the award winners for the three most important awards. A brand new system will be in place this year, in which the judging will be done by a group of over one hundred backstage crew members consisting of editors and producers. On the other hand, the My Favorite Male and Female Character awards will be completely determined by the public audience. Asked why TVB has decided to pass the decision-making to crew members, Sandy Yue replied, “The producers and editors are the ones who understand the artists’ acting potentials most.” Ms. Yue added, “Everything regarding the award system is still in discussion.” Creds: Ming Pao
50% of the vote would be fine if they aren't bias but it's hard to make it totally fair, so I think it's fine, we don't want it 100% viewer voting cause it'll end up be a popularity contest which no one wants.
I thought they were getting professional judges?? TVB Crews arent professional to me. That would have worked so much better if they had legit professional judges. Leaving the audience for TVB King & Queen isn't good imo.. cause that's no different than My Favourite Character cause it's popularity.
