The 43rd Golden Bell Awards were presented in Taipei on Friday (Oct 31); Golden Bell is Taiwan’s most prestigious radio and television broadcasting awards.

“Fated to Love You” won the best drama series as expected; Ariel Lin was crowned the best actress (in drama series) with “They Kiss Again”; while Jacky Wu and A-Ya claimed the best variety show hosts award with “Guess Guess Guess”.

Other winners are relatively unknown; couldn’t recognise most of the names to be frank. Sharing a few red carpet pics (from Sohu) instead…

    Patty Ho, Bianca Bai, Rainie Yang…all looking hot!

    Never liked Jacky Wu from what I’ve seen of him. Kind of a punk the way he acts towards people on his show. Don’t care much for him.

    :: no one can compare to ariel lin..
    :: chen qiao en, rainie yang & barbie xu are just next to her..
    :: she’s my favorite taiwanese actress..
    :: i watched all her t.v. series or show which aired here in philippine t.v.
    :: yah.. i’m so proud..

    P.S. — is it true that there will be an upcoming show followed by it started with a kiss 3??

    OMG..WHY DID ARIEL LIN WON THE BEST ACTRESS??? the other 4 actresses are seems much deserving than her..we never liked her acting..TRYING HARD though..same portrayal over and over..Ariel is old doing cute roles..she’s 28..my gosh everytime there’s a close-up shot of her..obviously you’ll notice she’s cross-eyed..she can’t even answer well during interviews..sorry to say that most people think she really don’t deserve the GBA 2008 AWARD!!

  20. #20. kbc88888 on September 26th, 2009

    Ariel Lin DOESN’T deserve to win!! her acting so horrible! the award should be between the other nominated lead stars! what a shame>i thought Golden Bell is a prestigious award giving body>>how on earth they give the award to this girl>>her acting was not as impressive as the other contenders>>
