Instagram/Brandon WongLast year, when Brandon Wong scored his first-ever win at Star Awards — the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes award — after acting for 27 years, colleagues and local viewers cheered hard for him., he said: "I've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor and even Best Actor many times, but I was always lacking something.
Brandon also jokingly said that his win last year for Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes secured his position as an 'idol' in the industry, and these nominations now prove that he doesn't fall short in the "finesse" category, either. He then becomes a ghost that haunts actress Gu Xin , who is the only one capable of helping him clear his regrets and reincarnate.
Chalking it up to people being taken by his emotional speech at last year's Star Awards and people paying closer attention to his performances, Brandon said that this has all culminated in his nominations announced today.And despite his nominations now and his win last year, Brandon's held firm that these awards aren't really what matters to him.
"Whether or not I win prizes is just icing on the cake… that's beyond our control. What I can control is that when I receive this role, I do my homework, do my job and give my best."
