DEAR DIARY ;
I am very 'into' Stars Award and I am kind of disappointed with the one this year. :(
Anyway, this is my take on ways to secure an award.
(if you really want to/desperate for it/just need one to keep going in the media industry)Disclaimer : Please take it with a pinch of salt okay.
HOW TO SECURE AN AWARD :
1.) Go for roles with scenes that most people don't want. Example : Rape scenes
Joanne Peh did just that at The little Nyonya and she secured a Best Actress and Top 10 Award. It was really her night yesterday although I still thought that perhaps someone else deserved it more.
2.) Go for sickly people roles.Example: Chen Han Wei
He took on the role of a person inflicted with Aids, lots of sad scenes, crying scene and happy ending in the end. And he went home a happy man last night with the Top10 award. With a very annoying repeated thank you speech of " 等我，不要那麽快做神仙". -.-
And sick people don't have to say their lines well, they can stammer... and it would be considered good.
3.) Go for these pretty boys role. Wait, I correct myself ...that is if you are handsome/pretty enough okay. If people comment that you look like Steven Lim, I advice you to go for comedy roles instead.
Example : Dai Yang Tian
He acted in the little nyonya (which was already a big hooha show), and he got a pretty good role, plus he's pretty good looking so therefore he scored. He went home with a Best newcomer award, and I'm like whatever! Other newcomers deserved better.
And lastly to secure a award,
GO FOR GOOD DRAMAS. Like apparently the little nyonya
(which is good due to the promotions leading to popularity.) Like how can a show that can have different ending be good. you must be kidding. The script writer must be kidding. Everyone in mediacorp must be kidding.
And there's what? A peranakan ball muscial coming up. Wow.
Foreigners amazed, when singaporeans aren't. That's something new.
