The ceremony has come and gone and the winners have been announced. I think it's fair to say that I totally missed out on the winners. My predictions were quite, er, really off. But no matter. Because, well, I didn't watch 90% of the movies there. If you wanted to know what my predictions were, head on over here. But the important thing tonight is the winners! And here they are, the winners of the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards.
Note: Apparently there is a Daesang! But it's just not announced prior to the ceremony. I think they would choose the movies/dramas overall and choose the creme of the crop.

I was pretty off, but some were right so I'll give myself a pat in the back for those. As for the dramas, so happy that Trees with Deep Roots won a considerable amount of awards. But I don't know why Kim Soo-hyun won instead of friggin Han Suk-gyu. I have yet to watch Moon that Embraces the Sun, but I think Han Suk-gyu was so awesome in Trees that, well, if it wasn't him, who else?
I know, I know you're asking "Where's the fashion?!" It will come at a later date. Preferably tomorrow. So look forward to that! As for now, I congratulate all the winners. And may South Korea bring us more amazing works in the year to come.
Edit: Please do realize that sometimes, or most of the times, the winners of these awards aren't chosen in the most fair manner possible. It's just like any other award shows where the winners might not be who you'd think will win, and that's okay. It's not a be all, end all thing. And no, I didn't choose the winners, if anyone's wondering. Check the source below or watch the show if you can get your hands on it. Maybe engage in some eye candy sighting, which might be fun.

where's Brain & Shin Ha Kyun ??? sigh...
ReplyDeletethe moon & Kim soo hyun is good but not the best for me...
I agree. Shin Ha Gyun really did a very great job in brain. His acting was really superb. I actually thought he'd nail this one because I personally think that, for his role in Brain, he deserves more recognition.
DeleteI've seen moon-sun and I have always loved Kim Soo Hyun. But if you'd ask me which, for me, was the best, it's Shin Ha Gyun. He's so good to the point that his character, Lee Gang Hun is my favorite lead character of all time. Seriously.
Whoever wrote the article, maybe you shouldn't publish it until you have at least watched some of the shows before you shoot your mouth off. You are being very misleading and not fair.
ReplyDeleteI know that I'm being really unfair judging without actually watching every single show. I admit that I'm wrong there. But, I'm not trying to mislead anyone, it's just my personal opinion. If anyone would want to believe every single thing that I say, then that's up to them. Besides, the main point of the article is the announcement of the winners and the winners are chosen by the Baeksang judges, not me.
DeleteEvery critics expect older actors should win the awards rather than a younger actor but time has change.Younger blood like KSH could deliver such an astounding performances is very rare and he deserves the award.
ReplyDeleteMy views is IF older actors are so good they should get an Baeksang award long ago.
So far TMTETS is the best Kdrama I had ever watched.
"Different strokes for different folks
That's true, and the Best Actor for Film went like that (Ahn Seong-gi was the oldest nominee). This (last?) year's dramas were all excellent with amazing leads, I'm sure it was difficult for them to choose. Perhaps you're right, because KSH is so young, it an easier choice for him to win.
