Reality Bites Back
Reality TV Stars bite a huge chunk off the awards pie at Oscars this year

It was a night of glitz and glamour for the gathered masses of this year’s most celebrated faces, both on the TV and silver screen, as well as the musical scene. The lines of trademark Oscar the Grouch trashcan trophies (made from 100% stainless steel courtesy of Sesame Street Productions ©) sparkled and glowed under the spotlights as Reality TV emerge as the biggest winners, with its stars sweeping the awards, quite literally, into their own personal trashcan collection.

Reality TV’s favorite couple Bennah Wee’s "Newly-Wees" Reality TV show was another hot favorite with the audiences but JXHK’s “A Fame Life” outdid them in popularity to emerge the winners of Best Reality TV Series. After going up onto stage to receive that award, JX and HK lived up to their reputation of being funny 24/7 by sending the audiences into stitches whenever they return to accept subsequent new awards, all the while continuing the appreciation speech they started, but could not complete on the first Trashcan.

It was a close fight till the end in determining who the Best Film of 2005 was. However underdog, actress Salty, claimed multiple awards for her film “Chronicles of Narnia: The Turkey, The Xmas Tree and the Wardrobe” for both Best Female Lead and Best Film. Beating off close competitor “Hairy Porter and He Gobble Up Fire”, CON:TXW was also the most expensive film made to date. Raking up to an approximate US$5416million, with a huge portion of the budget going into hiring international furniture franchise IKEA to produce the most impressive wardrobe ever seen. PY received the award of Best Supporting Female Actress for her role as Princess Pat-Me Armadillo in “Starwars Episode I: Sailormoon Fights Back”.

Newlywed pop duo Bennah Wee was crowned the Pop Royalties of 2005 with two new awards under their belts: Best Newcomer and Best song. Hot favorites of the night, the “Choirboys”, walked home with a disappointing note leaving the auditorium with only one trashcan, Best Original Score for a Movie (Original winners F4 couldn’t turn up for the award ceremony due to a miscommunication and misunderstanding of the date of award ceremony.).

The highlight of the award show last night was the opening act by newly wed celebrity couple Bennah Wee, performing their award winning single “Collarshirt Gal”, costumes sponsored by local brand Hang 10. Other performances also include more tracks from Bennah Wee’s latest album, including a love song penned by Ben himself for his beloved wife Nana, titled Rich Gal (Nanana) featuring JXHK.

The night also paid tribute to eighties legendary musical icons “Niang Zi and her Golden Peonies” for their efforts and contributions to the music industry of today. However only one out of the legendary four turned up last evening for the award ceremony with the other three members either dead, alive or locked up in an old folks home. Niang Zi the lead singer of the quartet came in her pyjamas to accept her Honorary Award but aroused a major disturbance when she insisted that Tyren Tan was her long lost Xiang Gong of ten years. The evening ended off in pandemonium as Niang Zi was pulled off stage and put to sleep behind stage (not death but just merely tucked into bed). Things look promising for rising young stars JXHK and the Oscars only goes to prove that the world should watch out for their every move come 2006.
