The voting was officially closed midnight last night. 20 days of voting period - more than 6.6million votes and controversies in between, so who came out victorious?
20's Drama Star (Male) - Kim Soo Hyun
All nominated actors are great actors in their own ways; so I'm happy with any of them winning award in this category.
20's Drama Star (Female) - YoonA
The voting in this category was also quite competitive. Both YoonA and Ha Ji Won were neck-and-neck; even though to be honest, I prefer Ha Ji Won to win in this category. YoonA's acting has improved tremendously in Love Rain (I watched this drama and I was pleasantly surprised) but she's still not up to par with the other nominated actresses). However, because online votes contributes 50% of the overall score, there's a big chance YoonA will take home the award tonight. Han Ji Min is also a well-deserved winner, she's fantastic in Padam-Padam and so cute in Rooftop Prince.
20's Movie Star (Male) - Lee Je Hoon
I'm not a movie-person, so can't really predict the winner. Read many rave reviews about Lee Je Hoon's solid acting in this movie. His acting in Fashion King (cough.. cough...) was brilliant too!
20's Movie Star (Female) - Suzy
Suzy won the Best Rookie Award (Movie) at Baeksang this year and has swept many newcomers award in drama and movie too. Got a feeling she may win tonight. I'm actually more excited to see her joint performance with Busker Busker! With First Love concept, it's going to be a very romantic performance.
20's Trendy Music - TaeTiSeo
I'm not into k-pop so much, but I do enjoy all these 5 nominees' songs. So I'm happy with whoever comes up victorious tonight. My prediction? It's going to be TaeTiSeo's night. The girls have been preparing for TaeTiSeo's party for tonight's award ceremony and I really want to join their vibrant fun party!
20's Online Music - SE7EN
Not quite sure about this category, but I assume this is about the online download? Or digital sales? I followed the votes closely and IU has been leading but in the end, Se7en won the poll. Please forgive me, Se7en fans, because I don't really follow him I don't really know if he has a strong online digital sales. But as far as I know IU, T-ara, Leessang & Busker Busker do. Overall, I love all of them, so happy if any of them win the award tonight.
20's Performance - Shinhwa
20's Band Music - Guckkasten
20's Sports Star - Son Yeon Jae
20's Variety Star - Garie
Out of these 5 nominees, to be honest, I only watch Garie's and Leeteuk's variety shows. So I'm happy if either of them win the award. They're both very natural and humble. Pleasantly surprised that Garie topped the poll though =)
20's Gag Character - Raitto
20's Style - G-Dragon
I always love G-Dragon's style so happy that he won the poll. Hopefully he'll win tonight too.
20's Global Star - Super Junior
I didn't even think that Jang Geun Suk could be in the 2nd place because of massive votings done by both ELFs and SONES. But anything could happen when fans united together to vote for their artists. My prediction: SuJu will win tonight.
20's Booming Star - Lee Jong Suk
Upcoming 20's - Kang Seung Yoon
20's Social Artist - Choi Si Won
20's Click - Who's on First
