The Nataraja Awards 2011 just finished airing a few hours ago on Ch5. Everyone looked great, BEAUTIFUL. No one was lip-synching when they had to sing the nominated best lakorn songs. Singers from the Star franchise, KPN franchise, and selected AF kids were grouped together to sing the songs. It was a live performance that bedazzled me, it was like a mini concert with all these talented young Thai singers. I was blown away.
The duet between Gam and Patcha for the song “Pler Ruk Mot Jai (Absent-minded Love)” from the lakorn “Dok Ruk Rim Tang (Roadside Love Flower)” was one of the highlights of the show.
Though the show was beautifully orchestrated, it was a little off , Ploy Chermarn was not there to accept her Best Actress award for the lakorn ‘Rabam Duang Dao (The Star Dance)’, Ken Theeradeth had to awkwardly accept the award on her behalf. Ken presented the nominees and named the winner Ploy Chermarn but she never came up. There was an odd pause where Ken stood to the side waiting for Ploy to come up. Then he realizes she is not coming, so he had to accept the award on her behalf with a chuckle. There is a whole discussion about this at Pantip. The first annual Nataraja Awards was amazing–this year, some complained it lacked ‘ dara spirit’ because some of the nominees did not attend. ‘Chai’ Chatayodom Hiranyatsathiti and Ploy Chermarn won but did not attend. “Aff” Taksaorn Paksukcharean and “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea who were nominated in the Best Actress category did not attend, it was quite noticeable too. For the Best Supporting Actor award, only one nominee was present, Puri Hiranpruk. It was really off.
Ken accepting Ploy’s award starts around the 5:20 time mark.

Woody and Mam doing a celebrity parody song of Bird Thongchai’s song “too much so much very much”. It’s creative.
“Grand” Phanwarot Duaysianklao’s kiwi green dress is beautiful, but it looks kinda big for her, she is not filling out the top half. Her guy accessory, “Tono” Pakin Kumvilaisak looks handsome beside her. Vee and Tangmoe look odd together.
Ken and his wife Noi matched in red
TIK!
Bie Sukrit and Nok Sinjai
Jaja Pimrada’s lilac dress is too much and ‘Aimee’ Morakot Kittisara is dressed like she is a high powered executive from the 1980′s, the ginormous stacked pearl ball earrings makes the look even worst. This whole look aged her by 20 years.
Pear and Sabai from “Sanae Bankgok”, they cleaned up well, especially Gunjaesal. Then there are the boys of the Star franchise, no comments on them.
Vee and Tangmoe, Susie and Louise
The Tard Ruk (Slave Love) couple Janie Tienposuwan and “Por” Sahawong Thrisadee. He is the princess’s bodyguard and she is the slave who is then transformed by him to be a princess to product the real princess.
Winners Kik and Captain.
‘Dew’ Phongsathon Supinyo and ‘Singto’ Singharat Chanphakdee
Pretty boy singers Tono and ‘Two’ Popetorn Soonthornyanakij,
Susie and Louise Scott again
“NamPueng” Nattharika Thammapreedanan and Jaja
Yui Jiranan and Da Endorphine
Anne Thongprasom and Aom Piyada
Nat Myria and “Joy” Rinlanee Sripen
Chatchai Plengpanich and Ken.
“Porsche” Saran Siriluksana and ‘Gunjaesal’ Panthong Boonthong
I sincerely hate group pictures at award shows.
I just now saw this post. Lol. Or perhaps I missed it but anyways, wow! I never knew Nampueng and Jaja would look so alike until you posted pictures of them together (separately, lol). They really look alike. Like they can pass for mother-daughter. I really like Susie’s look. She looks stunning to me. Yui has incredibly great skin and flawless makeup on. Out of everyone, her face is glowing. Overall, congrats to Captain. Love him. ( ;
Por and Janie, hands down, they’re so cute together
ahhh! Salan! <3 Porshe and Sal
ann looks so pretty-simple but elegant dress ^^
I believe Aff, aum, chai…ploy didn’t come because of there filming.
I thought that Ann, Joy, Aom, and Nampueng were the best dressed.
too so very much parody made my day. lmao!
A fan of nat but her make up doesnt serve her justice this time. but on other hand, joy, anne, aom look amazing!
Honestly, I think Anne is a better actress than Ploy, but I don’t know why Ploy kept winning awards. Could it be because she has been laying for everyone?
It’s base on popularity of the lakorn when it aired (not talking about rating wise), that is why. And people love those kind of roles. Ch7 didn’t take any awards? lol
