On May 26, the 31st Bach Ngoc Lan Awards officially announced the nomination list. This is one of the most prestigious TV drama awards in China, so it received a lot of attention.
Previously, there were rumors in the industry that the voting council of Bach Ngoc Lan 2026 was debating between the two names Duong Mich and Duong Tu for a nomination for Best Actress, which means the possibility that only one of the two people will be nominated.
But in the official nomination list just announced, both Duong Tu and Duong Mich were named.
Chinese media assessed that the movie "Sinh Van Vat" starring Duong Mich has just exploded in both fame and ratings, so her receiving a nomination for Best Actress seems very reasonable. However, during the film's broadcast, Duong Mich's acting also caused controversy many times.
As for Duong Tu, the broadcast performance of the movie "The Tree of Life" starring her is much worse, the rating on CCTV is even in the bottom group.
The fan community of these two actresses considered each other opponents before Bach Ngoc Lan announced the nomination list and had lively discussions about who would win.
However, it should be noted that Duong Mich and Duong Tu will compete with 3 veteran actresses including Nham To Tich (film "Endless"), Ton Le (film "Beautiful Life") and Ngo Viet (film "Silent Glory"). Therefore, the opportunity for Duong Mich or Duong Tu to win is quite difficult.
In the Best Actor category, Xiao Zhan was nominated for this award by Bai Yulan for the first time, thanks to his role in the movie "Tang Hai Truyen".
However, his opponents are also senior actors with outstanding acting skills and seniority in the profession, including Bai Yu (film "Thai Binh Nien"), Guo Jingfei (film "Lao Jiu"), Hu Ge (film "The Tree of Life") and Yu Hewei (film "Silent Glory").
The media predicts that Xiao Zhan is unlikely to win the male lead award at Bai Yu Lan this year, but being nominated is already a great recognition.
The Best Supporting Actress category also attracted attention when Chu Vien Vien - the late actress who just passed away due to illness - was on the list. Her performance in the movie "Tiểu thành đại sự" was considered worthy of a nomination.
