Tiny Times sweeps Golden Broom Awards

No one to claim the awards

After receiving the award for "most disappointing actress" in 2013, actress Yang Mi was awarded the same title once more this year for her role in Tiny Times 3 and The Breakup Guru.

"When Yang Mi won the title in 2013, we kindly reminded her (of her problems). She is participating in many films, but she's still going around in circles," said the organizer.

Unlike the "Razzies", no winners of the Golden Broom Awards have claimed the award, a broom-shaped trophy, in person in the six years of the ceremony. According to the organizer, Yang said she "isn't brave enough" to collect her award.

Presenter and actress Yan Danchen said actors and directors should view the Golden Brooms with a sense of humor.

"This is about entertainment. It's not to say that they (the winners) were really that bad, but that they could have done better in their positions. This should be viewed as a form of encouragement," said Yan.

"We truly hope some high-profile winners can come and claim their awards," said Cheng. "If they can bow their heads and listen more to people’s opinions, maybe they can become the best the next year."
