The 38th Bach Hoa Awards officially opened in Beijing, attracting the attention of Chinese audiences. Unlike awards that focus on professional evaluation, Bach Hoa values public opinion. Therefore, the number of votes and audience likes can create notable changes in the race.
In the Best Supporting Actress category, six nominated faces quickly created a remarkable competition. After the first day, Duong Mich unexpectedly rose to the leading position, surpassing Ly Van Tieu - who once topped the voting chart.
Duong Mich received nominations for two roles in "Truong An three thousand miles" and "Kinh chap vo thanh". Appearing with two different images helps the actress have an advantage in recognition, while showing efforts to expand her acting scope.
In "Kinh chập vô thanh", Duong Mich plays the villain Bach Pham, with a cold, discreet and calculated color. Meanwhile, the role of Trinh Ngoc Dinh in "Truong An ba nghìn dặm" tends to be simple and soft. The contrast between the two characters becomes a point that audiences pay attention to.
From a not-too-outstanding position before the opening, Duong Mich quickly increased her votes and surpassed Ly Van Tieu by more than 1,000 votes according to the rankings announced online. However, this is only a voting diễn biến at one point in time, not necessarily synonymous with the final result of the award.
Ly Van Tieu ranked second. This Vietnamese drama artist surprised when stepping from the traditional stage to the screen with the role of Yen Tu Nuong in "Tieu Nhan: Phong Khoi Dai Mac". Stage experience helps her create a unique character through her eyes, physique and ability to control emotions.
The fact that an artist from a traditional stage competes with famous movie actors shows the appeal of unique performances. Ly Van Tieu once led the vote before Duong Mich accelerated, so the race is still likely to change.
Liu Shishi finished third with the role of Xiao Yu in "Kinh chập vô thanh". Not relying on overly dramatic performances, the actress chose a restrained way of expressing herself, focusing on her eyes, demeanor and small changes in the character's psychology.
Followed by Tat Nhat Na, Vuong Chan Nhi and Duong An Huu. Among them, Tat Nhat Na continued to be highly appreciated for her experience with the role of a grandmother in "Catching a Child", while Vuong Chan Nhi attracted attention with the role of a mother in "Nam Kinh Anh Quan". Duong An Huu is the youngest face in the nomination group with the role of Kim Uyen Nghi.
The voting process shows that Bach Hoa is not just a competition between famous names. The recognition, attractiveness of the work, character effects and audience emotions can all affect the position of each candidate.
Duong Mich is currently leading, but the voting gap is not the only decisive factor. As the race continues, the ranking may continue to change. More notably, the six actresses represent many generations and different performance schools, from veteran artists, talented actors to young faces and artists transitioning from traditional theater to cinema.
