So there has been a lot of articles about the recent nomination list - TVB 2012, along with their public voting option for Best Actor/Actress/Series. What's your opinion/prediction? I think they've done the public voting all wrong. Shouldn't the people vote for the "Most Favorites" and not the "Best"? Now, being the best is a popularity contest -which IMO fits better with being the favorites like fan favorites.
TVB Anniversary Awards 2012 - Nomination List
Best Actor (TV King)
Wayne Lai - The Confidant
Damian Lau - Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles
Kenneth Ma - The Hippocratic Crush
Raymond Lam - Highs and Lows
Moses Chan - The Last Steep Ascent
Bosco Wong - Witness Insecurity
Joe Ma - Tiger Cubs
Kevin Cheng - Gloves Come Off
Raymond Wong - Gloves Come Off
***I'm pretty sure Raymond Lam is going to win because of his huge fan base. I like Raymond, but I don't think he deserve it. Based on acting, I root for Damian but I'm pretty sure he's pretty much out of the running. I don't think he has any followers at all. Lol. I also like Kenneth in THC. Wayne has been disappointing in TC. He's too masculine in the series. I think if he reverts back to his pig-like role or even be more softer and gentler, it would have been a better and stronger character. I can't believe Raymond is nominated for GCO and not Bottled Passion. He's so much better in BP.***
Best Actress (TV Queen)
Kate Tsui - Highs and Lows
Tavia Yeung - Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles
Myolie Wu - Ghetto Justice II
Michelle Yim - The Confidant
Charmaine Sheh - When Heaven Burns
Aimee Chan - The Last Steep Ascent
Linda Chung - Witness Insecurity
Fala Chen - Queens of Diamonds and Hearts
Niki Chow - Bottled Passion
Liza Wang - Divas In Distress
***With recent promotion, Kate has better chance winning. She's freakin' everywhere! Lol. I root for Tavia, although I don't really like SSSS. I want Michelle to win more though, but she's in the same boat as Damian. I used to like Niki and loved her in the Gentle Crackdown. After seeing her 2 recent series, BP and Seargant Tabloid, I find her boring. She needs better and drarastically different role. Again, WTF is Aimee doing on this list?! Holy crap! Don't get me wrong, she did okay in TLSA, but heck that is not Best Actress acting. She can cry, but that's it. She's like a zombie with no expression in majority of the series. I understand that's the character's personality, but it doesn't take much to sit with a blank face; let alone qualify for Best Actress.***
Best Supporting Actor
Power Chan - The Confidant
Elliot Ngok Wah - The Confidant
Vincent Wong - Silver Spoon, Sterling Shackles
Jazz Lam - Ghetto Justice II
Kenny Wong - The Last Steep Ascent
Koo Ming Wa - Divas In Distress
Him Law - The Hippocratic Crush
Edwin Siu - Daddy Good Deeds
Oscar Leung - L'Escargot
Ram Chiang - Witness Insecurity
***I've also been seeing Ben Wong whinning about not being on the nomination list for his role in HAL. IMHO, I don't think that role is any different than the one in LOO. Then again, I see his frustration when he's not even nominated but first timer (i.e. Aime) getting nominated for Best Actress. Again, WTF??! I really like Edwin in DGD, so I hope he wins. However, I think Power deserves in more.***
Best Supporting Actress
Aimee Chan - The Confidant
Elena Kong - Silver Spoon Sterling Shackles
Eliza Sam - Divas In Distress
Mandy Wong - L'Escargot
Christine Kuo - Ghetto Justice II
Nancy Wu - Gloves Come Off
Law Lan - The Last Steep Ascent
Florence Kwok - King Maker
Rachel Kan - Master of Play
Mary Hon - Three Kingdoms RPG
***Yuck! Aimee is horrible in TC. Can't believe she's on the list again. I think she has a chance as Most Improved, but not Supporting or Best Actress. Way, way too early for her. I personally like Mandy and Nancy. They did great in their series. I'm leaning toward on Nancy more, even though I hated her before I saw in GCO. Heh. Florence should had got nominated for No Good Either Way. I think she was brilliant and the role fitted her so well.***

Him Law
Oscar Leung
King Kong
Edwin Siu
Vincent Wong
***I vote for Oscar or Edwin, but I have a feeling Him will win.***
Most Improved Actress
Eliza Sam
