The nomination list for the 43th Golden Bell Awards is out. Female idols Rainie Yang, Ariel Lin, Chen Qiao En and Angela Zhang have all been nominated for “Best Actress”. The 4 golden flowers usually always compete for the TV queen throne, and now they must compete for the golden bell award. Rainie and Qiao En are the hot favourites but none of the male leads for their idol dramas have been nominated. This year, it seems like the females are dominating, and the males’ performances seem to be very average.

It is Rainie, Ariel and Qiao En’s first time to be nominated for this award. Yesterday, Rainie was dubbing for her current idol drama “Miss No Good” and as soon as she got the phone call, she immediately started crying. She says that this time, to be nominated for this award, she is very happy indeed.

Yesterday, as soon as Ariel was informed that she was nominated, she immediately rang Rainie to congratulate her. And Rainie also said she will be happy no matter who wins. As for Angela, she remained very calm, her reaction was, “Oh, really.” However, she says that she is very thankful to the director of “Romantic Princess” – Director Lin, because “although he always yells at me, and it makes me really want to swear back at him, but really he helped me a lot.”

This year’s red hot SETTV idol drama “Fated To Love You” was nominated for a total of 6 awards. Male lead Ethan Ruan was always more noticed than Chen Qiao En, but this time, for the golden bell awards, she finally has her chance to stand out. Qiao En, who is currently in Hong Kong said, “Acting is my dream, and now this proves that my dream is right.”

However, the girls’ partners Ethan Ruan, Joe Cheng, Wu Zun and Mike He all failed to be nominated for “Best Actor” and even Vic Zhou (ZaiZai)’s “Sweet Relationship” was not nominated. Out of the 4 females, they each have their own style and characteristics, but it is said that Rainie’s performance was very natural, so her chance of getting the award is very high.
