| Nomination for "The ORYZA FOUNDATION FOR ASIAN PERFORMING ARTS Award for Best Accent of the Year" ALVIN MAHARAJ in 'Citizen 3' by Davina Goh, part of 'Asian Tales™: Native Alienz', for... "Best portrayal of a Malaysian-Indian Taxi Driver by a Fijian-Indian-Kiwi actor who is, alas, less 'Indian' than his Malaysian-Chinese director, who (ironically) had to teach him how to be and sound Indian through some serious show and tell." AND "Best portrayal of a Malaysian-Chinese 'Ah Beng' accent, especially saying the word 'Ba-na-na'." :) (Am I allowed to nominate something from my own production for an award we are sponsoring? Oh wait. Who cares! Pfft. Hehe.) |

| Nomination for "The SHORT + SWEET AUCKLAND Award for Smallest Part of the Year..." ALVIN MAHARAJ (again!?) in 'Citizen 3' by Davina Goh, part of 'Asian Tales™: Native Alienz', for... "Best portrayal of a Malaysian-Indian Mamak (Hawker) Stall waiter who comes on stage to serve a drink, accidentally eavesdropping on a couple making a somewhat phallic comment about the size of an Indian man's package, turns around flipping a very suggestive elephant-trunk inspired variation of the proverbial birdie to the unknowing couple, all in under 30-seconds. Laughter ensues." As the saying goes... It ain't the size of your role. It's how you use it. :P |
