Taiwanese singer Vivian Hsu has reacted to criticism for her behavior at the Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan on Saturday (November 21).
Hsu was on stage with veteran actor Tsai Chen-nan to present the awards for Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography.
Hsu, 45, is also a producer and actress on the film Little Big Women, which was nominated for six awards, including Best Leading Actress for Chen Shu-fang and Best Supporting Actress for Hsieh Ying-xuan.
Chen was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for another film, Dear Tenant.
Hsu appeared to be more nervous than the nominees before announcing the winner for Best Supporting Actress.
He said he hoped Hsieh would win the award, which some took as disrespectful of the other four nominees.
Hsu then opened the envelope for the Best Supporting Actress winner, but said she didn’t dare look at it and handed it to Tsai.
He was about to announce the winner when she took the envelope, looked at it, and announced that Chen had won for Dear Tenant.
The whole process took about five minutes. There were strong reactions from netizens, who criticized Hsu for being “rude,” “trying too hard to be funny,” and “talking too much.”
[[nid:509829]]In response to the jokes online, Hsu wrote a post on Saturday night.
She said in Chinese, “Being a first-time producer, I tried to do my best. I was also a bit excited and nervous as I tried to liven up the process.
“Please forgive me if there are any imperfections, and thanks for all the criticism and advice. Thanks to Brother Nan for the wonderful phrase.”
Tsai had said before Hsu announced the winner that no one would remember the winners a week after the ceremony.
Chen also won Best Leading Actress on Saturday.
