SINGAPORE: Singapore actress Jeanette Aw and “Breakout” co-star Christopher Lee took home the award for Favourite On-screen Couple (Drama) at the Star Awards 2011 Show 1 on Sunday.

Aw played Yang Nianqing, a mentally unstable woman who falls in love with Lee’s character Situ Dong Cheng, a disgraced lawyer in Mandarin drama “Breakout”, which had won awards for Best Director and Best Music and Sound Design earlier in the evening.

The couple beat out other popular couplings like Elvin Ng and Zhou Ying – also from “Breakout” – as well as Rui En and Chen Han Wei in “With You”.

Although Singapore actress Rui En missed out on the Favourite On-screen Couple (Drama) Award, she managed to snag the Favourite Female Character Award for her portrayal of Yang Xiao Dong, a happy-go-lucky girl in the drama “Happy Family”.

“I am very grateful to my fans. They are my motivation and I think of them when things get tough during shooting.

“They do a lot for me. Of course, as a result, I am under more and more pressure to do my work well,” said Rui En.

The winners of the Favourite Male Character, Favourite Female Character, Favourite On-screen Partners (Variety) and Favourite On-screen Couple (Drama) awards were determined solely through online voting.
