TVB Anniversary Gala 2008

TVB celebrated it's 41st Anniversary on Wednesday, November 19th in typical pomp and splendour. It was held and Tseung Kwan O TVB City at attended by over 100 artists. Sir Run Run Shaw opened the show and was assisted by MCs for the night, Liza Wang and Carol Cheng.

TVB capitalised on the rumours surrounding rumoured couples and paired them up for performances. But these artists were very sporting and professional and took them all in stride. Among those paired up include Charmaine Sheh and Kevin Cheng, Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong, Raymond Lam and Linda Chung among others.

Wong Cho Lam, who recently picked up the award for Most Improved Male Artist, together with Johnson Lee and Louis Yuen paid tribute to the late Lydia Shum by impersonating TVB Golden Flowers.

The cast of Moonlight Resonance treated the audience to an anniversary sketch. The cast members - Lee Si Kei, Susanna Kwan, Ha Yu, Michelle Yim, Raymond Lam, Moses Chan, Bosco Wong were joined by Eric Tsang, Charmaine Sheh, Christine Ng and Myolie Wu on stage for the sketch. Although a script was provided, but it was not followed, thus even more hilarity ensues. There were chaos (of the good kind), lots of laughter and most importantly fun for everyone. Raymond, Ha Yu and Wayne had expected the worst and wore raincoats to protect themselves but Eric managed to smear cream cake on their faces.

One of the highlights of the night was big sister, Liza Wang, joining the young artists, performed a hip hop dance. An elated Grace Wong walked away with the biggest anniversary bonus of the night when she won HKD 120,000, while Shirley Yeung and Charmaine Sheh took Hkd 50,000 and HKD 25,000 respectively.

Tavia Yeung flies into the arms of Ron Ng

Many artists were busy rehearsing for TVB Anniversary Gala 2008. This year TVB tried to capitalise on the rumours affecting the artists by pairing up rumoured couples such as Kevin Cheng and Charmaine Sheh together.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for Tavia Yeung, she currently does not have any rumours with anyone. When reporters asked her if she felt left out (as she does not have a rumoured partner), Tavia quickly fly into the arms of Ron Ng. Ron, who was a little shocked, said he doesn't mind being Tavia's rumoured boyfriend. Ron lamented that he has always been rumoured with so many female artists, as such one more (Tavia) would not hurt!

On a more serious note, Tavia explained that she was supposed to be jumping on a tramoline for the Gala show but due to her waist injury she couldn't do that. Tavia will be involved in another performance during the TVB Anniversary Gala Show.

For those with Astro On Demand, tune in tonight (November 19, 2008) at 8.30pm for the live telecast of TVB Anniversary Gala 2008.

No surprises at TVB 41st Anniversary Awards

The 41st TVB Anniversary Awards was held on Saturday Night. The night's biggest winners were Ha Yu and Michelle Yim who managed to snag the Best Actor and Best Actress Award respectively.

In his acceptance speech, Ha Yu said he has waited 40 years for this award. Ha Yu, who was almost in tears, said "I have waited for 40 years. I did a lot of movies and TV series. At last I have achieved what I have always wanted. I need to thank 'Uncle 6' (Sir Run Run Shaw). He has been my boss since I started my acting life." Ha Yu ended his speech with a line borrowed from Sa Yee in Moonlight Resonance - If you say I can make it, I will make it. If you say I can't, then I won't make it!

Michelle Yim said when she accepted the role of Hung Yee, she didn't expect that she would be the most hated woman in all Hong Kong in 2008! But that happened and that also won her the Best Actress Award. Almost in tears, Michelle thanked her boyfriend, Wan Chi Keung, her family and friends for their support. She also expressed her disbelief that she is competing for this award even at her age.

Wayne Lai, who walked the red carpet with Michelle Yim, won the Best Supporting Actor Award. Everyone cheered for Wayne when his name was announced. Wayne has been repeatedly nominated but has failed to win until Saturday night when fortunes were turned.

Tavia Yeung, a favourite of viewers for her role as Yuet in Moonlight Resonance, beat veteran Lee Heung Kam for the Best Supporting Actress Award. The first thing Tavia did when accepting her award was to acknowledge Lee Heung Kam and asked the audience to give her a round of applause.

Lee Si Kei, winner of Best Actress in 2007, won the Favourite Female Character award for her role as Hor Ma. Raymond Lam picked up the male version of the same award, Favourite Male Character, for his role as Goon Ga Zai. Raymond also picked up the TVB.Com award for having the most readers to his TVB Blog.

Paul Chun, a TVB veteran was honoured for his work. he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the industry. Paul joked that he was afraid that he would be asked to retire after being given this award. Paul stressed that he loves to act and acting is part and parcel of his life. He wishes to continue acting for another 10 years at least and said maybe by that time TVB could give him another award.
