TVB Anniversary Awards
The TVB Anniversary Awards (Chinese: 萬千星輝頒獎典禮), officially known as the TV Awards Presentation of TVB, is an annual awards ceremony honoring TVB's programming achievements in Hong Kong television. Winners are awarded a copy of the golden TVB anniversary statuette, which depicts a man and a woman holding up TVB's square logo. It is regarded as the Hong Kong equivalent of the Emmy Awards.
The awards for Best Drama, Best Actor, and Best Actress in a TVB drama series were first presented in 1997 as the final act for the TVB Anniversary Gala, a star-studded event held every year on November 19, TVB's anniversary day. Several more award categories were introduced in the following years. In 2006, the event became a separate awards ceremony, and is given on the last month of the year. Carol Cheng has been hosting the awards ceremony since 2006.
