The TVB Star Awards Malaysia 2013 was held successfully last night at Kenanga Wholesale City. A successor to the former My AOD Favourites Awards, TVB Star Awards Malaysia is organized to honour the best or most popular of TVB series of the respective year. The result is decided fully by online voting and that only Malaysians were eligible to vote. I did vote once on all the categories after just a few simple steps of registering on its official website few weeks ago. Changing the awards name this time may means that Hong Kong’s TVB started to even gaining control of the awards here in Malaysia.
I was not able to watch the live broadcast of the awards presentation last night as I had to attend my neighbour’s wedding dinner at the same time. I heard the show lasted slightly over two hours and was attended by huge number of TVB artists including Kenneth Ma, Tavia Yeung, Myolie Wu, Ron Ng, Julian Cheung, Him Law, Eliza Sam, Benjamin Yuen, Ruco Chan, Linda Chung, Krystal Tin, Edwin Siu, Nancy Wu, Mandy Wong, Eric Tsang, etc. Here below is the full of list of winners of the ceremony (full nomination list in my previous post: http://vincentloy.wordpress.com/2013/11/02/tvb-star-awards-malaysia-2013-nomination-list/) The list of result below is accompanied with a bit of my comments:
My Favourite TVB Drama Series : TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES II
Comment: Expected. Eventhough ‘Triumph in the Skies II’ isn’t that great, but its immense popularity will let it win this easily. As for measuring in quality, ‘Brother’s Keeper’ is better.
My Favourite TVB Actor in a Leading Role: CHILAM CHEUNG (TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES II)
Comment: Also expected. His charming portrayal as Captain Cool won the hearts of many young girls, hence countless of votes. By looking at this result, I am reminded again that this is not best actor award, just my favourite leading actor award. Ruco Chan in ‘Brother’s Keeper’ is better.
My Favourite TVB Actress in a Leading Role: LINDA CHUNG (BROTHER’S KEEPER)
Comment: Similar thought with above. Linda Chung’s character in Brother Keeper’s isn’t outstanding or worthy of best actress material. However, since most people think it should be time for her, then I had no comment. I prefer Tavia Yeung from ‘The Hippocratic Crush II’ to win this again.
My Favourite TVB Actor in a Supporting Role: HIM LAW (TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES II)
My Favourite TVB Actress in a Supporting Role: NANCY WU (TRIUMPH IN THE SKIES II)
Comment: Boring to see two of them winning supporting roles again. I’m sure there are other also deserving nominees like Pierre Ngo or Elena Kong. Similarly, this is purely on who’s more popular, hence no problem to Him and Nancy.
My Favourite TVB Most Promising Actor : BENJAMIN YUEN
My Favourite TVB Promising Actress: ELIZA SAM
Comment: One of the few result of the night that I’m satisfied with. Benjamin and Eliza were seen improving in their performances, particularly for Eliza in ‘The Hippocratic Crush II’.
My Favourite TVB On-Screen Couple: KENNETH MA, TAVIA YEUNG (THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH II)
Comment: It couldn’t be denied that Kenneth and Tavia really makes up for a real sweet couple on-screen. They win this award last year too. Him Law, step aside please.

My Favourite TVB Drama Theme Song: JOEY YUNG – “SEQUEL” (THE HIPPOCRATIC CRUSH II)
Comment: Expected. The ‘Sequel’ song by Joey Yung stood out above the rest. Too bad, she isn’t there to sing this song live. But if compared with the first series’ theme song (also by Joey), the first one is nicer.
My Favourite TVB Documentary: PILGRIMAGE OF HOPE
My Favourite TVB Variety Show: SUPER TRIO MAXIMUS
My Favourite TVB Variety Show Host: ERIC TSANG, CHIN KA LOK, JERRY LAMB, ETC. – SUPER TRIO MAXIMUS
Comment: No doubt ‘Super Trio Maximus’ winning these two awards. The show will never stop from bringing us fun and laughter. Very entertaining game show accompanied with superb huge line-up of hosts.
What’s next? The much anticipated TVB 46th Anniversary Awards 2013, to be held on 16 December.
