I dun deny that Huang Yiliang is my best supporting actor out of the 5 nominees - BUT - really, I can't stand the way he mentioned about his ex-wife, Lin Meijiao. Was he criticising her, or was he sorry for her? I dun understand what his real intentions were. He made my heart skipped a beat - not because he's handsome or captivating - but because of his 'sharp and sour' words, and expressions...

That was indeed an informal event, when it should have been a formal one. Changing venue is a fresh idea, but the whole atmosphere was quieter than previous years. No cheering, whistling and boo-ing by huge groups of fans. Somemore, it's much smaller too, all artistes were seated in a very cramped area, and too close to one another.

The costumes were not as interesting as previous years...

Fann's acting seemed better than Ivy's...

Li Nanxing deserves to be the best actor, even though Qi Yuwu's acting was good too...

Glad that Christopher Lee kinda repented, and that his relationship with Fann has worked out smoothly..hope that they'll get married! Then the Singapore paparazzi/reporters can feed the papers for days with this 'food'...

Michelle's relationship with Chen Hongyu seemed very good - they were so lovey-dovey...but somehow, I feel that Michelle's much glamorous than him. Is she doing better than him as well?

I think Mark Lee should go and polish up his Chinese.

Superstars' performances were very messy. Dun really know what they were doing.

So is it underrun or overrun? It's so irritating!

A lady was giving instructions and was heard (for a long time somemore) while Qi Yuwu was giving his speech...should have better 'sound' control..

If overseas guests had their speeches prepared by the organisers, shouldn't award-winning artistes have their speeches examined by them as well? haha..

I have more negative pointers to comment on Star Awards 2006 than positive ones, maybe because I watched the 43rd Golden Horse Awards on the same day. We are 'peanuts' compared to them...'Kanasai' (by Gurmit Singh). Well, maybe I shouldn't even compare at all. After all, the basis isn't the same in the first place. Golden Horse Awards are based on HK movies, whereas Star Awards are based on local dramas and varieties shows...HK movies are for at least few Asian countries with huge Chinese population. SG shows are, well just for SG.

One last thing on Zoe: why didn't she wear any sponsored jewellery? Or did I fail to notice that? Why wasn't she invited to give out the awards? Is it because she blurted out too much in last year's event, and caused chaos?

It's really 'thunders big, raindrops very small'...

I think Mediacorp should 'repent' and think of better ways/improvements to revive this annual big show, otherwise, viewership will drop, less products/services would be advertised on TV, and Mediacorp would make some losses from the reduced advertising revenue...
