Although in the running for Best Actor at the TVB Anniversary Awards for five years, Kenneth Ma (馬國明) failed to receive the award for his role in Lord of Shanghai <梟雄>. Many expressed sympathy for Kenneth, especially since it was Kenneth’s fifth time being nominated for the award. The closest that Kenneth came to winning was in 2012, when he was nominated for his well-received role in the popular drama, The Hippocratic Crush <On Call 36小時>, but he was unfortunately lost out to Wayne Lai (黎耀祥). As Kenneth was nominated this year, but again lost, netizens dubbed him as “TVB Anniversary Awards Professional Sidekick”. However, some netizens pointed out that while Kenneth did not win TV King, he had received many valuable career opportunities which allowed him to film enviable intimate scenes with many A-list actresses. The netizens cited Kenneth’s scene with Alice Chan (陳煒兼) in Lord of Shanghai as an example. Linda Chung Fails to Win TV Queen for 6 Years Kenneth may be comforted to know that he is not the only artiste who has been consistently nominated and failed to win. With a similar plight, Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) has been nominated for TV Queen six years in a row but has failed to obtain the award each time. Some netizens pointed out that Linda’s acting is actually decent, but she has not received a role in which she could truly demonstrate her potential. Another netizen, in a tone that bore a mix of encouragement and mockery, commented that Ka Hung Wei (韋家雄) waited for 20 years before finally receiving his Best Supporting Actor award, implying that Linda still had time to wait.

I like Kenneth Ma, but he is very far behind in this year's TV King contention. Ruco's role is just TOO unforgettable to me. He made, in my opinion a shitty drama very watchable...If I can download the entire CoD series and just cut it short with just his scenes in it, I would watch the crap out of it. Other than that, Anthony, and Wayne's acting is just on another level. If this was any other year, and with kenneth's role in 36 hours, he would be in my top 2 in my opinion. But this year just too much strong veterans imo
his best chance was for 36....come to think of it he hasnt had many memorble roles he is a good actor though i feel like tvb dont give him good chars maybe give him one of rogers weird roles lol he's ALOT better than Moses or Kevins
He has not reach that point yet, same with Linda. I like them but they hadn't got the luck or the skills to win it big yet.
True, Kenneth is good but not enough compare to Anthony and Wayne....and Linda...i liked her but now i dont....her singing in every dramas makes me sick and her acting isnt improving at all....
