The 54th Golden Bell Award Starts Now.
Nominations for the 54th Golden Bell Award had been announced on August 28th with Public Television Service's (PTS) TV series "The World Between Us" leading the number of nominations. The series had won high praises by digging into several social issues including random killing, media distortion and death penalty. The series had received recognition in 14 categories including Best Television series, Best Actor and Best Actress.
I just can't get over it.
Actress Alyssa Chia was nominated for Best Actress for the first time and is thought to have a high chance of winning the award. However, the competition in the Best Supporting Actor is even more intense with JC Lin who played the role of a schizophrenic patient in the series, going head-to-head with James Wen and Honduras.
Three actors in "The World Between Us" had been nominated for Best Supporting Actor is a pleasant surprise for everyone. They are indeed worth the nominations. Actress Tracy Chou, Hsieh Chiung-hsuan and Chen Yu all put on a good act. I think it's like eating a dish with hot pepper, it is easier to be able to highlight that part. But once you spend the time and appreciate the series, you will find there are multiple layers to it.
PTS-produced TV series "On Children" discussed the relationship conflicts between parents and children and were nominated for 14 categories as well. The Bureau of Audiovisual and Music Industry Development, (MOC) expressed it had picked 191 works competing for 39 award categories from a total of 1995 works submitted for this award. Many self-produced series done by PTS had been recognized by the Committee.
Now we have to initiate "groupings" when hosting variety shows.
"100 Calls" made into the Best Reality or Game Show category, along with Sandy Wu nominated for the Best Host. Sandy Wu is going against her father, Jacky Wu for the Best Host spot, which is going to be quite interesting. The nomination announcement press conference had also announced the first winner of this year's Golden Bell Award. Veteran entertainer Chang Hsiao-yen had received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
