According to many assessments from Chinese media, the competition for the "Best Actress" category is predicted to take place between familiar faces such as Tong Giai, Yan Ni, Yang Mi, Wu Yue and Lan Tay Nha.
Among them, Tong Giai is considered a prominent candidate thanks to her role in the TV series "Son Hoa Lan Man Thoi". The work inspired by the life of educator Truong Que Mai received many compliments from both professionals and audiences. With the character biography film genre that is highly appreciated by official awards, Tong Giai is considered to have a great opportunity to be included in the nomination list.
Diem Ni is also a noteworthy name with "Tieu rang nhan gia". This is a work belonging to the contemporary film genre, reflecting the journey of ordinary people to rise up. This genre has long been the "taste" of the Phi Thien award, especially when the film has achievements in broadcasting and positive discussion.
In the remaining group of candidates, Ngo Viet attracted attention with "Silent Glory". The secretly active female character she portrays is considered to be in-depth and suitable for the trend of honoring works with historical and revolutionary colors of this award.
Meanwhile, Lan Tay Nha is mentioned thanks to two works, "Son Hoa Lan Man Thoi" and "Anthropomorphic Violence". Participating in projects that are highly appreciated for their quality helps the young actress to be expected to create surprises, similar to some cases that Phi Thien has favored before.
Notably, Duong Mich also appeared in the group of potential candidates thanks to the movie "Sinh Van Vat". The work explores rural and historical themes, revolving around the journey of maturity and awakening of a woman in a context of many upheavals. This is a character with a large psychological development range, and also belongs to the contemporary film genre that Phi Thien highly appreciates.
In addition to the 5 names mentioned above, Ma Yili, Yin Tao and Nhiet Y Trat are also considered notable reserve candidates for this year's season.
Initial predictions show that the "Best Actress" race at Phi Thien 2026 promises to be one of the most competitive categories of Chinese television.
As for Duong Mich, she and Duong Tu were previously nominated for the Baiyu Lan Awards. The two stars will compete fiercely in this year's season.
