Actress Rui En’s arms were folded and she seemed guarded, as she sat on stage at the Star Awards Show 1 on Sunday.

On social media, she was bashed for scowling and showing “a face as black as her outfit”.

But the star told reporters she was not in the least disappointed, said Lianhe Wanbao. She explained: “I’m not used to sitting on stage like this. But this will be the arrangement next week.”

The stars usually sit in the audience at Star Awards ceremonies. But the new awards shows seem to be taking a leaf out of the books of Hong Kong’s TVB Anniversary Awards, where the stars and their friendships (or rivalries) are on display on stage.

Major Star Awards such as Best Drama will be presented at Show 2 on Sunday.
