Skit-zophrenia!
Star Awards Show 1
Thanks to one madcap, no-holds-barred skit, nobody, especially the lampooned stars, will forget this year’s Star Awards Show 1 anytime soon.
Who says we can’t laugh at ourselves? Yes, the three-hour-long Star Awards Show 1 was, for the most part, a nostalgic trip down memory lane – say “long time no see!” to past Ch 8 icons like Chen Xiuhuan, Zhang Wanling and Huang Biren. But it was a 15-minute skit lampooning the most memorable dramas of 2011 – on screen and off – that gave the show humour and lotsa bite. Starring Quan Yifeng, Dennis Chew, Vivian Lai, Guo Liang and Lee Teng, the skit is best described as the mutant child between the Oscars’ opening montage and Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes monologue. Only meaner. Spoofing Devotion, Code of Honour and A Song to Remember, no topic – from Zoe Tay’s wrinkles to Rui En’s feud with On the Fringe co-star Zhang Yaodong, to the questionable acting of the very stars the awards were celebrating – was off limits.
Awkward, much? This year’s Favourite Onscreen Couple may lack chemistry – their awkward acceptance speech ended with two seconds of dead air on live TV – but at least Rui En and Elvin Ng (aka RuiVin) have fans who believe they’re great together.
Freeze Frame!
Wanna see actors being real? Feast your eyes.
We knew we’d catch Tay Ping Hui smirking at Rui En and Elvin Ng’s awkward speech. “I always have that look on my face lah,” says TPH.
Scandalous! Ann Kok’s reaction to the lampooning of Rui En and Zhang Yaodong’s feud says everything.
Fashion Police
White track: “I like anything with studs,” says Rui En, who looks stunning in this white va-va-Versace number. “People always say I wear black, so this is for them!”

The INS and OUTS of Star Awards 2012
We have all the thrills, spills, and the most surprising Top 10 Most Popular lists ever.
And if the talent segment is the winners’ speeches, points must be given Qi Yuwu, who made it on stage for his Top 10 award bearing the scars from his car accident. Then there was the engaging Rui En, who took a cute dig at everyone for panning her too cool-for-school attitude by showing us what she looked like when she’s really ticked off.

Rui En
SPANX YOU VERY MUCH? You’d think that to get into this form-fitting dress that hugs the body like a second skin, Rui En must’ve survived on a diet of water and air for days. Nope. This cool cat who swished around in the Dsquared2 slinky number, five-inch Jimmy Choos and Cartier bling tells us: “I just had a plate of chicken rice in the hotel room before this.” Yes, you can start hating her now.

“I’m rarely humourous.” – RUI EN on the “angry face, happy face” joke she cracked on stage.

最精彩，在开场。
但感动度似乎逐年有减少。
是实至名归而不是＂需要＂所以才得奖，给予Mr Tay掌声理应更多。
白薇秀再当视后堪称《红星》史上最大爆冷之一。
大家的眼镜跌破一地，当事人意气风发之余，也务必表现得诚惶诚恐。
黄俊雄与瑞恩横扫Show 1奖项，无悬念，粉丝呐喊喝彩早早响彻现场。
圈中人缘与媒体缘相当一般的两人，何以成为当今人气之王与后？某些业界人士或许会纳闷。这就是曾宝仪口中的所谓＂入屋＂。
观众最大。观众的喜爱，尽管有时难测，其实也直接。顺眼，不会没有原因。
＂奇怪了，报纸之前不是写我们不怎么和吗？＂
＂可是，你真的相信报纸写的一切吗？＂
两人的对话，是两场一堆安全的致谢词当中唯一挑得起话题的。只是，多数媒体应该不想提及。
颁奖礼就是Show，爆冷话题，大热高潮，台上风光，台下暗涌。够drama，才好看……
得奖名单
十大最受欢迎女艺人：林慧玲、林湘萍、瑞恩、钟琴、赖怡伶、蔡琦慧、欧萱、许美珍、白薇秀、郭舒贤
最喜爱女角色：瑞恩/章雅乐
最喜爱荧幕情侣： 黄俊雄 & 瑞恩
最佳电视剧：边缘父子
这一夜，讲过的还记得住的
＂这是我真正黑脸的表情，这是我笑的表情，以后不要再误会了。＂
瑞恩有股冷幽默，不时语出有惊与喜，懂不懂得欣赏因人而异。
服装大斗法
瑞恩
当晚穿的Dsquared2黑礼服，因瑞恩担心走猫步裙摆太长会被绊倒，特地赶工改短，直到颁奖礼当天上午才完成热辣出炉。合作两年多的造型师Lirong很懂她：“她喜欢皮质材料的衣服、还有就是不可以太暴露。”
Show 1 精彩点滴
风光奖门人
势力最强
黄俊雄与瑞恩是当晚最大赢家。
除了“最喜爱男女角色”，两人又一同领“最喜爱荧幕情侣”奖项。
两人粉丝团合力组成 “Ruivin” 势力不可挡，有媒体问起是否希望明年再凭《最火搭档2》获荧幕情侣人气奖，瑞恩笑说：“我们在戏里好像不是情侣吧？我跟（陈）莉萍姐的戏多，比较适合吧……”
娱乐玩很大
连续3年玩模仿秀，今年综艺咖拿演员们开刀，下足了猛药。权怡凤、周崇庆、钟琴、王禄江、赖怡伶等搞笑上演翻版《星洲之夜》、《正义武馆》和《阿娣》。
席上演员反应？瑞恩一脸哭笑不得……事不关己的郑斌辉，亦被拍到在偷笑。
影射瑞恩和张耀栋“强奸不遂”风波的模仿片段，还殃及了坐在观众席远处的张耀栋。
瑞恩私下被问及与张耀栋在拍《花样人间》时的互动，她淡淡一句：“专业。”

综艺咖抢风头！
综艺咖演出的短剧内容向众多艺人“开刀”，包括影射陈汉玮和郑惠玉装嫩、张耀栋和瑞恩“强奸不逐”风波、《正义武馆》为追求电影感灯光太暗、《星洲之夜》节奏太慢、戚玉武一号表情、郭蕙雯瞪大双眼等，夸张又好笑！
黄俊雄和瑞恩在疯狂粉丝的力挺支持下，大热获奖。两人在获得“最喜爱荧幕情侣”时，瑞恩还“酸”报章之前写他们“不合”，“我最重要是来拍戏，不是写新闻。” 不过，两人在台上的互动、默契麻麻。还一度冷场。

In the final of our three-part Star Awards winners’ prediction, we take a guess at who are the top 10 most popular male and female artistes of the year
Oh, how the game has changed.
This year, the Top 20 (10 from each gender) Most Popular Male and Female Artistes will be decided through a combination of telepoll and online voting, where the latter is introduced for the first time in the awards ceremony’s history.
Traditionally, public voting was wholly done via telepoll hotlines, but this year’s results will be a combination of 50% telepoll voting and 50% online voting.
A change in the voting mechanism this year may alter the fates of your favourite artistes. Artistes with a younger and more IT savvy fan base, may secure themselves an edge over others who used to rely on telepoll voting.
Should a tie occur on the night of the actual show, the final Top 10 will be determined via results from a previous survey.
Telepoll lines for the Top 10 Most Popular Male/Female Artistes awards is open from Mar 15 to Apr 29, 2012, 9pm; online voting commenced on Mar 16, and will end on Apr 29, 2012.
With only a couple more days to go, we say it’s high time you rally your family and friends and work those fingers, if you don’t want your favourite artiste to go home empty handed on Sunday night.
Who will clinch that coveted spot, and who will go home empty-handed?
《红星大奖2012》第2场颁奖礼明晚将于滨海湾金沙隆重举行，届时除了公布各大演技、主持与主播等奖项花落谁家，也将宣布今年的”十大最受欢迎男女艺人”。
与往年不同，这次的成绩50%依旧仰赖电话投选，另50%则来自xinmsn网上投选。从3月中旬开始接受投票以来，战情额外激烈，其中有不少令人意外的。
两方投选将于明晚8点半截止，xinmsn娱乐组考虑各种因素，预测以下艺人将有可能入围。
Our take on the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes:
Winning Pedestal: Rui En, Jeanette Aw, Vivian Lai
They have had a consistent track record of taking a spot on the Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes award, and it wouldn’t be any different this year; this trio seemed like the shoo-in winners for this category.
Rui En has had plenty of exposure on local television this year, with lead roles in A Tale of 2 Cities, Code of Honour and Unriddle 2. She even won the Favourite Female Character award for her role as Zhang Ya Le at last week’s Star Awards Show 1; since the award was determined wholly through online voting, we dare say it is once again a shoo-in for the actress this time.
十拿九稳： 瑞恩、欧萱、赖怡伶
本地两大人气女王瑞恩和欧萱，各有一批坚强的粉丝群，无论曝光率高或低，都不会有太多影响，”十大”是铁拿的。
Dial 1900-112-2023 to vote for Rui En in Top 10! Per vote costs 86c.

May Seah
No, the annual Star Awards aren’t just about who wore what. There are actually some pretty important awards that get given out, too – like those that affirm and reward actors for the hard work, dedication and, sometimes, pure inspiration they put into their craft.
Best Actress contenders are Joanne Peh for being a gold-digging ah lian in A Tale Of Two Cities; Ann Kok for vamping it up in Bountiful Blessings; Rui En for ditzing it up in A Tale Of Two Cities; Zoe Tay for her maternal aptitude in Devotion; and Fann Wong for being a triad boss in heels in On The Fringe.
What does it take to be a Star Award acting nominee? What does it mean to be a star? As the big day approaches, five of this year’s nominees share their thoughts.
ZHENG GEPING
You’ve been acting for a long time. How do you constantly improve yourself?
I won my first Best Actor award in 2007. A lot of people didn’t believe the fact that after midnight, I put it in its box and put it away in the storeroom. I felt that I didn’t want the award to lock me in. The very next day, I started from zero. Some people might hang on to that award and as a result give themselves too much pressure. I think it’s not good.
I have also learnt things from young people and from the young, new actors. I choose to find lessons to learn from them. That’s how I encourage myself not to stagnate and push myself to accept new things. Sometimes I share my experiences with them. Some people say, “Why are you so stupid? If you teach them all you know, the young people will overtake you.” No. If you have passion and you love this industry, then you must have responsibility towards the industry. Sharing is another way of improving yourself. Rui En still calls me Teacher. I’m very proud of Rui En and Andie – the kind of effort they put in. Rui En is small but she’s really good at martial arts!
ANN KOK
What do you think of your chances this year?
I don’t know! It’s so difficult! They have all won for Best Actresses – I’m the only one who hasn’t – so I’m actually quite stressed. (Laughs) Like, they get it so easily, so they must be good. Of course I really hope I can get it but, well, that depends on my luck.
JOANNE PEH
How do you feel about your chances?
I think it’s equal chances this year. There are five of us, so I think … 20 per cent?

Viewers’ favourite on-screen characters, hosts, programmes, and production crew were honoured at the Star Awards Show 1 on Sunday evening.
But fashion-watchers were definitely eager to see what the stars in attendance were wearing.
The show featured many skits which poked fun at the artistes, but according to The New Paper, ruffled at least a few feathers in the crowd.
In one of the skits, host Quan Yifeng pretended to be Rui En and objected to filming a rape scene. It was an obvious reference to the controversy between Rui En and Zhang last August.
Zhang had talked to the media about the rape scene, after which Rui En wrote in a heated blog post that she is against doing kissing and rape scenes.
She stressed that the particular scene was actually a failed attempt at a rape scene.
The New Paper reported that both Rui En and Zhang did not appear amused during the segment.
When interviewed after the awards show, both were curt in their replies, but denied that the skits went overboard.
Here’s a look at the fashion highlights of the night.
Rui En wore a trendy white studded dress, but it was her glum face and cryptic remarks that critics jumped at. She won for Favourite On-screen Couple with Elvin Ng in Code of Honour, and Favourite Female Character for Tale of Two Cities.

黄俊雄最近在红星大奖颁奖典礼上，虽然与瑞恩获得“最喜爱荧幕情侣”奖，但两人在后台受访后迅速弹开，几乎是零交流。
前天，这名红星三料得主黄俊雄携同台湾女星夏如芝以及周颖、张振寰等演员一同出席《糊里糊涂爱上它》记者会时，一时失声痛哭，一时臭脸难描，情绪一如温度计，令人错愕不已！
特别是提起瑞恩二字，黄俊雄就非常敏感，不只语气凝重，眉头深锁，甚至当场黑脸！
首先，被问起两人是不是“朋友”，他就没有正面回答，只是说：“我不知道为什么一直被问这个问题！”
对于两人被指“面合心不和”，黄俊雄再三强调：“我和她（瑞恩）面和，心也和，工作上更合。”
被问起两人私下有没有约出去，黄俊雄说：“你也知道瑞恩的性格，我尊重她的个性。最重要的是工作上有Integrity（诚信）。”

新传媒红星大奖连续第三年办两场颁奖礼，首两年的首场颁奖礼都推出娱乐性丰富的短剧，大获好评，没想到今年笑弹更绝，不逊珠玉在前。
前天举行的第一场颁奖礼，由权怡凤、郭亮、周崇庆、赖怡伶、李腾等人演出，第三度发挥“嘲讽”风格，内容影射郑惠玉不打肉毒杆菌露鱼尾纹，陈汉玮老花眼，瑞恩与张耀栋的强奸戏与博客恩怨，黄俊雄有偶像包袱，《正义武馆》以追求电影感为名灯光太暗，重头剧《星洲之夜》节奏太慢，戚玉武一号表情，郭蕙雯老瞪大眼睛演戏等，只见现场观众爆笑如雷，台下演员也都笑得眼泪直流。
几名被“嘲弄”艺人在后台时都表示不介意。瑞恩说她之前有预料到会被玩：“娱乐价值吧。”
她和张耀栋在强奸戏与博客风波后，被安排在台庆剧《花样人间》再演对手戏，问她感觉如何，她回答：“专业。”过去的恩怨解决了吗？她说：“已经过去了，我想我们接下来有机会再合作，何必让每个人辛苦，就放下吧。”
黄俊雄瑞恩粉丝“结盟”打退偶像对手
她与黄俊雄当晚收获最丰，横扫网络投选奖项，即最喜爱男角色、女角色、荧幕情侣等。
在荧幕情侣奖方面，黄俊雄与瑞恩的视迷“结盟”，展现强大的组织力量，所以打退其他对手。网络投选是免费的，每人每日投票数也有所限。之前两人合拍《正义武馆》传不和，黄俊雄在记者会受访时没有否认，只回答已没事，但前晚两人似乎有意“推翻报道”，以冲淡为凭此剧夺“荧幕情侣”的讽刺性。
瑞恩在台上问：“你们会相信媒体所写的吗？”后台媒体区有人发生非议之声。有几名记者指出两人在台上互动不熟使话接不下去出现尴尬冷场。
黄俊雄在台上说：“就算要吵架也需要默契。”显然比较“诚实”，没有企图“改变历史”。
接受媒体访问时，瑞恩大方自嘲：“我跟每个人讲话都会有冷场吧？”黄俊雄微笑回答：“有尴尬冷场吗？我不觉得。”
专业奖项方面，最佳剧本由《边缘父子》的洪荣狄与《麻婆斗妇》的陈秀群与刘清盆分享殊荣。也是洪荣狄所编的重头剧《星洲之夜》反应不及制作较小的《边缘父子》，他说两者他一样喜爱，但论难度，《星》高出几倍。
陈秀群与刘清盆今年蝉联，刘清盆笑说：“老天很公平，给你一些，也拿走你一些。”头发快掉光的他幽了自己一默。
