TW-stars Go For Glittery or Oddball Looks at the 2020 Taiwan Film Awards

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

This red carpet for the just held 2020 Taipei Film Awards feels like a wash, I mostly hated the outfits but enjoyed actually seeing some because it’s pretty unexpected. Like, Joanne Tseng‘s lace pantsuit is on par with historical epic fails in every way from cut to fit to sheer fugliness. I don’t know why Ariel Lin decided to come … Continue reading →

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

Indulge me for once because I truly felt like I was back around 1999. That’s during the heyday of the Four Sky Kings and honestly the last period I even paid attention to Hong Kong’s most famous stars who all acted and sang.

The glitziest night of Taiwanese television took place at the 51st annual Golden Bell Awards Friday night in Taipei.

A Koala's Playground Posted on by

We all know how quickly fame and fortune can flee, especially in the entertainment industry with a lot of temptation and a fickle audience as consumers.

The 49th Annual Golden Bell Awards totally snuck up on me when it flooded all the TW-ent media portals this weekend with picspam galore.

Aside from the nominations for In a Good Way and … Continue reading →
