Once again, 2013 Celebrity of the Year Marian Rivera is the nominee to beat in the 2014 Yahoo! Celebrity Awards (formerly Yahoo! OMG Awards). The actress dubbed as TV’s Primetime Queen is considered a frontrunner in several categories where she is nominated.
During a program hosted by radio and TV host Sam Oh at Amber Ultra Lounge at The Fort Entertainment Center in Taguig City, Yahoo! Philippines country manager and country editor Kate de los Reyes and deputy country sales director Mike Constantino announced this year’s nominees for the annual entertainment awards determined exclusively by fans.
Marian is again nominated by Yahoo! readers for Celebrity of the Year, Actress of the Year and in the newly created Celebrity Couple of the Year together with reel and real life partner Dingdong Dantes. Their DongYanatics are also nominated for Fan Club of the Year.
In addition to these categories, Marian also won outright the Yahoo! Media Magnet of the Year, an award given to Charice last year.
Aside from Marian, a good number of last year’s winners are nominated anew in their respective categories. They are Coco Martin (Actor of the Year), Angel Locsin (Actress of the Year), Elmo Magalona (Male Performer of the Year), Julie Anne San Jose (Female Performer of the Year), Ryzza Mae Dizon (Child Star of the Year), Vic Sotto (Male TV Host), Toni Gonzaga (Female TV Host), Papa Jack (Male Radio DJ), Nicole Hyala (Female Radio DJ), Barangay LS 97.1 (Best FM Station) and “TV Patrol” (Best News Program).
The stars and shows of TV5 also figured prominently among the 140 nominees including Vin Abrenica (Male Emerging Star), Vic Sotto and Raymond Gutierrez (Male TV Host), “For Love or Money” (Teleserye of the Year) and “Aksyon TV” (Best News Program).
The name is not the only thing that changed in the Yahoo! Celebrity Awards. Of the 28 categories, 10 of them are new categories that Yahoo! Drumbeaters say reflect the emerging trends in the entertainment industry.
These categories are Celebrity Couple, Celebrity Family, Male and Female Hothletes, Band of the Year, Male and Female ‘Kontrabida’, Emerging Band, Song of the Year and Social Media Star.
What also makes the Yahoo Celebrity Awards more special this year is the newly introduced Yahoo-On-the-Road bus, which will be touring schools to showcase the nominees for the Band of the Year and Emerging Band categories. The bus is fully geared for fans to engage with the bands, cast their votes and request performances.
As in previous years, winners will again be determined by fans who visit yahoo.com.ph/celebrityawards to cast their votes not only for the announced categories but also for celebrities that they want to perform during the awards night scheduled at the MOA Arena on July 18.
Voting is now open until July 12, 2014. Users can follow the awards on Twitter at @yahooph #YahooAwards and “Like” the Yahoo Philippines Facebook page.
“The Yahoo Celebrity Awards honors not only the Pinoy stars but also the fans who propel them to stardom. We put the fans front and center because they fuel the engine of the entertainment industry. In the last three years, Celebrity Awards has earned overwhelming response from the audience, a testament to how much we Filipinos love our celebrities,” quipped De los Reyes.
The Yahoo Celebrity Awards supported by leading brands in Philippines, including McDonald’s, KakaoTalk, PLDT HOME Bro Ultera, JAG Jeans and Emperador Light. Fans can get free tickets for the July 18 awards show at SM Tickets.
