15 Jan – Candice Chiu is still in shock after besting other contenders like Samantha Ko and Rebecca Zhu to win Best Supporting Actress at the recently held TVB Anniversary Awards.

As reported on On CC, the actress, who won for her performance in "Barrack O'Karma", broke down in tears during her acceptance speech at the event held on 12 January, saying that it was a dream come true for her to become an actor.

She also thanked some of her family members who supported her decision to join showbiz, seemingly confirming rumours that a portion of her family members were not happy with her acting career.

Speaking to the media backstage after her speech, Candice stated that she was moved to be accepting the award from Mandy Wong, who also gave her a lot of support and advice throughout her career.

"In fact, I feel like I still have a lot of room for improvement," she added.

It is noted that this is the first Best Supporting Actress nomination for Candice, who joined TVB in 2008 following a participation in the 2007 Miss Hong Kong pageant.

Trump's sentencing is set for Jan. 10. Here's what could happen next
Faced with the never-before-seen dilemma of how, when or even whether to sentence a former and future U.S. president, the judge in President-elect Donald Trump 's hush money case made a dramatic decision that could nevertheless bring the case to a muted end. In a ruling Friday, Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan scheduled the sentencing for 10 days before Trump's inauguration — but the judge indicated that he's leaning toward a sentence that would amount to just closing the case without any real punishment. Trump wants the conviction thrown out and the case dismissed, and communications director Steven Cheung said the president-elect will “keep fighting.”
