Caught the 2nd Star Awards (红星大奖) 2010 today on TV. Had stayed home for the day because I wasnt feeling very well. Watching the Star Awards has been a yearly affair for me since young and this year proved to be as entertaining and exciting as well. I wished I could be part of the show because it's just too enticing just by sitting there and watching it.
Here are the results for the night:

In general, I felt that everyone who won deserved to win for one reason or the other. However I also feel that not winning an award doesnt mean you are not good or that you do not work hard enough, it's just that, there can only be one "award taker" and perhaps it's just lack of fate and lady luck. The fact that you are still in the job proves that you have indeed worked hard enough and put in enough effort (that's why you are not fired), the trophy is just a source of encouragement. So for those who dont get it, must work harder and those who got it, must work even harder!
Personally, I felt happy that some of my favourites won! For one, I like Zhu Hou Ren alot. His acting is superb! He is one of the few veterans who can take on any role, anytime, anywhere and portray it 110% well. The others whom I felt the same are Edmund Chen, Huang Wen Yong, Zheng Ge Ping, Lee Nan Xing and Chen Han Wei. Zhu Hou Ren's role as a dementia father-in-law is just so funny that even watching the trailers makes me laugh. It's so deep rooted in my mind even though this show was broadcasted some time ago.
Chen Han Wei is also one of my all time favourite actor. I like how he can act as a gambler and lousy dad in one show and then a AIDS patient and a caring dad in the other. Both won great plaudits from everyone. He winning of the Best Actor Award is truly deserving!
I'm also happy my friend Dennis Chew aka Aunty Lucy won the Top 10 most popular male artiste award! I'm so proud of him. He's been working very hard being a DJ at 93.3FM on one side and being Aunty Lucy at another and Dennis Chew at one more side. Congrats congrats!!! (",)
I'm happy for Elvin for having won too. I've personally heard of the effort he puts in in his work. He is a workaholic and that alone deserves alot of respect. Though he faced many criticisms all the time, he has never gave up and never stopped improving. Today, I'm happy to see him on stage.
Not forgetting my few idols whom I've supporting all these while. Like Felicia Chin, Zheng Ge Ping, Quan Yi Feng, Vivian Lai etc. You have all done well! Congrats!
JJ Lin gave an impressing Live performance as usual and lastly, other invited stars of the night like Mark Chao, Li-Ching, Mi Xue, Godfrey Tsao etc all graced the event beautifully, making it a successful and eventful night!
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
