By Joanna Goh

This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for – the release of the top and final five nominees in the acting categories for the annual Star Awards ceremony. Without further ado, find out who shone through their roles and performances to clinch a coveted spot in the nomination list.

For the actresses, two veterans – Cynthia Koh and Kym Ng – stood out with their impressive turns in Show Hand and It Takes Two. While this marks Cynthia’s third nomination in the Best Actress category after 2005’s Portrait of Home, this will be Kym’s first. Rebecca Lim also joins Kym as a first-time entrant for her stellar portrayal as a psychopath doctor in Unriddle 2.

The trio will be competing against former Best Actress winners Joanne Peh (Pillow Talk) and Rui En (Unriddle 2) for the coveted trophy this year.

Now that we’ve laid out the nominees in the acting categories, the next piece of news—we believe—should be of utmost interest to fans: the online categories.

Moving on to the ladies, fans of Kimberly Chia (Don’t Stop Believin’), Felicia Chin (Don’t Stop Believin’) Rebecca Lim (Poetic Justice), Rui En (Poetic Justice) and Ann Kok (It Takes Two), gear up and get ready – it’s going to be tough competition in the Favourite Female Character category.

The competition heats up in the Favourite Onscreen couple category. This year, we see a birth of new TV couplings running for the award – apart from the usual pairings of Chrisseca (Christopher Lee and Jesseca Liu in Game Plan) and Ruivin (Rui En and Elvin Ng in Unriddle 2).

Zheng Ge Ping and Ann Kok who endeared TV viewers with their unlikely pairing in It Takes Two, will be going up against bittersweet lovers Dai Yang Tian and Zhou Ying (for The Quarters), and Alien and Rui En’s onscreen union in Joys of Life.

A total of four awards (Favourite Male Character, Favourite Female Character, Favourite Onscreen Couple and Favourite Host award) will be decided via online voting on xinmsn which kicks off in two weeks’ time on Feb 21.

Favourite Female Character:
1. Deng Yilin – Kimberly Chia in Don’t Stop Believin’
2. Du Si Man – Felicia Chin in Don’t Stop Believin’
3. Feng Luo Ling – Rebecca Lim in Poetic Justice
4. Liu Yan Zhi – Rui En in Poetic Justice
5. Vivian – Ann Kok in It Takes Two

Favourite Onscreen Couple:
1. A Pao and Vivian – Zheng Ge Ping and Ann Kok in It Takes Two
2. Bai Jin Hai and Huang Qiu Mei – Dai Yang Tian and Zhou ying in The Quarters
3. Hu Xiao Man and Xie Lang Feng – Elvin Ng and Rui En in Unriddle 2
4. Zeng Hao Ren and Zhao Xin Tong – Christopher Lee and Jesseca Liu in Game Plan
5. Zhao Ming Xing and Han Yongyong – Alien Huang and Rui En in Joys of Life

Best Actress:
Cynthia Koh in Show Hand
Joanne Peh in Pillow Talk
Kym Ng in It Takes Two
Rebecca Lim in Unriddle 2
Rui En in Unriddle 2

In her Element

This may not be Rui En’s first cover for us, but it’s a particularly momentous one as it marks her crowning ELLE’s Actress of the Year for 2012.

Four years have passed since her last cover shoot with us and she’s come a long way in that time. Her infamous “ice queen” label aside, she’s also acquired a couple of other things – a crop of other awards and along with that, a whole load of acting cred. Ever the professional, the actress strikes each pose with the utmost concentration, then studies the photos on-screen to see what can be improved. Even while holding a pose in front of the camera, she checks herself by getting her assistant to capture and bring her the shot on her iPhone. Does the perfectionist in her ever let up?

Rui En – Actress of the Year

On a winning streak and landing role after plum role, ELLE Awards 2012 Actress of the Year Rui En has officially hit a new high in her career.

By Tan Wei Lin

Rui En’s been extremely busy – not just with filming dramas back to back, but also successively racking up acting awards. After snagging her first Best Actress win at the 2011 Star Awards, she’s nabbed ELLE’s Actress of the Year for 2012, and hot on the heels of that, took yet another Best Actress honour from the Asian Television Awards 2012. Without a doubt, it’s been an exceptional two years for the actress, who’s also been enjoying plenty of screen time on Channel 8. And it looks set to continue through this year and beyond.

While she may not be bubbling with joy, our queen of cool asserts that she’s genuinely happy about the recognition, but is determined to remain grounded amid praise that her wins have generated.

How did you feel when you learnt about your win?
Rui En: I was pleasantly surprised and very happy. I don’t let myself have any expectations when I’m nominated, because I don’t like to base my sense of achievement on awards. But because of that, when I do get something, it’s a very nice surprise.

How do you assess your own acting?
Rui En: I watch myself [on screen] a lot. When I’m filming, I make it a point to watch and review the rushes after each day’s work. I’m actually my harshest critic and I set very high standards for myself. It’s never good enough for me but all I can do is try to keep getting better.

Let’s be honest — the local drama scene and its pool of actors are small. Do you ever feel limited by it?
Rui En: I try not to let my performance be affected by the people I’m acting with. Yes, the right person can give you the right chemistry, but it doesn’t always happen and you cannot expect it to. Your performance, in a way, has to stand on its own. I would love to have more opportunities to work with new people but unfortunately the circle is how it is. I guess it’s up to us to challenge ourselves.

Any plans to advance your acting career overseas?
Rui En: No, I don’t make plans like that. I’d rather let things happen when they’re supposed to. I don’t go thinking “Well, now I’ve made it here, I’m going to China.” If the opportunity comes, that’s great; if it doesn’t, that’s fine. The markets out there are a lot more complicated than a lot of us realise.

Babe, me?

She may have been calm and cool about her nomination, but her second Babe Of The Year win – with a record-breaking 6,405 votes – made actress Rui En “flabbergasted”.

In an email to The New Paper, the 31-year old said she was “bewildered” when she first heard the news about how many votes she had received this year.

She beat Jeanette Aw, who received 804 votes, and YouTube star Munah Bagharib, who received 183 votes.

“My fans… I have no words for how incredibly committed they are,” she said.

“Truly, any and all awards actually belong to RBKD, all my fans and them alone.”

RBKD, the moniker for Rui En’s fan club, was also responsible for her first Flame Awards trophy, also for Babe Of The Year, back in early 2009.

Then, she was up against this year’s nominee, Jeanette Aw, as well as Joanne Peh, both of whom had shined in blockbuster drama The Little Nyonya.

She had also been nonchalant about her chances then, saying it would be “The Little Nyonya year”.

Up against Aw again this year, as well as hot newcomer Munah Bagharib, Rui En declined to talk about her chances.

Now that she has won again, she is somewhat amused.

“I really am the sort to head down to the kopi tiam in shorts and slippers. Highly un-babe-like…” she said.

She had a few stern words for The New Paper about the title, too.

“I…have to be honest. Babe is really not one of the most favourite words of mine. To me, ‘babe’ means swaddled in pastel blankets and also had a lot of very strong Christmas connotations,” she said.

All right, we hear you. A name change may be in order. Who are we to argue with someone who has had such a great year in showbiz?

Her Babe Of The Year win caps a year of trophies, including Favourite Female Character at the Star Awards for her role in A Tale of 2 Cities, and Best Actress at the recent Asian Television Awards for her role in Unriddle 2.

All, one must note, without seemingly overly eager and overexposed or the opposite of completely catty or cold.

It is her refreshing “real-ness” that endears her to her fans, who “stretched” themselves this year to make sure she took home the Babe Of The Year title again.

RBKD fan club president Peh Xin Yi, 25 told The New Paper that this year, they heeded Rui En’s advice to “vote within their means”, but they strategised to ensure their idol would emerge tops.

“Our fan club has more than 90 members, but we posted about the Babe Of The Year voting through Facebook (where Rui En has more than 116,000 fans) and Twitter,” said the club president.

“We had one member who wanted to set aside $100 to vote for her (each SMS costs 20 cents), but we stopped her as we don’t believe in having one person vote excessively.

“That’s why we promoted it online.

“Flame Awards was one of the first we got for her (RBKD was formed in Nov 2008).

“It’s a great way to end the year.”

瑞恩今年雄霸多部重头新加坡电视剧的女主角地位，同时，在《亚洲电视大奖》中更获得’最佳女主角’的头衔，成为亚 洲视后。

瑞恩正如她的粉丝会名称一样’瑞（锐）不可当’，今年是唯一在3部重头电视剧担当女主角的演员：《最火搭档2》的胡小曼、《花样人间》的韩咏咏、以及《微笑正义》的刘言之，宜古宜今，是一位百变的艺人。
