What's
in store at Star Awards 2001?
Taken
from our Star
Awards 2001 message boards:

The Challenge is nominated for Best Theme Song
|

Dasmond Koh only bags a nomination for Best
Variety Show Host this year
|
·
Terence
and Vincent
should be nominated for Best Actor. Their performance in The
Challenge is
so convincing. Also, why is Dasmond Koh not in the Top 20 (Most
Popular Male Artistes)? He is the most popular DJ in Singapore and
yet he is not nominated in the Most Popular category.

Tonight With Chor Meng is nominated for Best
Variety Idea Architect (behind the scenes)
|
·
I'm disappointed that Tonight
With Chor Meng did not get a nomination in the Best Variety
Programme category. Also, Chor
Meng deserves a nomination in the Best Host category, he was
very eloquent and brought life to that show.

Li Nanxing is nominated for Best Actor and
Most Popular Male Artiste (local and Malaysia)
|
·
I am so surprised that nobody was nominated for acting awards .
. . in In
Pursuit Of Peace, including Mai Haowei, Qi
Yuwu, Priscelia Chan, and Li
Nanxing . . . Nobody ever tells us who decides on the nomination
and based on what criteria. Shouldn't the web people find out and
inform us?

Ok,
we've heard you speak, so we'll now spill the beans on the nomination
mechanisms of the Star Awards 2001.
