Kazz Magazine held its annual awards on the night of 21 July 2022, and it was a glitzy affair livestreamed on YouTube that lasted almost six and a half hours (linked here).
Bad Buddy Series, Ohm Pawat, Nanon Korapat and Love Pattranite managed to win six awards between them (one of which – for Couple of the Year – graciously comes with two trophies, which is why there are six laid out in front of OhmNanon in their photo above, in addition to Love's).
Kazz Magazine is a Thai monthly fashion and lifestyle publication that focuses on celebrity culture for a youth readership (teens and twenties), so the awards (with a public voting component) are arguably less industry recognition and more a reflection of popularity among the younger set. Doesn't mean they're not deserved though!
These are the awards that they won:
Popular Young Female of the Year 2021 (my rough translation of รางวัลสาววัยใสโดนใจแห่งปี 2021) – Love Pattranite, one of five winners for Popular Young Female of the Year 2021.
Popular Young Male of the Year 2021 (my rough translation of รางวัลหนุ่มวัยใสโดนใจแห่งปี 2021) – one each for Ohm and Nanon, among the five winners for Popular Young Male of the Year 2021.
Best Scene – Bad Buddy Series.
Best Actor of the Year – Nanon Korapat.
Couple of the Year – OhmNanon.
I don't know why the first two awards are for 2021 while the rest seem to be for 2022 though. 🤔
The following are the timestamps on YouTube if you want to skip ahead (there are a lot of musical performances, a number of which – including OhmNanon's, unfortunately – aren't really worth sitting through):
Popular Young Female of the Year 2021 (Love Pattranite) – 4:05:21
Popular Young Male of the Year 2021 (Ohm Pawat) – 4:12:14
Popular Young Male of the Year 2021 (Nanon Korapat) – 4:13:09
Best Scene – 5:07:43
Best Actor of the Year – 5:10:03
Couple of the Year – 6:00:03
Bad Buddy's Director Backaof Noppharnach was busy filming and did not attend, but sent his thanks and congrats on Twitter later. Ohm and Nanon collected the award for Best Scene on his/Bad Buddy's behalf.
In case you were wondering which scene won it – it wasn't The Epic Rooftop Kiss (that was my first thought too 😉). BBS's winning scene (beating out Not Me's giant rainbow flag sequence) was the tin can conversation starting at Ep.12 [4/4] 13.02, where PatPran re-live their secret childhood routine but with their full-grown love now in the mix. PatPran's joyful play-acting with Thai in the formal register is also a summary of their (somewhat secret) relationship, especially when they reference Bad Buddy's Thai title of แค่เพื่อนครับเพื่อน ("Hello. Who's there?" "Just a friend, buddy." "Are you really just a friend, buddy?" "That’s right. Because you don’t tell anyone I’m your boyfriend."). It's a gentle, heartfelt, full-circle moment totally deserving of its win, that Director Backaof uses to bookend their story by morphing them back into their kid selves as the music swells and the camera pans away before the epilogue. 👍💖
Congrats to all! I know the fandom is cheering. 😊💖
Pawat , you're breaking 12 laws out here looking like that.
He and Nanon both won heartthrob of the year awards, Best Scene and best couple. Nanon won Best Actor of the Year. It's so very deserved for all their their hard work. They are both amazing actors and good people.
well... talking abt typos, i thought it was rude to tell, or that the person already know but chose to not change it bc it difficult to change in a gifset, so to not rub the injury even more. but if you want, in the gifset of min telling the fans abt his relationship, when the fan respond you wrote "whenever you're rady" instead of "ready". i could be wrong bc im not english speaker myself but i think it's a typo. love you <3
fcking hell 😩😩 thank you anon! I normally proofread my stuff but I guess I should invest more time in that djkhgf
I fixed the one in the jintamin set even though it doesn't make a difference now but just for my own sanity lmao.
