One thing we learnt from the night’s proceedings at the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 awards ceremony: When brought together, both Rui En and Elvin Ng’s fanclubs, RBKD and Elvinology, are a force to be reckoned with.

The two fanclubs made their presence known with their colourful fan paraphernalia and boisterous cheers for ‘Ruivin’ (a nickname coined to term Rui En’s onscreen coupling with Elvin), which could be heard both inside and outside the TV theatre. These fans’ consistent hard work in the online votes saw the two actors constantly top the online polls for their double nominations during xinmsn’s weekly updates, and their persistence paid off.

Apart from nabbing the Favourite On-Screen Couple award for their Song Yazai and Ou Kelu pairing in Code of Honour, both Rui En and Elvin Ng also walked away with the Favourite Character award in the male and female categories for their work in A Tale of 2 Cities (Zhang Yale) and C.L.I.F. (Teo Kwee Xiang) respectively.

In a backstage interview with xinmsn after the awards ceremony, the duo shared that they were “pleasantly surprised” at how the “alliance” formed between their fanclubs to help rally more votes for their nomination.

“This nickname (Ruivin) came out a long time ago so I’m already used to it. They probably followed in the footsteps of what is done in Hollywood and took a cue from ‘Bradgelina’ (laughs). Of course, we’re not on the same ranks as these stars but I find it really amusing,” said Rui En, who was decked in a white studded Versace dress.

Before the awards were handed out, a short Code of Honour spoof – to speak of Elvin and Rui En’s shaky working relationship – was put up by Dennis Chew and Quan Yifong during the award ceremony. The duo broke into laughter at the thought of it and Rui En reaffirmed their good working relationship with one another when she praised Elvin for understanding her working habits.

The 31-year-old said, “I’m a person of little words at work. What I admire about Elvin is that he respects my needs to have personal space at work.”

Commenting on the second spoof which was much-talked about and mimicked the infamous rape scene between her and Zhang Yaodong’s character in On The Fringe, the actress was cool about it and said that it was a form of “entertainment” with “entertainment value”.

Elvin, who is also the Systema Charming Smile award winner for the second year running, clarified that “most people mistake silence for enmity,” as Rui En chimed in agreement, “It’s because we get along well with and share good chemistry [which is why no words are needed].

To celebrate their wins, Elvin shared that Elvinology has already planned a surprise for him; Rui En intends to handover her Favourite Female Character trophy to RBKD to thank them for their endless support “because it belongs to them.”

RBKD shared a picture of the two trophies that Rui En gave. The blue trophy is from last year’s Favourite Female Character win while the purple trophy is from this year’s win.

Psst… Who Will Win?

By Jonathan Fam

Best Actress

8 DAYS’ Pick

While Joanne Peh and Rui En have flashier roles, Zoe Tay, who was so graceful and subtle as a long-suffering mother of five in Devotion, has the emotional heft. Hopefully, that’s makes the difference and she’ll be rewarded with her first Best Actress win in 16 years.

You’ve been in Singapore for the past few months filming your first Ch 8 drama, Joys of Life. Do you hang out with the cast outside of work?

Rui En has her own plans after work every day. She really treasures her personal space and privacy. Once work ends, she takes off very quickly. There were a couple of times I wanted to ask her to join us, but she disappeared even before I changed out of my outfit. Maybe next time.

黄俊雄（左）和瑞恩的粉丝群强大，努力在网上投票。

瑞恩、黄俊雄粉丝联盟，要破李铭顺与刘子绚的『最喜爱男、女角色』和『最喜爱荧幕情侣』梦！

第一场《红星大奖2012》今晚举行，瑞恩、黄俊雄有望在粉丝的合力“撮合”之下，拿下“最喜爱男、女角色”和“最喜爱荧幕情侣”。反之，李铭顺和刘子绚虽然有大批阿嫂粉丝拥趸，但败在阿嫂粉丝不是网络的积极分子，在这方面的投选活动上，无疑处于劣势。

根据新传媒发布的最后一期网络投选成绩，发现“最喜爱男、女角色”依旧是黄俊雄、李铭顺、瑞恩和刘子绚4人之争。刘子绚在《行医》饰演的“敏妃”尽管在第3期网络投选成绩中，一度超越瑞恩在《乐在双城》中饰演的“章雅乐”，不过仍不敌瑞恩粉丝的猛烈投票攻势，在第4期（也是最后一期）的成绩中败下阵来。

李铭顺刘子绚粉丝较零散

据了解，李铭顺和刘子绚的粉丝比较零散，相较瑞恩和黄俊雄各自拥有强大粉丝群，除了人数众多也非常团结，为偶像尽心尽力，投票支持偶像夺奖更是不遗余力。

因此，预估《红星》首场“最喜爱男、女角色”和“最喜爱荧幕情侣”，在粉丝的强势抢攻下，应该会是“公主”瑞恩与“王子”黄俊雄的囊中物。

瑞恩黄俊雄粉丝联盟

瑞恩和黄俊雄尽管在拍摄《正义武馆》期间，一度传出不和，但，无损2人粉丝团结、对抗阿哥阿姐。为了对抗“外敌”李铭顺和刘子绚，2人的死忠粉丝不惜友善“联盟”，避免分散票数让“渔翁得利”。

在过去1个月的“最喜爱”网络奖项投选活动期间，2阵营粉丝见彼此偶像排名领先，也会在推特（Twitter）上相互道贺鼓励，势力不可挡。

In the first of our three-part Star Award winners’ prediction, we give you an insight on who we think will bring home the trophies at the upcoming Star Awards 2012 Show 1

Text: xinmsn team

After close to seven weeks of fervent voting from fans, we are finally reaching the final leg of the upcoming Star Awards 2012 online polls for categories such as Favourite Female and Male Character, Favourite On-Screen Couple award, Favourite Variety Host, and the Systema Charming Smile award.

Before the winners are unveiled at the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 this Sunday, the golden question remains: will the hot favourite pairing of RuiVin (Rui En and Elvin) from Code of Honour take the top spot or will Christopher Lee and Jesseca Liu’s chemistry in medical drama, The Oath, win them the honours?

Following our last update on the online polls, we saw Rui En shooting back to the top spot after Jesseca broke her leading streak in the Favourite Female Character two weeks ago. Will Jesseca eventually bring home the coveted trophy or will it fall back into the arms of Rui En, who has topped the category for six weeks?

Sticking by traditions, in the first of a three-part series, we take time off to study the odds and make our guesses for the Favourite Male and Female Characters, Favourite On-screen Couple (Drama), and the Favourite Variety Host award.

Who will eventually win the online awards? With one day left before the polls close tomorrow, it’s best to make the most out of your precious vote and make the last one count – you have till 8.30pm tomorrow.

Favourite Female Character
The stars say…
It’s gotta be leading lady Rui En, who has enjoyed an undisputed lead in the online polls for six straight weeks, apart from a slight scare which saw Jesseca overtaking her two weeks ago.

Rui En’s wide-range of acting capabilities can be seen from her choice of drama series in recent years such as her tough cop turn in Unriddle 1 & 2, playing a bereaved widow in With You, and for her nominated role in A Tale of 2 Cities as girly spoilt brat, Zhang Yale.

Apart from having the acting chops and range, Rui En has RBKD (her official fanclub), a large and well-organized fanbase behind her back. Her fans got back to voting religiously and fervently, and successfully reclaimed her top spot last week, after she lost the lead two weeks back. Their dedication speaks volumes, and for us, it simply means an undisputed win for Rui En.

Rui En in A Tale of 2 Cities and Jesseca Liu in The Oath

The dark horse…
Jesseca Liu — need we explain more? The latter has been running neck-to-neck with Rui En for the top spot since voting commenced on Mar 1, which speaks of her wide appeal and fan base. Not only that, she has managed to – surprise, surprise! — usurp the top spot from Rui En two weeks ago in our last online polls update.

She may no longer be a contracted artiste with MediaCorp but this lithe actress’ market demand and popularity remains. After playing a highly principled western doctor Yang Minfei in The Oath last year, she will be starring opposite Taiwanese heartthrob Kingone Wang in the upcoming Ch8 drama series, Yours Fatefully.

Favourite On-Screen Couple

The stars say…
We’re all for Code of Honour’s Song Yazai (Elvin) and Ou Kelu (Rui En). The pair won honours in this category back in 2010 for their collaboration in The Dream Catchers. The duo’s much-talked-about chemistry has won them fans and a term was even coined to describe their coupling – RuiVin.

The undisputed leaders who have consistently remained in the first spot for the Favourite On-Screen Couple award after seven weeks of voting are the strongest contenders in the category. Their solid lead is further reaffirmed with the help of Unriddle 2, which features RuiVin and coincidentally coincided with the voting period, giving viewers a peek at their chemistry when sparks flew between their onscreen characters.

The dark horse…
Going by the polls, the second hot favourite pair of Jesseca and Chris is set to be the next-strongest competitor against RuiVin.

We wonder why Jesseca and Chris have yet to be christened with a nickname of their own such as ChrisSeca or JessTopher. The duo’s on-screen compatibility can be seen from their first collaboration in ChU’s Secrets For Sale and they were brought back together again in last year’s The Oath, delighting viewers and fans.

Playing a western doctor and a Chinese physician at odds with one another in The Oath, Jesseca and Chris’ onscreen bantering and compatibility has won over a league of loyal fans, opening a slim possibility for this coupling to topple RuiVin’s reign in the polls for Favourite On-Screen Couple.

《红星大奖2012》迈入高潮，第一场颁奖礼明晚举行，xinmsn预测瑞恩和黄俊雄将称霸网上投选！

ç”±xinmsn鼎力推动的网上投选活动，从3月起接受网友们的投票，选出心目中”最喜爱男角色”、”最喜爱女角色”、”最喜爱荧幕情侣”å’Œ”最喜爱综艺主持人”。

投选明晚截止，成绩将于颁奖礼上公布，xinmsn娱乐组依据前几期的成绩，做出以下分析预测。

最喜爱女角色
入围者：《乐在双城》章雅乐（瑞恩饰）、《行医》杨敏妃（刘子绚饰）、《甘榜情》冯月满（郭舒贤饰）、《阿娣》林珊珊（王心如饰）、《边缘父子》阿雅（谢静仪饰演）
热门：《乐在双城》章雅乐（瑞恩饰）
黑马：《行医》杨敏妃（刘子绚饰）

竞争最激烈的网上奖项，原以为拥有强大粉丝阵容的瑞恩所向无敌，会一路领先到最终，不料紧跟在后的刘子绚，第3期（至4月5日早上9点）终于突破重围，杨敏妃暂时夺冠，章雅乐沦为亚军。

虽然如此，被震到的瑞恩粉丝铁定奋起直追，第4期（至4月12日早上9点）成功收复失地。瑞恩去年凭《过好年》的杨小冬获奖，只要粉丝持之以恒，成绩应该不会让人跌破眼镜。

最喜爱荧幕情侣
入围者：《正义武馆》宋亚仔和欧可璐（黄俊雄和瑞恩饰）、《行医》吴国恩和杨敏妃（李铭顺和刘子绚饰）、《麻婆斗妇》萧建海和王佳珍（方展发和瑞恩饰）、《边缘父子》田一邦和刘佳芳（李南星和范文芳饰）、《警徽天职》唐耀佳和廖心怡（戚玉武和白薇秀饰）
热门：《正义武馆》宋亚仔和欧可璐（黄俊雄和瑞恩饰）
黑马：《行医》吴国恩和杨敏妃（李铭顺和刘子绚饰）

去年这个奖项赛事激烈，《破天网》的司徒东城和杨念青（李铭顺和欧萱饰），尬上《破天网》邹杰明和汤颖（黄俊雄和周颖饰），几个星期不分高低，最终由前者脱颖而出。

今年，深受喜爱的黄俊雄与瑞恩搭档，双剑合拼，所向披靡。虽然李铭顺和刘子绚在《行医》的搭配赢得观众赞赏，但面对如此强悍的对手，也只能甘拜下风。

Fan clubs are furious that this year’s event is ticketed with high prices.

By Rachael Boon

For the first time, fans will have to pay to attend the Star Awards, MediaCorp’s annual glitzy affair which honours the best in local television.

The awards ceremony this year will be held at Sands Grand Ballroom at Marina Bay Sands on April 29. Tickets cost $58 and $98, and went on sale from April 5 from Sistic and the MBS ticketing site.

The event was previously held in the MediaCorp TV Theatre and places such as St James Power Station in 2006, and Resorts World Sentosa last year. Tickets were distributed to fans of nominated artists, which depended on the nominations an artist got, or to fans who wrote in.

The admission fee was a surprise to fan clubs of local artists, whose members are regular attendees of the show.

Undergraduate Rina Oon, 24, chairman of Jollity Club for fans of actress Joanne Peh, has attended at least three shows. “I’m shocked. In previous years, MediaCorp allocated tickets to fan clubs but when we wrote in for tickets this year, they said they’d be charges,” she said.

The Star Awards this year will feature a performance by Korean-American R&B singer Jay Park.

Mr Paul Chan, vice-president of MediaCorp Channel 8 Branding & Promotions, said: “In line with the practices of international award shows, the Star Awards will be a ticketed event and 95 per cent of the tickets have been snapped up.”

Some fans, who are students, said the tickets prices were too steep for them. Ms Oon said:”Some of our secondary school members cannot afford to pay.”

Only five Jollity Club members, including Ms Oon, will attend the show this year, compared to more than 20 members last year. They are all working adults who bought the $58 tickets.

To cope with the costs, fan clubs such as RBKD, which supports actress Rui En and the Yverlasting Yvonne Official Fanclub, which supports actress Yvonne Lim, have plans to help members.

RBKD has an instalment plan for student members, who can pay for tickets in three instalments over three months, while an anonymous donor is sponsoring more than 10 tickets for members of the Yverlasting Yvonne Official Fanclub.

Student Yip Kah Yin, 17, who is a RBKD member, took up the instalment scheme. She will pay for her $98 ticket in three parts and has already paid $41.

Freelancer Stephanie tay, 23, president of Yverlasting Yvonne Official Fanclub, said it was unreasonable to ticket the Star Awards. “The event seems to be catering to international fans who went to see artists such as Jay Park,” she said.

This defeats the purpose of the awards, she added, because “this is an event for Singapore, which is a very big deal for people like us who support local stars and it is held once a year.”

Asked if subsequent Star Awards would be ticketed, Mr Chan said: “We will review this on a year-by-year basis.”

The main reason local fan clubs are so furious, said Ms Tay, is because MediaCorp has not been helpful with the tickets.

She said: “I understand they are ticketing it to make it an international show.

But if they want to maintain the standard of being a prestigious event, at least help local fan clubs by blocking off seats or giving better seats, the way organisers block seats for official fan clubs at concerts.”
