The 19th annual Golden Melody Awards (GMA) announced this year's nominations yesterday. Jay Chou (President Chou) received nominations for his work in 'On the Run' and 'Secret.' His two albums were nominated for popularity awards as well as performance awards, for a total of 6 individual nominations. Jay is really the big winner!
Last year, President Chou received 4 nominations, winning only 'Best Producer for a Single.' But only getting stronger with defeat, this time around he has put out two things in one breath: his newest album 'On the Run' and the original soundtrack (OST) for his movie 'Secret'. His works have been gloriously nominated for the following categories: 'Song of the Year', 'Best Mandarin Album', 'Best Composition', 'Best Album in the Performance Category', 'Best Producer', and 'Best Composer'. Aside from these 6 personal nominations, his song 'Blue & White Porcelain' has earned Vincent Fang a nomination for 'Best Lyricist' and Zhong Yu Min a nomination for 'Best Arrangement'. Altogether, Jay has 8 nominations under his name, a comeback from last year.
Yesterday, after Jay heard the news, he happily expressed, "Getting nominated for 8 categories, I haven't disappointed the hopes of my fans! The judges' taste is not bad!" He is especially happy that his first attempt at a movie OST has received recognition and approval. In addition, this year, his good partner Vincent Fang has created a record of being nominated for 'Best Lyricist' eight years in a row. Today he will be flying to Chongqing to prepare for the charity concert tomorrow.
