Controversy over Trieu Le Dinh's Golden Eagle Best Actress Award

DƯƠNG HƯƠNG |

Before the 32nd Golden Eagle Awards took place at the end of October, the controversy related to Trieu Le Dinh was once again mentioned.

This year's China Golden Eagle TV Awards has officially kicked off. Hunan TV recently released two promotional videos, highlighting the highlights of the awards ceremony's history. Veteran actors and past award-winning actors made appearances.

Below the video, a comment attracted attention with the question: "Are there any other award-winning actresses at the 28th Golden Eagle Filming videos?"

According to 163, this comment immediately reminded many people of Trieu Le Dinh. But the beauty born in 1987 did not appear, only Liu Tao and Dong Le A did.

Once again, the Golden Eagle Award controversy between Liu Tao and Zhao Liying in 2016 was brought up again.

That year, there were 4 actors who won the award for Favorite Actor/Actress: Hu Ge, Wang Lei, Zhao Liying, and Tong Liya. Meanwhile, Hu Ge and Liu Tao jointly received the award for Most Popular Actor/Actress (Highest Popularity).

A debate has broken out between Zhao Liying and Liu Tao's fans over who is the real Golden Eagle Queen (equivalent to Best Actress).

The reason for this controversy is because the Golden Eagle Awards frequently change their mechanism, judging criteria and category names.

According to many media outlets, the Golden Eagle Queen was the one who received the gold cup and certificate from the China Television Association, similar to the awards of Zhao Liying and Tong Liya in 2016. Liu Tao's trophy was a crystal cup, an award presented by Hunan TV.

But in previous years, the Queen award changed its name many times. Initially, it was called Best Actress. Since 2000, it has been called Favorite Actress. The Golden Eagle's mechanism is also inconsistent, as the golden cup has been awarded to many people in some years, causing the public to believe that this award is worthless.

At that time, the People's Daily Online newspaper commented that the argument between Zhao Liying and Liu Tao's fans reflected the shortcomings of this award. The Golden Eagle's disagreement on the awarding mechanism between years caused the award to lose its prestige.

The Golden Eagle is the most controversial award among the three biggest Chinese television awards (along with Fei Tian and Magnolia).

Kim Ung always wants to achieve a balance between professionalism and traffic. But they don't want to admit that this award ceremony focuses too much on popularity (audience votes).

The biggest buzz of the Golden Eagle was the 2018 awards ceremony, when Dilraba Dilmurat won both the Best Actress and Most Popular Actress awards.

So why does the video recording this year's Golden Eagle's highlight moments only have Liu Tao and Dong Li Ya, completely absent from Trieu Le Dinh?

According to 163, the Golden Eagle Awards' operating mechanism is inherently unstable. They can only try to adjust to avoid getting involved in past controversies. Simply avoid Zhao Liying and other winners who have caused a stir.

Fortunately, the Golden Eagle has made more reasonable changes today, there will no longer be confusion between Best Actor/Best Actress. From 2020, Best Actor/Best Actress will be called Best Actor/Best Actress.

Of course, there are still things that are not really strict, such as Kim Ung letting Liu Yifei, an American, and Tu Cam Cao Oa, a Swiss, into the initial shortlist.
