Recently a tabloid claimed that Miriam Yeung Chin Wah will sell the broadcasting rights of her upcoming December 20th wedding to TVB. Allegedly, this would increase Miriam’s chances of winning Jade Solid Gold’s “Most Popular Female Singer Award.”

Miriam laughed coldly, “That scary? I never heard that you can ‘sell’ your own wedding.” (Alex Man Chi Leung did in his wedding to Tien Niu.) “Maybe I was too young then. I will not do that.” (Did TVB discuss broadcasting your wedding?) “Of course not, that’s rubbish!”

Did Miriam’s attitude change, thus she did not mind whether she received awards or not? “Just because the transaction did not go through does not meal the value of the house went down. Not getting an award does not equate failure. Of course, I would be happy if I were to get an award!” In addition, Miriam said she invited Leon Lai Ming to her wedding. Earlier tabloids claimed that Leon was on Miriam blacklist due to prior disagreements.

With the wedding less than two weeks away, Miriam grew more nervous. While shooting her wedding photographs in Paris earlier, Miriam gained weight and could not zip up her wedding dress. Since her bridesmaids have all slimmed down, Miriam vowed to lose weight as well.

Thirty-six year-old Miriam Yeung Chin Wah will be holding her Hong Kong wedding banquet on December 20th. Since marriage is a big lifetime milestone, of course Miriam wanted to extend her prestige by sweeping the 2010 year-end music awards!

Suppressed by arch-rival, Joey Yung Cho Yi, for many years, Miriam allegedly asked Media Asia’s Chairman, Peter Lam, to negotiate with TVB to give her the Jade Solid Gold “Most Popular Female Singer Award.” The terms include allowing TVB an exclusive half-hour broadcast of the wedding day and Miriam’s agreement to film a long TVB series and two music specials in 2011. It was also made clear that Miriam did not mind her husband, Real Ting Chi Ko, making an onscreen appearance.

Charmaine:

Love Mum Best!- The fight for TV Queen has always been between Charmaine and Sheren and it ended on an equal stage, each getting one award. Charmaine is very happy to have won this award as third princess is her very own favourite character. " Third Princess is my favourite character. With the audience also having a liking for her, I am very happy. Thanks to the bunch of artistes, lighting and make-up artistes and all back stage staff etc. Also, I took a long time persuading my mum before she agreed to come today. This is the first time she's seeing me receive my award live. I think career and family are equally important. I really want to tell my mum she's always my favourite character."

There's still a long way to go!- When Charmaine was at the backstage doing her interview, it was the time for awarding of the favourite male character and she looked at the big screen screaming:' Ah Mo aka Moses!". Although in the end, the award landed in Raymond Lam's hands, Charmaine is equally happy for him. "Moses is my partner in CBML, I will definitely support him. But I am equally elated that Raymond Lam won, he's an old pal." With regards to having lost out for the best female lead award, Charmaine, who has attended numerous award ceremonies will not be unhappy. " Not managing the win, there's a tinge of disappointment but I will not be unhappy. There are many good artistes yearly but only a couple can win the awards. Therefore, I will not give myself too much pressure. I will do my best for every role, and the most important thing is to have the support of the audience. I will continue to do my best."

Raymond:

The Prince Charming- The first to win an award (tvb.com popularity award), Raymond seems surprised at it and with the flow, he won a second award, the favorite male character, being happy and satisfied. " Really very happy. I really like this chacter as Kingsley this character is designed to be the dream man of all girls, it is of prince charming feeling. And Tavia's character is cinderella, the whole story is like a fairytale. The serial has also created many classic scenes, for example the scene at the Harbour where Tavia talked about (some chemistry term). Thanks a lot to the scriptwriting group for giving me such a nice character to build on and JiaHaoGe for giving me the chances to act as Alfred, 'house' steward and now Kingsley."

Still need to go further!- This year and 2008, Raymond has gotten two awards and he's brimming with happiness. " These two awards are very important to me. Every year, I aim to act characters that can leave an impression on the audience. This year's Kingsley has done it, being the topic of the audience , I feel that I have already produce a good result to myself. Now that I am into all three directions (act, sing, movie), I still need to improve, hoping that I can juggle my time nicely. I would like to thank Miss Lok and my manager, Candy Ma. All my work schedule is arranged by them, everyone has worked hard. As I always have to fly around, they can still manage to arrange everything appropriately, really very impressive."

The night before, TVB's Anniversary Awards 2010 came to an end, the dusts to the results are settled. However, audience unsatisifaction of the results is upsurging, scolding that TVB cheated the results, giving Can't Buy Me Love the "Best Series" award and felt pity for No Regrets. TVB and the Broadcasting Authority received 31 complaints! Later, TV King Wayne Lai said: "Just watching the clips, I thought No Regrets was very good." No Regrets producer Lee Tim Shing, lead actor Wayne Lai and lead actress Sheren Tang felt very disappointed to losing out on the Best Series award, it is a regret!

There are also opinions on the "My Favorite TV Male Character" award where Raymond Lam beats Moses Chan. Audience scold that TVB was biased towards Raymond and sacrificed Moses, causing him only to get "Best Professional Performance" pork award. However, Moses generously expressed that he won Netizen's great praises.

The Broadcasting Authority received 15 complaints yesterday that the "Best Series" results was unfair. TVB Foreign Affairs Director (Tsang Sing Ming) expressed that TVB received 32 different opinions from audience. 16 of them said No Regrets should have won Best Series, 4 of them said Raymond Lam should not have won "My Favorite TV Male Character", 4 of them admired No Regrets entire crew, 2 of them said Wayne Lai's win was well deserved, 5 of them said Charmaine Sheh's Can't Buy Me Love performance was a breakthrough, should have won TV Queen, 1 suggested that Can't Buy Me Love and No Regrets should have won Best Series together.

CBML's producer Mui Siu Ching expressed that CBML and NR have their own fans, there will be different opinions. What made her most happy was that she received sincere congratulations from Tim Gor. Everyone put in a lot of effort into the series. To her, the awards ceremony has already ended, she is now currently busy preparing for Forensic Heroes 3.

Tim Gor frankly said that he felt very disappointed, the moment when the results were announced, everyone was stiff for a moment, but the results have already been decided, he feels helpless! Tim Gor is happy for Wayne and Sheren, they deserved their awards. Evergreen Mak is also very outstanding, Dominic Lam just lost a little.

Yesterday Wayne expressed on a website that he was disappointed in losing Best Series award. It is his greatest regret, and it is hard to hide his disappointment despite winning TV King. The other night, Wayne reveals backstage that the award presenter Johnnie To though he didn't watch the series, but just watching the clip he felt it was a very good series. Wayne deeply admired Johnnie To's vision, wisdom and admiration for No Regrets. This represents the entire NR crew and all NR fans in the entire world salutes to Johnnie To!

Sheren Tang felt that to able to win the award with Wayne, that she won Best Actress, there are no more regrets because based on her past experiences, Series award does not necessarily get as much as attention as TV King and Queen overseas. However, of course she does hope NR could have won Best Series too.
