The nominees had been revealed! So was the nominees expected? I think it's a big fat NO! For the first time, CHEN HAN WEI name was not there! Perhaps it's time for Tay Ping Hui??? Hope so, for the sake of some formal recognition of his acting skills.
As expected, Breakout (Mediacorp's mega production) has so called dominated a majority of the nominees. You can't fault Mediacorp, since I believe the company had spend quite a number of fortune on the productions. And also as in previous years, Mediacorp's long running series (Your Hand In My) had quite a few nominations.
Best Actor
Christopher Lee - Breakout
Elvin Ng - Breakout
Qi Yu Wu - The Family Court
Tay Ping Hui - The Family Court
Shaun Chen - Your Hand in Mine
Christopher had not been on the google box for a long while. Elvin's role is quite good and creative. But somehow I think he overdid it. anyway, Breakout is not a very nice drama if u ask me. It is not just the acting, but the so unrealistic script. Channel 8 drama ought to be something whereby it is realistic and simple.
Shaun Chen nomination here is quite unexpected. Actually I had forgotten about him in his role of the bad guy in Your Hand In Mine. But his acting is quite consistent, especially so for such a long drama (180 episodes). His nomination clearly shows the efforts he had put in. With him pitting against big names like Christopher and Tay ping Hui, chances of him winning is very slim.
Best Actor would be a contest between Christopher and Tay Ping Hui, and I definitely hope Tay Ping Hui will win after being nominated in the same category for donkey years. It is nice to see a fresh face once a while.
Best Actress
Chen Li Ping - Unriddle
Jeanette Aw - Breakout
Zhou Ying - Breakout
Joanne Peh - Your Hand in Mine
Rui En - With You
Chen Li Ping has once against showed the audience her worth. But she ought to be nominated for her role in Your Hand In Mine too, with her catch phrase, 雞蛋炒鴨蛋。Jeanette Aw, with her weird accent in Breakout sure had diminished her chance. Anyway, she had been nominated since 2009 till now and had yet to win, edging out to Joanne Peh and Chen Li Ping. It just shows she is good enough for just a nomination, but not an award. Anyway, both Joanne and Jeanette's Wikipedia page does not have their photos, compared to Rui En. Joanne Peh is fun to watch in Your Hand In Mine, especially so for her role as Jin Lian.
Rui En, with her serious acting in Unriddle is also quite a joy to watch too. But Unriddle is a show where the script is interesting too, and it complements well with the actress acting. Zhou Ying, with her nice naïve acting, is quite an overkill.
Best Actress would be going to Rui En for sure. It is now her time to shine.
Best Supporting Actor
Andie Chen - Precious Babes
Darren Lim - Breakout
Terence Cao - The Best Things In Life
Yao Wen Long - The Family Court
Zzen - Unriddle
The first thing that came to my mind is Terence Cao. Either he gets it or don't. I dare say the competition here is the widest because all the nominees have equal chances of winning the award. Darren with his usual comical acting certainly is tops, but wont one be tired of such acting??? But still, he's the one with the experience.
Best Supporting Actress
Ann Kok - The Family Court
Cynthia Koh - Happy Family
Lin Mei Jiao - Breakout
Pan Ling Ling - Breakout
Xiang Yun – Unriddle
Ann Kok, who had quite a few roles recently is up for another nomination. Will she win this time round? Or will veteran Pan Ling Ling and Xiang Yun win? Pan Ling Ling ought to be also nominate for her role in Your Hand In Mine as Dolly.
