Sisley Choi and Vincent Wong Win TVB Best Actress and Best Actor

The 2020 TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony was held today, naming Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) Best Actress and Vincent Wong (王浩信) Best Actor for their performances in Legal Mavericks 2 <踩過界II>. Another big winner for the night was Katy Kung (龔嘉欣), who won Most Popular Female Character and Malaysia’s Favorite TVB Actress awards.

Winning his first Best Actor in 2017’s Legal Mavericks, Vincent clinched the award again in the sequel in the same role as a righteous blind lawyer. Viewers also voted for him to win Malaysia’s Favorite TVB Actor award. Though Vincent has ended his contract with TVB and signed with its sister company, Shaw Brothers, he will no doubt continue to partner with the station. In his acceptance speech, the 37-year-old said, “Thanks to my family and [my wife] Yoyo Chen (陳自瑤) for taking good care of our daughter. Thanks to TVB for cultivating me for 15 years. I hope everyone has a better year ahead in 2021.”

It was a tight battle for Best Actress, but Sisley defeated Katy despite her drama airing later in the year. Though Sisley was a negative-rumor magnet at the start of her career, the 29-year-impressed in Legal Mavericks 2 in the scene where she felt “betrayed” by Vincent’s character. In her acceptance speech, Sisley said, “Three years ago when I was on stage, I said ‘I don’t even like myself!’ These years, I’ve matured and experienced a lot. I realize I have a lot of people who love me. Many thanks to the people who worked with me and their tolerance! I know I still have a lot of imperfections. Thanks to TVB for letting me realize my acting dreams and the people who gave me opportunities, so I can try out new things.”

With 2020 being a breakout year for Katy, the 31-year-old actress impressed viewers in Death by Zero <殺手> and Hong Kong Love Stories <香港愛情故事>. Crying on stage, Katy said, “This is a heavy award. Many thanks to TVB and Malaysia for voting for me. Thanks to Wayne Lai (黎耀祥) who taught me about an actor’s professionalism. Thanks to Catherine Tsang (曾勵珍) for teaching me to be a [better] person …I will do my best in my acting career.”

The most successful drama of the year was Al Cappuccino <反黑路人甲>, sweeping awards in five categories including Best Drama, Malaysia’s Favorite TVB Drama, Best Supporting Actress for Winki Lai (賴慰玲), Favorite Male Character Award for Owen Cheung (張振朗), and Best Partnership Award for Vincent, Owen, and Brian Chu (朱敏瀚).
