aish wish TVXQ is the nominees too...

[TrainDriver]

Nicholas Teo for Malaysia!!!!

[adikkeluangman]

^Yep, he leading now for Malaysia. I voting for Faizal Tahir every 10min. So far the result is for online voting not included vote by SMS.

My friend said that hotel rooms already fully booked durning MAA weekend. Argh...

[lainegal]

^ you can still book rooms during that weekend but it's package room deals. visit here for more info...

[Rebby]

MAA is finally back!

i remember they had delayed live telecast on tv (mtv channels) each year
or at least for the years when they held it in s'pore

[devilish_chunsa]

i don't know if this has been asked yet, but will MTV Asia Awards 2008 Malaysia be online for viewing with subtitles to those who unfortunately cannot go?

Thank you.

I dont think there will be any live online for viewing but im sure if you live in asia (or those who has access to MtvAsia) get to view it live.

i dont wanna go cause its so far. and im sure the korea nominees wont come, so i dont think will go then. but all the best to all the nominees!

Im sure one the winner will have to show up. That's kind of the whole point of the show, each country nominated will have one or two representative to perform. Performers arent neccessarily the winner. Like, G.O.D didn't win but they still perform.

I seriously think its effed up that we have to run around to catch roadshows or entering contests to get the tickets. i'd rather go to a counter and pay my tickets.

It feels like ages since the last MTV asia awards...
I like the mandy-regine performance from 2003 (or 2002? i couldn't remember) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sATEKlGwWLg.. shes wayy batter than mandy..LOL.

anyways.. I'm not familiar with most of the artist from other countries..
i just recognize siti nurhaliza cause she won everytime >.<
i kindda hope to see Jay Chow in the nomination list..but.. oh well..

anyways.. about the noms from my country :

Favourite Artist Indonesia - I love all the nominees here. Just wish that PeterPan, Sheila on 7, Dewa19 or Keris Patih and Gita Gutawa on the list too. I root for Andra & The Backbone and Yovie & Nuno
- Andra & The Backbone [Sempurna MV] I like this song.
- Mulan Jameela [Makhluk Tuhan Paling Seksi MV]
- Nidji [Heaven MV] from Heroes drama
- Yovie & Nuno [Menjaga Hati MV] I so love this song.
[/i]

I agree adikeluangman said.. I vote for andra & the backbone! it's been a while since Indonesian hear true rock music (not just poprock from sleezy bands that's been anywhere.. ). but Nidji is leading right now.. theyre not bad.. i like few of their songs.

SheilaOn7 and Dewa19 haven't been active for the last years..(and their popularity kindda plummet).. kerispatih, peterpan, and gita gutawa were active.. but their songs wasn't so dominant as the noms..

[MidnightDream__x3]

PLEASE BB WIN THIS!
I'll only go if Big Bang, Wonder Girls, of SNSD would be there. But ultimately, I do hope BB will win. *votes*
(Super Junior has already been to Malaysia and will be holding a concert soon)

^ do you know where Super Junior is performing in Malaysia?

JARED LETO - Host of 2008 MTV Asia Awards
June 10, 2008



Jared Leto is a rebel with a gallant cause. With his deep-set sparkling blue eyes and 14 year track record in the media industry, it is clear that Jared possess an immense amount of enthusiasm, drive and charm that have constantly kept audiences captivated.

Back in the humble days of 1994, Jared starred in hit teen-series "My So-Called Life" and since then has developed such an affinity for acting that he was cast by major directors in some of the greatest movies of our time, such as "Fight Club", "Girl Interrupted" and "American Psycho". Following which, his determination and dedication towards acting landed him the lead in "Chapter 27" where he had to put on 67 pounds for the role of John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman and he had to lose 28 pounds for his critically acclaimed role as a heroin addict in "Requiem for a Dream".

His edgy personality does not stand alone in films but can also be seen in his expression of music. Jared is the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and sole songwriter of his band 30 Seconds to Mars. Armed with his ravishingly good looks and stellar vocals, Jared, together with his band, has expressed deep concern over the global warmng issue with their album A Beautiful Lie - an emotional album thematically based around the concept of change.

This year, the multi-talented Jared will again be put in the spotlight by hosting the MTV Asia Awards (MAA) in Genting, Malaysia. "It's an honor to be a part of what I'm sure will be an exciting and unforgettable night in a magical and beautiful country," says Leto. "MTV has been an important home for 30 Seconds to Mars throughout our worldwide journey. I am very proud to join everyone in such a unique and gorgeous location like Malaysia. It is going to be a crazy and wonderful night."

NEWS

The Golden M Bar
June 20, 2008



Talk about bling! One of the highlights of the 2008 MTV Asia Awards will be the design of the trophy, which transcends the conventional template of other award trophies. The MTV Asia Awards trophy embodies the “breaking rule” philosophy of the brand, providing viewers, fans and artists alike with off-the-wall creativity and inspiration. This year, MTV will be presenting the winners with a heavyweight item to mark the return of a glamorous M-- a gold bar in the shape of an ‘M’.

“M is back and what more to make a statement than with a gold bar in Genting – The City of Entertainment? It is extravagant, lavish and over-the-top, the ultimate Bling! Other than putting the M back into music, we’re also bringing the Mojo back into the most authoritative International Music Awards Show in Asia,” said Silvia Goh, Vice President, Multiplatform Content.

The trophy is plated in 24K gold by Risis, MTV’s official partner for the trophy. Each trophy comes in a customised velvet case and envelope. “All that glitter may be gold after-all!” added Silvia Goh.
