The TVB Anniversary Awards will be held on December 13, 2015. Aside from the TV King and Queen awards, many viewers are also looking forward to seeing who will win Most Improved Male and Female Artist. This year, twelve artists are nominated for the category, two more than previous years. Grace Chan (陳凱琳) will be competing against Tracy Chu (朱千雪), Rosina Lam (林夏薇), Ali Lee (李佳芯), Jacqueline Wong (黃心穎), and Rebecca Zhu (朱晨麗) for Most Improved Female Artist. The former Miss Hong Kong winner is nominated for her lead performances in Raising the Bar <四個女仔三個BAR> and the TVB anniversary drama, Captain of Destiny <張保仔>. This year is Grace’s second year to be nominated for Most Improved Female Artist. The 24-year-old expressed her confidence at winning, explaining that 2015 has been a very productive and eye-opening year for her. Captain of Destiny was her first drama as a lead actress, and although her performance was panned by critics, it gave her more career opportunities. “This is a very important award for me,” said Grace. “Many things have happened this year, and I’ve received more opportunities this year compared to last year. Whether it’s filming dramas or hosting, I do hope to continue improving. I also believe that everyone has seen my improvements and hard work.” Grace Chan supports her Captain of Destiny costar, Tony Hung (洪永城), to win Most Improved Male Artist. Before he dabbed into acting, the 32-year-old was best-known for his travelogue programs. His travel series Not Far But Away <在那遙遠的地方> won My Favorite TVB Variety Program in Singapore this year. 2015 was a breakthrough year for Tony, who landed his first lead drama with Captain of Destiny. The actor considers the anniversary drama, which won My Favorite TVB Drama in Singapore and Malaysia, to be his representative work. He hopes to continue achieving breakthroughs in the future. Tony expressed that he is facing strong competition this year for the Most Improved Male Artist award, but he has confidence in himself. “I am happy to be able to compete for this award with Benjamin Yuen (袁偉豪), William Chak (翟威廉), and Mat Yeung (楊明),” he said.
