not twinkle little stars but those TV stars. a recent online news article featured a fairly successful local star Patricia Mok's 'bitterness' for being omitted from the much coveted (by local stars only) star award nomination.
I wonder why. the nomination itself is flawed because in the past years, many buzz had been generated over the nominations because undeserving stars had been nominated and actually won the award.
it has become (imo) just a show to tell viewers and fans, yes we have so and so in our stable of pretty looking brainless muppets who look more real in 2D (mags and newspapers) than animated (TV, youtube and whatever else).
this year's show features nomination mostly from the very very hugely immensely popular little nonya TV series which featured some eye candies, nevermind the fact that it was in a very channel 8 mandarin, the very language the people portrayed couldn't speak.
I myself watched perhaps 15 mins of the last episode of the TV series. that shows how popular the series were. I don't watch local dramas anymore, even if they are going to feature more chio-bus-in-bikinis running along orchard road. for the record, I missed that episode because I had to kill a level 5 elite on world of warcraft. still don't regret that decision.
as for Pat Mok, the news report went on to say that although she was (prolly still is) bitter about it, she's totally hooked on the show and also who she 'supports' in there. I say, forget it and continue to do your best in the local showbiz. its tougher when you don't look like Karen Mok, but good job.
