My Top 5:
Ruco Chan (Ruse of Engagement)
Steven Ma (Storm in a Cocoon)
Raymond Lam (Line Walker)
Roger Kwok (Black Black White Soul)
Wayne Lai (Overachievers)
My Top Pick to be the Winner: Roger Kwok (Black Heart White Soul)
Comment: I can see that Him Law is promoted by TVB as a leading actor but frankly he is not the lead actor in Tiger Cubs II, but more of a supporting actor. Joe Ma is the leading actor and he is not bad overall in the series. Joe can really make that serious look that suits his role as a commander but his expressions are a tad bit wooden for my liking. Nevertheless Him Law never disappoints when it comes to acting and I think he did a decent job in Tiger Cubs II. Him can really display a variety of emotions including being shocked and angry. I have no problem with him in the nomination list (no pun intended).
Nice to also know that Steven Ma is included in this year's nomination list. His performance in 'Storm in a Cocoon' is one of his best throughout his acting career and I hope that he will at least get into the top five.
Wong Cho Lam is funny in Glided Chopsticks but frankly he has a long way to go if he wants to win Best Actor. Just for instance in 'Come on Cousin' his performance is both unconvincing and unnatural. His facial expression seems so forced and preposterously exaggerated that suggests to me he needs to fine-tune his comedy skills to improve (the fine-tuning part also applies to Ben Wong). I'm sure he will but for the meanwhile let's give credit for him as a scriptwriter instead.
Why did I choose Roger Kwok? Well because he was absolutely sensational as a selfish person in Black Heart White Soul, and also did great as a selfless 'Lam Joy Ye' in Come On Cousin. He is like a chameleon, he can blend into any role given to him given that the character is well-written in the first place and out-shine everyone else.

Kate Tsui (Tomorrow is Another Day)
Flora Chan (Never Dance Alone)*
Carmen Lee (Never Dance Alone)*
*(even though not in the nomination list, I decided to rig it into the list anyway)
My Top Pick to be the Winner: Charmaine Sheh (Line Walker)
Comment: What a pity that the M Club girls didn't get a chance to be nominated at all (probably my only disappointment in the nomination list) but I don't care and I have chosen Flora Chan and Carmen Lee in my own personal top five because frankly they deserve it more better (for their magnificent performances) than other actresses in the list above. Loletta Lee should also deserve a mention. If purely just based on performance, Carmen should win hands down.
Everyone knows that Charmaine Sheh will most likely win Best Actress and I am ok with that even though she could do better in Line Walker. I chose her as my top choice because to be honest she exceeded my expectations of her in the first place and her acting was undeniably good. To me her role as 'Sister Ding' in Line Walker was her best performance ever so worth a mention and perhaps the Best Actress award. I know awards should only be based purely on performances only but the reality is that popularity is just as important and Charmaine is the most media-savy actress. Look at her responses in interviews and you will know what I mean.
Other than that it seems that the competition for this year the Best Actress nomination category is a bit weak with not many strong competitors. Nice to see Nancy Wu is promoted as a leading actress but I think she needs a better role to win Best Actress. Same goes for Maggie Siu who I think never fails to give a competent performance but is lacking a well-written character to give a breakthrough performance worthy of a mention. Hopefully she will some day. I also realised that this year there are no series from Myolie Wu.

My Top 5:
Storm in a Cocoon
Ruse of Engagement
Black Heart White Soul
Never Dance Alone
Glided Chopsticks
My Top Pick to be the Winner: Black Heart White Soul (Hot Favourite is Line Walker)
This year is probably a clash between Black Heart White Soul and Line Walker. I liked both series for different reasons. For Line Walker, it fulfilled my dream to have an already powerful mole (in this case they had a black cop portrayed by Lau Kong) then Mr.Songs as even more powerful leaders from a range of different fields (politics, legislative, financial, real estate) and then a group of even higher status leaders from all around the world. Even though that series was highly flawed (that's why I didn't include it in my Top 5 Recommended Series List) and the story-line went messy I think overall the mix between comedy and serious drama redeemed the cringe-worthy nearing towards the end part of the series.
For Black Heart White Soul, I was addicted to it because of one character and that was 'Matt' portrayed by Roger Kwok. The storyline was a bit unrealistic but it was cleverly linked together. For my comments about the other series that I chose for Top 5, feel free to read my post of 'My Top 5 Recommended 2014 TVB Series to win Best Drama of the Year!
Whilst anniversary series are usually the big contenders for Best Series, the non-anniversary are surprisingly better to watch in my humble opinion. You can also find out more about my thoughts from my post 'Hong Kong TV Series that I am watching at the moment... '.
Best Series Theme Song:
My Top 5:
Overachievers Main Theme Song by Suzanne Kwan
Storm in a Cocoon Main Theme Song by Steven Ma
Never Dance Alone Main Theme Song
Black Heart White Soul Main Theme Song
Line Walker Sub-Theme Song
My Top Pick to be the Winner: Never Dance Alone Main Theme Song
Comment: Very hard for me to choose top five in this category since there are so many good songs from TVB series every year. I must applaud TVB for being loose on the rule that the award includes sub theme-songs as well. At the end of the day this award is very subjective in the sense it all depends on people's preferences and personally I liked the main theme song from the series 'Never Dance Alone'.

Roger Kwok (Black Heart White Soul)
Louis Cheng (Black Heart White Soul)
Benz Hui (Black Heart White Soul)
Ruco Chan (Outbound Love)
My Top Pick to be the Winner: Benz Hui (Black Heart White Soul)
Comment: Benz Hui's role in Line Walker as 'Foon Hei Gor' obviously generated the most noise this year and whilst he is portrayed as a villain in the drama, the intrigue behind Foon Hei Gor has attracted the attention of numerous fans. Overall, I don't mind too much who wins for this category because it is 'most favourite', not 'best actor' or whatever so I respect the opinion of the majority.

Josie Ho (Tomorrow is Another DAy)
My Top Pick on who may win: Elena Kong (Line Walker)
Comment: To be honest even though Elena Kong did not have much screen-time for that series, she still did a very decent job by portraying a battered woman so convincingly and then being a grateful person. Others did not bad at all.

My Top 2:
Sammy Sum
Louis Cheng
My Top Pick: Louis Cheng
Comment: I was surprised to see Louis to be put in this category but to be honest he didn't 'improve the most' but instead every role that he acted was so great that it was hard to improve any further. That is why I am anticipating for him to join heavier roles and meatier screen-time to expand his potential. He better get this award to get him more opportunities for greater roles. Sammy Sum has improved as well but frankly pales in comparison if compared to Louis Cheng.
