When the results were released, not only did she not get the TV Queen title, but she also lost the "My Favorite Female Character Award" and left the ceremony with nothing.

Leaving empty-handed, Charmaine Sheh appeared quite happy after the ceremony, she frankly said that she is not disappointed: "Every one of them deserved the awards, I am happy for them. ("Beyond" didn't do so well?) Tavia Yeung represented the series, I am very satisfied with the results, next year will get more. (Will you celebrate?) I already kissed Ah Yi (Tavia), let's see if she'll treat me for a meal. Actually I am rather disappointed that didn't get Best Series Award."

Sheren said: "Thank you to all my colleagues, I am really happy. Thank you TVB, Ping Wai, Stephen Chan, Virgina Lok. Thank you Mrs. Tsang for giving me such a great role for me to portray and for believing in me. Every time I attend award ceremonies, there are always many rumors. I want to say that TVB doesn't need me to sign a long contract and still give me good series to film, this is what I'm most pleased about. I thank all the friends, Netizens and all viewers for supporting me. Thank you Producer for not finding me annoying for always asking why, thank you Tim Gor for the good script, it's the first time he used me. I thank all of the scriptwriters!"

Sheren calmly talked about her feelings for winning the awards backstage, she said: "I am really happy, I got all the awards that I hoped to get. The series and Tim Gor both got awards also. Tonight female cast members all wore white, while the male cast wore black. We didn't plan this out before, it was such a coincidence. Thank God!" In response to Sheren becoming the new TV Queen, Netizens wrote online: "Long Live 4th Mistress!"

Thank you Stephen Chan, your praises are my encouragement. I have to clarify that Mrs. Virgina Lok has never forced me to sign a contact. I thank Catherine Tsang for bringing be back into TVB back then. She told me: 'Come back to acting', actually I have always been acting, but not many people watched me. If there wasn't you, there won't be me today. I hope to share my honor with the three most important people in my life: My mother, Wife and My Son."

Yesterday Miriam Yeung attended an anti-drug fund "A Bright Future" press conference as the ambassador. The purpose is to encourage young students to participate in the anti-drug essay contest. Miriam recalls when she was studying, she wrote a piece and submitted it to the newspapers. She felt that her writing wasn't too bad, but unfortunately it never got published. Miriam said: "Before I wrote on the column for a magazine, I wrote about women's best things." But she has never thought about writing a song for her wedding next year, she dated her husband for several years and has never written love letters before. Miriam could not help but to ask herself: "Why haven't I written any love letters? He didn't, he only wrote me a card. Maybe I have no patience, sometimes I wanted to text message him, but after typing two words I decided to just call him." Asked if she would tell her husband to write her a song to sing? Miriam laughed and said that Real Ting likes to sing more than writing songs.

Wong Hei's role in "Burning Flame III" as [A Niu] had a bumpy and rough life story, but his role is pleasing for the viewers, and it also garners everyone's compassion. Even though he was rumored to be in bad terms with the fellow series actor, Kevin Cheng, but it didn't make the viewers love him less, and he also even is nominated as the 'Best Actor' and 'My Favorite Male Character' in the TVB Anniversary Awards 2009.

Wong Hei thinks that the outside world doesn't really know him that well, it often has some misunderstandings about him: "I didn't join any acting classes, once I joined the showbiz, I just kept filming right away. That's why there are lots of misunderstandings about me. 10 years ago, I was working hard to prove myself to everyone, I didn't use stunt men, I used my blood and sweat to show to everyone that I'm sincere!" He honestly expressed that he doesn't expect to have double happiness on that Anniversary night, because he knows the score: "To me, the TV King is Wayne Lai. I cannot think of any reason of why he could lose. If I don't get the award, it's because I didn't do it well enough, as I could have acted a bit better. But if I do get it, then I'll have to work harder to repay the viewers' support!"

The hot favourite for Best Actress, Charmaine Sheh and Tavia Yeung did not attend the blessing ceremony for TVB Anniversary Awards yesterday. Due to this, everyone starts guessing whether they have prepared to lose out on awards presentation night but both of them denied this.

The fighting for the Best Actress award this year is intense. Charmaine Sheh and Tavia Yeung are picked as hot favourite for Best Actress award based on their roles, Lau Sam Ho and Yiu Kam Ling in Beyond The Realm Of Conscience. Another hot favourite is “Fourth Mistress” Sheren Tang. Yesterday, it was said that Wayne Lai and Sheren Tang will win Best Actor and Best Actress award this year.

Therefore, Charmaine Sheh and Tavia Yeung did not attend the blessing ceremony together. It is hard to avoid the guessing amongst peoples that they have already prepared to lose out. Tavia Yeung said, “Of course not! This is because I went for a commercial shooting and couldn’t attend the blessing ceremony.” When asked whether she will feel not worthy if she is unable to win Best Actress award although the ratings for the series was successful, she said, “We cannot use the ratings to measure the performance of the female lead!” Regarding Best Performance award which was added this year, Tavia Yeung did not know anything about it. She said, “Huh? Really? I don’t know there is such an award! (Is it consolation award?) I don’t think so. It will be much happier if more peoples have chance to gain awards.”

Still happy no matter win or lose

Tavia Yeung who portrayed villain role for the first time, is the most junior amongst the hot favourite for Best Actress. She expressed that she already felt being promoted due to the nomination. When asked whether she has confidence to win the award, she said, “Actually, Sheren Tang is my selected choice for Best Actress. This is because her acting skills are lively. It is natural and doesn’t seem like she is acting. I really admire her. I never thought of win or lose. If I win, of course I will be happy but even if I lose out, I will be happy for others.”

Charmaine Sheh explained that she needed to attend the press conference for [72 Tenants], shoot movie poster and MV and therefore couldn’t attend the blessing ceremony. “This was arranged by company.” She denied on preparing to lose out. When asked if supposing the one who wins is herself and not Sheren Tang, will she dare to receive the award? Charmaine said, “I will not answer supposing questions. (You became the hot favourite for opinion poll?) There is no need for guessing. The results will be released soon.” About Best Performance award which was regarded as consolation award, Charmaine said, “There is a significant meaning behind every award.”

Everyone is competitor

Charmaine Sheh expressed that she will use a usual mind to look upon awards and she does not want to give too much pressures to herself. When talked about the high popularity of Sheren Tang, Charmaine said, “Everyone is competitor. There are no main competitors. Everyone who was nominated performed very well. (Have any expectations?) I believe that nobody will place a disappointment mood to enter competition. I do not want to guess. It is just like giving birth. I will not scan it so that there will be surprise whether it is a boy or girl.”

Besides that, Moses Chan who was nominated as Best Actor has confidence on Wayne Lai. “The road that Chai Gao went through was plentiful. Moreover, Wayne always feels that he has no chance to become main lead. This time he really can prove to everyone that he has the ability.”

Sharon Chan and Joe Ma attended an activity in Sha Tin yesterday. Talking about "Beyond" having good index rating report when it was aired with "Born Rich", but now "Beyond" has its final episode, "Born Rich" may attract more viewers. Joe also agreed that maybe this is the case, he expressed "Born Rich" is getting to the exciting part. He has confidence that the index rating will rise, in particular the last 5 episodes. It may even reach as high as 50 points. Sharon, on the other hand was not disappointed that "Born Rich" lost to "Beyond" earlier on. This is because when she went to the mainland with Gallen Lo, a lot of people were following the series of "Born Rich". Sharon was nominated for "Most Improved Actress" award, she said "I am very confidence, but on the other hand, I am happy whoever wins that award. The most important thing now is for me to look beautiful and be happy tonight. My evening gown shows my back, not my front."

In the series, she is a lively, open, and intelligent. After her love at first sight with Emperor Tang, she became the most favorite among the Chamber of Imperial Cocubines, the only woman who is able to win the Emperor's favor over Lady Yang among the three thousand beauties. Meanwhile she is a passionately romantic icon, one who's willing to sacrifice life for love, it was most unforgettable when she suicides for the love of her life, Prime Minister Yang Guozhong.

As compared to Li-Yang's love, Yang Yuyao and Yang Guozhong's love is definitely far more poignant and tragic.
