Pre-TVB Anniversary 2011: Nominees' Thoughts Part 2
Cilla Kung: I'm Not Just a Damn Teen
Cilla Kung made a fame with her role as a school girl in "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir." From being a nobody to suddenly becoming otaku's goddess, Cilla said: "This year is the most improved since I made my debut. People called me by my name in the drama. I'm so happy that I get to try different characters and did quite well, proving I'm can act, not just a damn teen." She also thanked high executive Virginia Lok, producers Lau Ka Ho and Mui Siu Ching.
However, Cilla sees Mandy Wong as her biggest rival. She praised Mandy keeps improving and acts very well: "She is generous and decent. I envy she has many opportunities." She thinks Sire Ma benefits from having many on-screen exposure at the end of the year, which made her another popular winner in "Most Improved Female Artist." As for "Most Improved Male Artist," she supports Jazz Lam, pointing out he is an experienced actor and can act in many different roles.

Known for his rapping skills, MC Jin successfully made everyone remember his name with "Lives of Omission." The rapper said he must thank his lucky man, "Laughing Sir": "I thought I would die within 10 episodes. Who knows the response was good and I ended up living, and now I can even take part in the film version of the drama." He didn't fear his chance of winning will be affected because he has no contract with TVB.
After losing in the 2007 Miss Hong Kong Pageant, Mandy Wong joined TVB's acting class and she was given many opportunities after she graduated. Like this year, she performed in several series such as "Lives of Omission", "Ghetto Justice", and "Man With No Shadows." Asked whether she is confident in winning this year's Most Improved," she said: "I did quite well this year. But we all have equal chances, and we made our debut in the same year. We will encourage each other." She thinks Sire Ma is her biggest rival: "I did pay attention to her performance. Besides showing up in many productions, she also keeps improving."

The annual TVB anniversary awards ceremony is coming soon and all nominees must be nervous: would they be the lucky winners this year? This week we will feature the thoughts of some nominees and let them predict who is the winner.
Tavia Yeung and Ruco Chan
This year Ruco Chan and Tavia Yeung are both nominated for TVB's 'My Favorite TV Character Award' for their roles in The Other Truth. Although Ruco has confidence in himself, but he won't be pressured. This was the first series Ruco played the lead role, he thanked Producer Amy Wong and TVB Executive Catherine Tsang for giving him the opportunity. Ruco had always been seen as Catherine's favorite, asked if he hopes Catherine will vote for him? He said: "Of course, but Catherine had always been unbiased. Even if she does vote, it won't be because of me, but will vote based on a balance of qualities from all artists."
When asked who his greatest opponent is? Ruco frankly said: "I have confidence in myself! If I had to choose, I would say Bosco Wong. In fact I believe he definitely has the power to take Best Actor, but if he can't get that award, I still hope he gets the My Favorite TV Male Character award."
As for Tavia Yeung, she expressed she never gives herself pressure. Also she participated in the awards ceremony several years now, whoever wins the awards, she will be happy for them. She said: "Especially this year, many of the candidates are my peers, from the same generation. It feels like a group of students waiting to get their report cards. I actually feel more relaxed." When speaking of her greatest opponent, Tavia laughed and said she was part of the cast of Yes Sir, Sorry Sir, so she supports Miss Koo Linda Chung. She said: "Well I really have to go back to school and talk to the principle there, but even if it sounds selfish, I still have to give myself a vote. If I win, then I'll have an explanation for myself." She also expressed if she gets the award, she will definitely cry and let everything out because that is her true nature.
Moses Chan
Moses Chan, who cheated the relationship with Miss Koo in Yes Sir Sorry Sir is also part of the nominations for My Favorite TV Male Character. He frankly said this year he doesn't have too much confidence because his role isn't worth flattering. Asked if its because his role cheated on a relationship? He said: "Actually I don't care about this. As an artist, we are used to fluctuate audiences' emotions. I don't have confidence in myself, but instead I support Linda Chung. She really was outstanding in the crying scenes. Let's see if she's lucky or not!"

In addition, Nancy's character in "Curse of the Royal Harem" is criticized by netizens as very mean. As for that, she said: "Many of my colleagues called me mean. I feel the same way when I was watching it. But I feel satisfied, because that means I was very into the character."

Miriam Yeung is 2-months Pregnant?
Miriam Yeung and husband Real Ding have been trying hard to become parents after they tied the knot. The singer even planned to temporarily put all her work on hold just to prep herself to be a mom. But now no need to anymore! Based on the following clues, it's known the 37-year-old is about 2-months pregnant:
1. Meeting doctor specializes in Chinese medicine
The couple have been visiting a famous doctor in Taiwan who is known for solving pregnancy difficulties. They have been photographed visiting the doctor several times.
When she went out, the fashionable singer actually covered her belly with a big scarf and loose shirt. Her assistant got nervous when she saw reporters and immediately stood in front of Miriam.
In her last show, Miriam has visibly gained weight and all her performing clothes became loose ones. Always loved wearing high heels, this time she only wore thick heels and during the night she even took off her shoes.
The possible mom-to-be still decided to keep her pregnancy a secret. She admitted she is very traditional and is afraid of revealing before 3 months: "No stress, but I'm very traditional and afraid the more I say it, the more I won't get it."
Husband Real also refused to confirm, only replied in a text, saying no reply at the moment and thank you everyone.

Finally a baby for the heavenly king!
There are reports last week reporting Andy Lau's wife Carol Chu, 45, is finally pregnant via IVF. After being crowned as the Golden Horse film king last night, the happy Andy decided to tell everyone another happy news:
"Ok, let's talk about family matters," he wrote on his official website. "I understand my beloved family has been praying for that matter...so now *a baby is on the way, hope to share this happiness with everyone."
(*Andy didn't directly say that, but that's the actual meaning from his hint)
Famous radio host Char Siu Yan also confirmed this news. She expressed she texted the actor to congratulate him and received a thank-you reply.
The couple has been trying hard to have a child the past 3 years. There were constant baby rumors circulating during the period but none of them was true. Now they are finally parents-to-be, let's wish them the best!

2011 TVB 44th Anniversary Awards
Another year! This year's anniversary awards will be held NEXT MONDAY (December 5, 2011) and YES, I will be updating the results immediately like old times! Stay tuned :D
But for now, why don't we make predictions on the winners? Basically EVERYONE from EVERY DRAMA is nominated, AS ALWAYS. But obviously, we have popular favorites so let's look into that.
Best Actor
Kevin Cheng (Ghetto Justice) vs. Michael Tse (Lives of Omission)
Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Bosco Wong (Lives of Omission, Wayne Lai (Forensic Heroes 3), Steven Ma (The Life and Times of a Sentinel)
Sorry to 2-time TV king Wayne Lai, but this year's competition is between "Law Ba" and "Laughing Gor". Very tough to say...but I'm for Kevin.
Best Actress
Myolie Wu (The Curse of the Royal Harem) vs. Fala Chen (Lives of Omission)
Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Maggie Cheung (Forensic Heroes 3), Jessica Hsuan (Curse of the Royal Harem), Liza Wang (Home Troopers)
Everyone just keeps congratulating Myolie Wu right now. But tbh I seriously don't think she did well enough in this drama to crown TV queen. She is improved, but winning with this drama? Hmm...
My Favorite Male Character
Michael Tse (Lives of Omission) vs. Kevin Cheng (Ghetto Justice) vs. Bosco Wong (Lives of Omission)
Usually whoever doesn't get TV king, TVB comforts you with this award.
My Favorite Female Character
Linda Chung (Yes Sir, Sorry Sir) vs. Sharon Chan (Ghetto Justice) vs. Fala Chan (Lives of Omission)
Linda Chung's "Miss Koo" was definitely one of the characters of the year. I didn't watch the series but the general rule is, if the media is for you, you are most likely to get the award. Then if Fala didn't win TV Queen, she gets this "pork award".
Best Supporting Actor
Ben Wong (Lives of Omission) vs. Sam Lee (Ghetto Justice)
Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Cheung Kwok Keung (The Life and Times of a Sentinel), Patrick Tang (7 Days in Life)
Everyone is basically up for "Lak Geun Gor" right now. The possible opponent I can think of is Sam Lee.
Best Supporting Actress
Sharon Chan (Ghetto Justice) vs. Nancy Wu (Forensic Heroes 3)
Possibly in the top 5 nomination: Elena Kong (Lives of Omission), Aimee Chan (The Other Truth), Gigi Wong (Curse of the Royal Harem
Sharon Chan did so well in "Ghetto Justice" that I think she would definitely win something this year! Nancy didn't have a big part in FH3 but she did a good job still. Impressed.
Most Improved Actor
MC Jin vs. King Kong vs. Jazz Lam
I feel like TVB would favor MC Jin a little. King Kong and Jazz Lam were also last year's nominees for the same category. Jazz definitely has lots of potentials.
Most Improved Actress
Cilla Lok vs. Mandy Wong
Cilla received lots of attention after she starred in "Yes Sir, Sorry Sir." But personally I think Mandy performs a little better, as she can play different roles while Cilla is generally restricted as a young teen.
Best Drama
Ghetto Justice vs. Forensic Heroes 3 vs. Lives of Omission vs. The Other Truth
Popular series vs. Anniversary series! What do you think?
