With the TVB Anniversary to be held on November 19, discussions for the top awards are heating up. Overachievers <商戰> and Come On, Cousin <老表，你好hea!> will be this year’s Anniversary series, increasing the chances for Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) and Roger Kwok (郭晉安) to win TV King. Race For TV King: Wayne Lai vs. Roger Kwok Although Wayne and Roger have already won the award three times and twice respectively, the seasoned veterans continue to impress viewers with their onscreen performances and generate talk for the most coveted awards in Hong Kong television. Wayne’s acting talent has always been recognized, and his career propelled to greater heights after winning Best Actor for his performances in Rosy Business <巾幗梟雄>, No Regrets <義海豪情>, and The Confidant <大太監>. Depending on Overachievers for his fourth Best Actor title, Wayne said, “My confidence level is average – there are still a lot of good competition like Come On, Cousin’s Wong Cho Lam (王祖藍) and Black Heart White Soul’s <忠奸人> Roger Kwok .” Roger grabbed the TV King award for his lovable character, Ah Wong, in Square Pegs <戇夫成龍> and then in the modern spin-off version, Life Made Simple <阿旺新傳>. Roger said, “The last time I got the TV King award was ten years ago already, so my heart is definitely riled up this time. I’m still very enthusiastic about acting. As for the award, the company has its own selection system so it’s hard to guess what will happen,” Roger said. Aired in July, Roger’s performance in Black Heart White Soul was highly praised. With the drama still fresh in viewers’ minds, Roger’s exposure continues with the upcoming broadcast of Come On, Cousin during the Anniversary Awards season. Best Supporting Actor Competition Edwin Siu (蕭正楠) and Raymond Cho (曹永廉) are both in the race for the Best Supporting Actor award. Although Overachievers remains as Edwin’s only series to be broadcast this year, he hopes that the hard work he put into Thai boxing training will pay off and give audiences a refreshing image. Edwin is happy that he was nominated last year and will be supporting good friend, Raymond Cho, for the award this year instead. Edwin joked, “If Raymond doesn’t win this year, and I don’t know when he can get it again. I fully support him. Tell him to remember to thank me, his god-brother, during his acceptance speech!” After receiving praises for his performance in Ghost Dragon of Cold Mountain <寒山潛龍>, it is rumored that Raymond Cho has the highest chances in winning Best Supporting Actor.

“As for the award, the company has its own selection system so it’s hard to guess what will happen,” Roger said. Kind of says it all right here, that he knows it's all about TVB favoring who they want to win it.
