There is a social hierarchy in C-ent where the award winning veterans are presumed to be top of the awards pecking order. Earlier this year Wang Yibo fans got upset that his War of Faith costar veteran Wang Yang got a Best Actor nomination over him despite Wang Yang having less screentime, they called it unfair that Wang Yang who they considered the second male lead got the nomination over Wang Yibo as the male lead of that show. This week Wang Yibo got the nomination of Best Actor for the movie One and Only, and it was over his male lead veteran Huang Bo who had more screentime and the narrative was anchored around his character. Now the shoes are on the other feet but Wang Yibo fans are just happy and not a peep about screentime and unfairness. C-netizens are amused saying 学霸全员落榜,文盲提前录取 basically translated as the smart kids all failed and the uneducated illiterate got on the acceptance polls, shading Wang Yibo who has his illiterate scandal a few years ago and also actress Li Geng Xi who got a Best Actress nom here but has been mocked for years for failing her college entrance exams multiple times. There is also the rumor that the Golden Rooster judges have already internally selected the winners and Wang Yibo will in fact win for the buzz and water his fandom can generate. Anyways, I’m just here for the popcorn.
