AOD Awards 2012

TVB had their own annual Anniversary Awards back in Hong Kong. For Malaysia, in several years ago, we have Astro Wah Lai Toi Drama Awards running for around five to seven years before it is cancelled to make way for the up-to-date My Astro on Demand Favourites Awards not long after Astro on Demand is offered to Malaysian citizens showing the latest TVB dramas concurrently with audiences in Hong Kong. The Malaysia’s awards presentation which is slightly humble continue this year with more awards to be presented as two new categories are introduced; ‘My Favourite Promising Character Award’ and ‘My Favourite Classic Role’.

This awards which is usually held earlier than the much prestigious and popular TVB Anniversary Awards always serve as a hint of winners at the TVB awards as winners selected from My AOD Awards will be then awarded too for similar category in TVB Awards in past years. Well, now without wasting much time, let us have a look at the nomination list which I believed had already been released a week or two earlier without me noticing it. The awards presentation will be held at Sunway Convention Centre on 2nd December 2012.

This awards would be a disadvantage to ‘The Confidant’ as the series would not be finished airing at the time of the awards and that people usually cast their votes earlier and yet this series isn’t released yet currently. Well, it just gets into nomination but it’s certainly unfair to this heavyweight drama. One of my favourite dramas of the year, ‘The Hippocratic Crush’ receives the most nominations and I do hope it would certainly wins in some categories. It’s really a good drama but too bad, it is released early this year and many would have forgotten the impact from this meaningful medical-based drama. I think this awards would benefits dramas released earlier while TVB awards would usually goes for their promoting dramas usually released in end of the year.

Here’s below is the official nomination list for the My AOD Favourites Awards 2012. The one with a small star at the end is my top picks (5 usually) while the bolded ones are either my choice or to win.  If you are a Malaysian and an Astro subscriber, you can cast a vote on its website: http://zhongwen.astro.com.my/AODAwards/home.aspx.
