2nd Annual Nataraja Awards 2011

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.

Winners at the first annual Nataraja awards 2009

Compared to other awards show in Thailand, the Nataraja awards was a pretty classy affair. No one wore jeans and the setting didn’t look cheap. The trophy is something I would want as a decorative piece in my house, it was a beautiful gold trophy of a Thai traditional dancer.

The event brought tears to many peoples’ eyes twice, first with  “Aof” Pongpat Wachirabunjong’s acceptance speech and the second was when Nok Sinjai, Nok Jariya, and Aof Pongpat sang the song “Kwarm Fun An Song Sot (The highest dream)”. Before singing, the three pledged their allegiance to the King and asked the people of Thailand to stop the disagreement and fighting. The song was profound and it caused many to weep.

It wasn’t all gloom and tears, Anne Thongprasom did bring in laughs when she didn’t realize which lakorn she won the award for. She was too excited. Last night, she won the best actress award for her role in “Soot Sanaeha (A recipe for Love)”, but Anne mistaken thought she won it  for her role in  “Borisud Bumbut Kaen(The Revenge Therapy Company)” and started thanking her co-star Aum Atichart and the crew for that lakorn. Then someone from the audience clued her in that she was thanking the wrong people. Anne then said, ‘what series did I win this award for?’ Everyone laughed and “Captain” Puthanate Hongmanop who presented the Best Actress award, showed her the card. It was for “Soot Sanaeha (A recipe for Love)”. OPPS!

Captain has a girlfriend!

No way! Yes Way! They have been dating for a year too. Really? Yah!

Get this, they knew each other since they were children, since elementary school. It’s like a script from a lakorn, childhood soul mates reuniting after a long separation. He hadn’t seen her in 14 years, then randomly she comes back in to his life and they have been dating for a year. Wa? Awesome or what?

He said the story of their reunion is very long and complicated, he could write a book about it. She is bold, lady-like, honest, and sincere–these are the qualities that attracted Captain to his current girlfriend. When they were 7-8, they were bicycling buddies, they rode their bikes around the neighborhood with other children, they were like a gang. This totally reminds me of the movie “Fan Chan (My Girlfriend)” . Captain still has the bike stored at his house. CUTE! The reporters even asked him if it was like the movie “Fan Chan (My girlfriend)”, he said it has the same feeling.

Will he marry her? He is unsure. He wants to wait, be prepared to fully take responsibility for her, and get to know her even better.

The reporters pressed on and asked whether she could be the one and the future mother of his children. Captain laughs.

Then Captain ruined it for me, he said it’s not LOVE, it’s more about responsibility. What does that mean? Did you get her pregnant? I had to cross that out, it was pretty rude of me.

What the reporter asked, “This time around, can you call this love or not?”

“In love, there is nothing like that, like when you’re young. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s more about responsibility we have for each other. It’s something like that. It’s not like we’re “Be In Love” and have to call each other every hour. It’s more like how an adult must take responsibility for another person. Just like that.”—I think what Captain is poorly explaining is that his relationship is mature and not clingy. He doesn’t need to assure her he loves her every hour. They are not kids anymore, they are adults.

He never revealed her name, she is not in the Entertainment business.
