It will be an extremely tough fight between the duo who are ranked ahead of their peers in the Online Awards powered by xinmsn for Favourite Female Character
Fervent supporters who have been anxiously rooting for their idols by voting daily can now breathe a little easier. For the past two weeks, fans were given a little glimpse into the plausible outcome of the Star Awards 2011 Online Awards.
To up the ante and excitement this time round, we are giving you an additional peek at how these artistes are faring at the charts. So, stay up to speed on the leading two nominees at the online polls and let your fingers do the rest of the work!
Going strong with a three-week leading streak, Rui En (Happy Family) and Elvin Ng (Breakout) continue to dominate the top spots for Favourite Female and Male Character respectively. Their competitors have — so far — proved to be of no competition against these two artistes’ wide-reaching fan bases.

Coming in close behind Rui En and Elvin Ng would be Jeanette Aw (Breakout) and Qi Yu Wu (The Family Court) for Favourite Female and Male Character respectively.
Similarly, taking top spot for Favourite On-Screen Couple (Drama) is the innocent and tender love shared between the Elvin-Zhou Ying coupling from Breakout with the fried rice couple, Christopher Lee and Jeanette Aw coming in close behind.

Moving on to one of the night’s most highly-anticipated categories – the Top 21 Most Popular Artistes, we see little or zero changes made to the male and female nomination list.
Shanghainese lass Zhou Ying fails to maintain her position in the currently-leading top 10 spots with Michelle Chia gaining traction and making it into the list. The current Top 10 Male Artiste in the lead remains the same.
Current Top 10 Female Artistes are Ann Kok, Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh, Lim Pei Fen, Michelle Chia, Quan Yi Fong, Rui En, Tiffany Leong, Vivian Lai and Yvonne Lim.

Apart from having to deal with a completely different character change, the local actress is also worried that TV audiences might be sick of a Rui En-Pierre Png onscreen pairing again

No doubt an acting chameleon, Rui En has proven her fine acting chops over the past two years and is unafraid of moving on to uncharted territories, just like her newest challenge where she plays a blind girl in On The Fringe.
She’s been making waves on television for successfully stepping out of her tough-cookie shadow and taking up different roles which ranged from woebegone (With You), and girlie (A Tale of Two Cities) to meek and docile in the upcoming Ch8 drama, The In-Laws.
While she still picks the crime-fighting Xiao Man from Unriddle as her personal favourite, she admits that her grieving widow role in With You helped “change the audience’s perception of me” and provided her with the much-needed breakthrough.
Scoring a Best Actress nomination at this year’s Star Awards for With You, Rui En is also currently leading in online polls for Favourite Female Character for her role in Happy Family. Speaking of her two nominations, she has “no expectations” and even has a few “ongoing bets” with friends that she wouldn’t clinch the coveted award.

At the press conference of The In-Laws held at Klapsons Boutique Hotel yesterday noon, she dubbed her onscreen character, Wang Jia Zhen as her “first damsel in distress role”.
Soft-spoken, demure and passive are certainly not words one would use to describe this plucky actress who sports a distinctive tomboyish streak. As always, she would feel “pressured” by new roles though she felt that this has been absolutely refreshing for her.
“When characters are different from a person’s personality, you have to be careful to not slip back into your own self because who you are is how you act,” she admitted in an interview with xinmsn.

As if she was still in character, Rui En spoke in a soft voice and said, “I would use her eyes and try to make sure her eyes are very soft… I would also use my voice because my voice is naturally very deep, so I thought of making the voice for this character a little bit softer.”
While the main challenge posed by the new drama was the constant need to “focus 100%”, admittedly, Rui En is worried about being paired with Pierre Png in two consecutive drama series.

Although she’s “very worried that people are sick of seeing us together”, Rui En believes that their different characters in the recently-concluded A Tale of Two Cities and the new show have a “different feel”, and hopes to give viewers a refreshing take on their onscreen relationship this time round.
Apart from this being her first submissive role, this is also her first time “doing a show where my husband is more afraid of his mother than me”.
“My nickname for this family [in The In-Laws] is The Addams family. They are terrible and so crazy! (Laughs).”
And what if she ever encounters such demanding, meddlesome and devious in-laws?
“I would run away to India. Seriously, I would just run,” she jokingly remarked, bursting into fits of laughter at the thought of it.
It’s Rui En vs. ‘The Addams Family’.
Which is Rui En’s favourite character so far?
The In-Laws debuts on April 12 and will be aired on weekdays, Ch8, 9pm.

An actress, host, radio deejay, beauty queen all rolled into one, Chris’s work schedule is always packed to the brim with little room for a breather.
Following the wrap-up of upcoming action-packed Ch8 production, C.L.I.F, the 26-year-old suffered a case of the heebie-jeebies when she landed another role in a soon-to-be-filmed action-centric production with Rui En and Elvin Ng.

The comedian reckons it will be a tough fight between the two princesses who both have strong and big fanbases

Last year, Jeanette Aw walked home with the trophy for Most Favourite Female Character as Yao Jianhong in Together. Even Felicia Chin who raked in triple nominations for Love Blossoms (Tao Haitong), The Ultimatum (Sun Min), and Baby Bonus (Apple Hong) proved to be no match for her.
With a whittled-down list of nominees and the well-loved Felicia Chin out of the picture this year, we see a mix of actresses from drama and variety programmes standing as the final five competing for the top spot of Favourite Female Character.
This year, Zhou Ying (Tang Ying in Breakout), Michelle Chong (Xie Yu Yu in Black Rose), and Quan Yi Fong (Yao Yao in Black Rose) will be going up against two “idols” Rui En (Yang Xiao Dong in Happy Family) and Jeanette Aw (Yang Nianqing in Breakout), of which both command astronomical fanbases in Singapore.
Think of this as a high school popularity contest with the outcome purely determined by online votes.
Unlike the professionally judged categories, fans and viewers will have a say in the overall outcome for these Online Award categories. Once a day, the public can vote online for their favourite male and female characters, favourite on-screen couple, and their favourite on-screen partners in variety programmes.
It’s no surprise to see versatile comedian and actress Michelle Chong grab her first nomination in the favourite female character category as her popularity has been on the upswing following a bountiful 2010 and the return of Ch5’s The Noose in March.
Michelle landed her first big break in a Ch8 drama series, Mrs P.I last year and bagged two nominations for Best Comedy performance in 2010’s Asian Television Awards.
“Honoured and very happy” to be voted amongst the “idols” (Rui En and Jeanette), Michelle was pleasantly surprised when informed of her nomination in the online category. Despite that, the actress firmly believes that she stands a slim or no chance at taking home the award.
“It’s very different because that’s drama and I’m nominated for my work in variety. I don’t think the variety people stand a chance.
“I think Rui En stands a big chance ‘cos she has a very strong fanbase. Jeanette stands a chance too because this role in Breakout was much talked about. She put a lot of work into the character,” she adds.
In any case, with the voting power entirely in the public’s hands, one can never be too sure.
