So exciting~ It’s been such a long time since I’ve watched a legit Chinese show on TV~ I basically flipped when I saw Ella Chen, Jerry Yan, and Show Luo on TV. I actually did not recognize Rainie Yang at first (dunno what happened there) and got a little sad when Ella/Jerry/ Down With Love didn’t reappear in the program, but that’s besides the point. It was still SUCH a good way to end Thanksgiving.
And now for the results (I didn’t really pay that much attention to the other awards but here are the main ones that I was interested in):

Random commentary:
Introduction and “Welcoming Ceremony”: Lovely little cheesy 10 minute video clip and dance performance that apparently took them a month to prepare. But, I guess it worked. Within the thick layer of cheese were Ella Chen, Jerry Yan, and Show Lo, and I definitely got super excited when I saw them (don’t ask my why. I’m just special like that). And as a last note, the two main hosts did a…well, let’s just say an extravagant live dance performance. Clearly a lot of thought and effort were put into these 10 minutes, and I must say, the results were decent (it could have been worse >.>)
三大男(难)高音: A trio of famous male Taiwanese stars (康康 (Kang Kang)、吴宗宪 (Jacky Wu)、高凌风 (Frankie Kao)) who, in my opinion, provided a much needed comic break in between the many awards. They do it so expertly and effortlessly, providing humor and entertainment…for the viewers at least, and I’m pretty sure for all the nervous nominees, too.
Overall, it was a long program, but there’s nothing like watching some of your favorite stars all dressed up and waiting in agony to know whether or not they won the award or not.
