Baeksang Award nominees announced
by javabeans
Lee Min-ho and Kim Bum of “Boys Before Flowers”
Wow, that’s kind of fast — only three weeks into the drama and already a Baeksang nomination.
Both Kim Bum and Lee Min-ho of KBS’s Boys Before Flowers are up for the 45th Baeksang Arts Awards in the same category (new actor). (Kim Bum’s nomination, however, comes for his four-episode turn playing young Dong-chul in MBC’s East of Eden.) They’re also nominated in the popularity award category.
As much as I like Lee Min-ho’s portrayal of Jun-pyo, I think Kim Bum’s performance in East of Eden was more award-worthy — but they’ve got pretty good competition: Eom Ki-joon (The World They Live In), Lee Sang-woo (First Wives Club), and Jung Kyeo-woon (Women in the Sun).
Kim Myung-min, Song Il-kook, Moon Geun-young, Kim Hye-ja
In the actors’ Top Excellence category, meanwhile, nominations went to Beethoven Virus‘s Kim Myung-min and East of Eden‘s Song Seung-heon — who split the MBC Daesang Award back in December. Let’s see who wins out here, although they’re also up against Lee Junki (Iljimae), Park Yong-ha (On Air), and Song Il-kook (Kingdom of the Wind). I’m always bad with predictions, but I’m throwing my vote to Kim Myung-min, with the dark horse going to Song Il-kook.
For Top Excellence for actresses, we have KBS Daesang winner Kim Hye-ja (Mom’s Dead Upset), SBS Daesang winner Moon Geun-young (Painter of the Wind), Kim Haneul (On Air), Han Ye-seul (Tazza) — WTF, Han Ye-seul?? — and Han Ji-hye (East of Eden).
(How you can nominate Han Ye-seul in the same breath as Moon Geun-young and Kim Hye-ja is BEYOND ME.)
The awards ceremony will be held on February 27 and broadcast on SBS.

Regardless who wins. JUST ONCE - Can we have an actress happily and graciously accepting an award instead of attempting to flood the podium?

Why do they change the list of nominated Best actress after announcement? Is it proper? Hope it would not be another MBC award again?
Ya,Kim Bum deserved an award for his protrayal in EOE though short, His impact in the drama is HUGH. There is a void when SSH took over.MBC should have acknowledged his performance instead of SSH.

I hope Kim Bum will win the new actor award. He is really good in EOE.Anyway, EOE is just over rated .All the hooha with SSH comback drama. A real ON air drama instead BTS. His scandal news with Lee yeon hee sharing and staying at a luxury suite together in HK while filming EOE. The rest of the actors and crews have only standard rooms.

I'm rooting for Kim Myung Min for the Best TV Actor category and Moon Geun Young for the Best TV Actress category. Both have delivered stellar performances in their respective dramas last year!!
I'm a bit shocked that they pulled Kim Ha Neul from the list and replaced her with Kim Ji Soo. I'm surprised NOT because Kim Ji Soo isn't deserving to be in that category but because there's an obvious actress nominated in that category, who has been criticized for her acting in the drama, that should've been removed instead of KHN.
I'm also bewildered as to why Lee Yeon Hee is nominated in the Best New Actress category. She's been around for a quite a bit and appeared in a number of dramas prior to EOE.
BTW, does anyone know why they moved the Baeksang Awards to February from April?

of course,its going to be SONG IL GOOK for THE KINGDOM OF THE WINDS, just nobody does it better than SIG, i haven't seen any actor who performed like he did, i'm not a korean but a been a fan of korean mini series and drama movie for the past 4 years, i've seen different actors and actresses who performed, but SIG has this gifted talent when he acts, you can feel the real character while he performed, you know KOREA entertaiment industry is very bless to have this kind of talent of a man who spread his talent to the world for us to see what KOREA is all about, I salute korean country for preserving your values and culture, and through this mini series of his like JUMONG, EMPEROR OF THE SEA, KINGDOM OF THE WINDS, we get to know your country, and we want to visit all those place we saw on the series of Song Il GOOK. He really deserve the TOP EXCELLENCE AWARD for this coming February
Keep on Fighing SIG!! HURRAY !!! for a great Actor.

You can watch it in mysoju or viikii.net.Kim Bum acting,Park hae jin and han ji hye is excellent compared to the lead and the story is very good but complicated.I did watch it since December and still awaiting for the coming episodes until it ends.I am afraid I was addicted or hooked up on this drama more likely I was crying the whole time when I watch it particularly starting episode 32.

I do hope it is going to be a fair game for all the nominees. Please do not let it be like the MBC award nite. Ya, Lee Yeon Hee as New actress nominee?? She has been around for a while in both drama and film? Where is the fairness in this?
Anyway she is not an outstanding actress .her acting is quite bad.
EOE is way over rated and agree that it is unwatchable. Kim Bum is brilliant though as young Lee Dong Chul way better than SSH who played the adult LDC
Hope Kim Bum wins

"What about Jang Hyuk from Tazza or Park Shin-yang from the Painter of the Wind? "
Yeah, leaving Jang Hyuk was kinda strange. Nominate Han Ye Seul, but not the main male lead?!? I think Park Shin Yang would have gotten a nomination had he not been entangled in his current legal situation.
"I’m surprised NOT because Kim Ji Soo isn’t deserving to be in that category but because there’s an obvious actress nominated in that category, who has been criticized for her acting in the drama, that should’ve been removed instead of KHN."
A primetime KBS2 drama needed to get a nod, so it made sense for Kim Ji Soo to get a nom. I'm surprised that MBC did not nominate 2 actresses. It would have been a perfect opportunity to highlight Le Dolce Vita.
"I’m also bewildered as to why Lee Yeon Hee is nominated in the Best New Actress category."
Mostly because she's only 20 years old. I can't believe The National Little Sister (Moon Geun Young) is OLDER than her! I still see her as that kid from My Little Bride!
"of course,its going to be SONG IL GOOK for THE KINGDOM OF THE WINDS, just nobody does it better than SIG, "
Kim Myung Min is the clear favorite (again, the only one that can be considered a virtual lock) in the Top Excellence Award. His performance was critically popular and a cultural phenomenon -- you can't beat that. But Baeksang is known for the underdog vote, and SIG would be right there.

KKM for the best actor and MGY for best actress. New actress? Lee Yeon Hee should NOT been on the list. Her acting is horrible. EOE story plot is just too messy .Hope Kim bun will win an award this time. He is better than SSH in eoe.
