Nominees for certain categories for Star Awards 2009

As seen in Paul Chan's BaGua TV blog, there has been a few categories being put up recently for the upcoming Star Awards ceremony (which is to commence in either March or April this year). I'm putting up my predictions for Best Newcomer and Best Drama categories...


Nominations for Best Newcomer:
- Wayne Chua Peixuan (actually a Star Search 2003 finalist from the Malaysia batch)
- Andie Chen (made his debut in "The Defining Moment",and later appeared in "The Little Nyonya")
- Jerry Yeo (made his debut in "Beach Ball Babes")
- Koh Yah Hwee (made her debut in "Love Blossoms")
- Dai Yang Tian (having gained popularity with his role in The Little Nyonya)
- Rebecca Lim (give this sweetie her due already!)

Who I think will win: Jerry Yeo. He is a more seasoned and natural performer than Andie and the other Star Search alumni.

Who I feel should win: Wayne Chua, given her strong and consistent performances in shows like "Golden Path", "The Beautiful Scent", etc. Pity she doesn't have a strong fanbase like what fellow Malaysian Jesseca Liu is enjoying.

Nominations for Best Drama Series:
- The Little Nyonya (confirm one lah!!)
- By My Side
- The Golden Path
- Just In Singapore
- A Perfect Cut
- The Defining Moment

Who I think will win: The Little Nyonya, given its strong script, outsatnding cast (thumbs up to Jeanette, Joanne, Ng Hui and Zzen, to name a few) huge following and immense populairty. Moreover, it has become Singapore's most watched Channel 8 drama in the past 15 years.

Who I feel should win: By My Side. It is a tearjerker able to convey a message to the public on the severity of the AIDS virus and how it can affect the victim and his family mentally and physically. Not to forget the outstanding performances from Hanwei, Zoe, Elvin and Rui En. :-)
