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.

Cris Horwang has been winning a lot of awards for “A Bangkok Traffic Love Story”, it amazes me. Also, I can’t believe “Nang Ma gub Poo Yai Lee (Ms. Ma and Elder Lee)” is still winning awards. Hasn’t it been 2 years already or  maybe just a year. Still, it is an old lakorn.

For the love of cheese, both these boys need to lay off the make-up.

Yui graduates from college

[Yui graduated this morning, March 8, 2010 Thailand time.]

Twenty-nine year old Yui Jiranan, jealous nang’rai from the hit lakorn “Prajun Lai Payak on Ch7, graduates from Ramkhamhaeng University with a degree in Mass Communication. She earned a 2.4 GPA. “It was tiring,” said Yui. “Once I graduated, I’m not tired anymore. I feel that what I have endured, strive for so long, 6 years to date, has been completed. My grade point average might be low, it was only 2.4, but I have worked for the past 9 years and simultaneously went to school. My work has been laborious, to have earned this much, I’m satisfied,” she said, providing us with an explanation for her low GPA. Well you graduated, some people can’t even do that. Good for you, regardless of the low GPA.

On this planet, there is only one moon!

Produced by Polypus, “Prajun Lai Payak (Tiger Moon)” is a tale of jealous and competition between two women who grew up together like sisters. “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea is Janchai and Yui Jiranan is Parndeun (or just Deun), their fathers were both police officers.

When Janchai became orphaned as a child after witnessing her father and Parnduan’s father being shoot to death by a gang of drug dealers, Nuan (“Tum” Rotrin Janthara), Parndeun’s mother, took Janchai in and raised Janchai like her own daughter. Janchai grew up well supported and loved by Nuan, her daugther Parndeun, and Nuan’s son Tiwa (“San” Prachakorn Piyasakulkaew).

After they graduate from school, both Janchai and Parndeun decide to follow in their fathers’ foot step and tried out for the police academy. They both get in.

Their relationship began to fall apart when they entered the police academy because Janchai proved to be better at everything compared to Deun. She was better liked, better respected by their pairs, more skilled, and  Annon (“Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros), their field trainer, liked her better than Deun.  Fueled by competition and jealously, Deun began to disregard her sisterly bond with Janchai and their relationship began to crumble.

Om Akkapan is our second pra’ek, he plays “Wayu”, a mafia member who likes Janchai because she once saved his life.

Of course there is more to the story, but I’ll just leave it at this.

“Prajun Lai Payak (Tiger)” is scheduled to replace Kwan and Vee’s lakorn “Liam Ruk (Angles of Love)” on February 17, 2010.

Character description of the 4 main characters from Polypus:

“Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea is Janchai, a beautiful girl inside and out. Because she was orphaned at a young child, she is a humble person. She is a gentle person under her tough girl exterior. Though she is just a woman, she has a courageous personality. She is willing to sacrifice herself comparable to any grown masculine man. She is a compassionate woman, who is considerate of others, which makes her very popular with her friends and even her foster mother Nuan (“Tum” Rotrin Janthara), foster sister Parndeun (Yui Jiranan), and foster brother Tiwa (“San” Prachakorn Piyasakulkaew). They all love her dearly. Because they had taken her in as a young child, Janchai is willing to sacrifice everything for them. She is even willing to lose Annon (“Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros), the man she loves with all her heart. She can abandon him for the sake of her younger sister Parndeun.

Yui Jiranan is Parndeun, a woman who only has ambition on her mind. She is competitive towards other people and doesn’t like to lose. Parndeun keeps her bad personality trait hidden under the image that she is a good person. She is strict when it comes to rule and regulations to the point where she does not care about others, which made her not as popular as Janchai. Underneath it all, she is not confident in herself because people like to compare to Janchai. Parndeun has a inferior complex with Janchai, which transformed into grudge. Her grudge made her cruel, she became a person who is willing to do everything so that she can be number 1.

“Weir” Sukollawat Kanaros is Officer Annon, a handsome young officer loved by all the ladies. He’s a gentleman and a generous person. He is a man who is confident in the law, especially when it comes to justice, which makes Annon feel conflicted with his relationship with Janchai and hesitate with his relationship with Parndeun. There will be several occasions where Annon will have to choose between his duty as an officer and his heart.

Om Akkapan is Wayu, a young mafia member with high taste. He’s clever, intelligent, and very cool. He is a bold and decisive person. Janchai saved his life once, which made him very impressed by her bravery. His high esteem for her eventually turned into love. Wayu inherited his half-brother Pupa’s gang and made it great. Wayu is the number 1 target for the police and Pupa’s former minions, who want to retake Pupa’s gang and his booming illegal business.

At the end of one of the teasers, Yui says to Aum, “on this planet, there is only one moon!”

Looktarn Arisa Ville used to be one looking lady, now she is something else. There is a rumor going around, that she is on drugs, to which she denies.

The last two pictures are of Marisa Anita and Cheer. They always look healthy.
