Before the final nominees for the TVB 45th anniversary award ceremony were revealed, Malaysia’s Astro on Demand has announced the list of final nominees for this year’s Astro on Demand Favorite Awards. A quick glance at the list revealed the two popular TVB dramas, The Hippocratic Crush <On Call 36 小時> and Highs and Low <雷霆掃毒>, received the most nominations, as their popularity outshined many TVB series this year. One of the nominated TVB dramas, The Confidant <大太監>, will not air until November 5. Compared to other series that have already aired, The Confidant may be at a disadvantage to win due to the late broadcasting date. This year’s Astro on Demand Awards added two new awards, “My Favorite Promising Character Actor” and “My Favorite Classic Role”. This is a good opportunity for character actors to win an award, and also a chance to resurrect the audience’s favorite roles within the past few years. The Hippocratic Crush, Highs and Lows, King Maker <造王者), Ghetto Justice 2 <怒火街頭2>, and The Last Steep Ascent <天梯>, received nominations for My Favorite TV Series. Many actors from these popular dramas are nominees for the favorite leading actor/actress and favorite supporting actor/actress awards. During last year’s TVB award ceremony, Jason Chan (陳智燊) lost the award for Most Improved Actor to MC Jin (歐陽靖). In this year’s Astro awards, Jason is competing again with MC Jin for the My Favorite Most Improved Actor award. Eliza Sam (岑麗香), had her first supporting role this year, and is nominated for My Favorite Most Improved Actress. Aimee Chan (陳茵媺), Jason Chan, Florence Kwok (郭少芸), Koo Ming Wah (古明華) were in Malaysia for the announcement of this year’s nominees. All four of them are very happy to be nominated and indicated their desires to win the awards. The hardworking and low-key Koo Ming Wah happily said, “Florence and I both have been acting since the 90s and this is the best moment to be nominated. It may be our last chance to win. It doesn’t matter whether we win or lose. I think being nominated will give us a better chance to grow and develop our career.” 2012 Astro on Demand Awards Nominees List: My Favorite TV Series 1.
