The TVB Million Star Awards 2024 has stirred excitement among newcomers as the ceremony just unveiled two new categories aimed at celebrating fresh talent: Best Male Newcomer and Best Female Newcomer. These additions aim to encourage artists who have made their debut within the past five years, offering recognition to those making strides in the competitive entertainment industry.
Among the nominees, 譚輝智, humorously dubbed the "oldest newcomer" at 40, expressed his mixed feelings about competing against significantly younger artists: "I am 40 years old. The others are all in their twenties, so if I win, it would be honoring the elderly," he candidly remarked. On stage, 譚輝智 tackled the subjects of confidence and humor, stating, "Confidence just slightly, winning would feel really awkward!" His self-deprecatory comments reflect both the positive spirit and competitive atmosphere of the event.
Another standout nominee is 陳懿德, who has also attracted attention through her remarkable talent this past year. With nominations for Best Female Newcomer, Best Female Host, and Most Improved Female Artist, she cheekily dubbed herself "3 flying" for her three nominations. "I hope everyone votes for me. I’ve been improving every year and this feels like winning already. Getting 10 spots is already amazing,” said 陳懿德, radiantly discussing her hopes for the awards. Her enthusiasm is palpable as she acknowledges her qualifying achievements since entering the industry three years ago.
陳自瑤, also known as Yoyo, spoke similarly about her nomination for Best Female Lead. Expressing gratitude, she revealed, "The nomination feels great, especially with such strong competitors like 阿怡 and 龔嘉欣." She emphasized her sense of honor just to be nominated and reflected on her previous nomination experiences, stating, "This is my official first nomination" since her role was part of a single-episode show last time. Her confidence resonates as she embraces the heavy competition around her.
Meanwhile, 張曦雯 confidently declared her plans to vote strategically, expressing faith in herself and her outstanding colleagues: “Confidence is key, and I will definitely vote for myself and fellow nominees.” She elaborated on her appreciation for her grow-historically significant series, "企業強人," and reaffirmed her hopes for it to emerge as the big winner of the night. “I aim to see it become the major recipient of the awards,” she added.
The atmosphere surrounding the awards is undeniably electrifying, with nominees celebrating not just the prospect of winning but also the acknowledgment of their hard work and talent. It is clear from their anecdotes and interactions during the press conference, held on December 20, 2024, at the TVB City studio, how much these up-and-coming stars cherish the recognition this event brings.
The 2024 TVB Million Star Awards promises not only to spotlight the best of new talent but also to engage audiences who wish to participate through viewers' choice votes. The ceremony not only recognizes talent but boosts morale among young performers laying the groundwork for potential future stars. Here's to the joy of entertainment as it continues to shine brightly through its remarkable newcomers!
