Comic Moment at the Taipei Theatre Awards: Golden Horse Star 谢盈萱 Turned Away at the Door

The second edition of the Taipei Theatre Awards (Taipei Drama Awards) marked a magnificent night that brought together the brightest names in the performing arts world. The "Best Actress" award, a highly significant part of the theatre world, was awarded this year to 徐堰鈴 (Hsu Yen-ling) for her outstanding performance in the stage play "Mantar" (Mogu). The famous actress, also known as the "Queen of Theatre," achieved this great success by leaving behind a highly respected group of competitors consisting of the most powerful and experienced names on stage, such as 林美秀 (Lin Mei-shiu), 王琄 (Wang Chüan), 賴玟君 (Lai Wen-chun), and 何冠儀 (Ho Kuan-i). This result was welcomed with great enthusiasm by art lovers due to her unique contribution to the performing arts, becoming one of the most unforgettable moments of the night.

On the other hand, the award ceremony made headlines with an off-stage incident that caused quite a stir and brought a smile. Famous star 谢盈萱 (Hsieh Ying-hsuan), who was previously crowned in the cinema world by winning the "Best Actress" award at the prestigious Golden Horse Awards, took the stage at this year's ceremony as an award presenter. However, before she even went on stage, a minor disagreement she had with the event's security personnel or officials at the door marked the night. The famous actress, who was stopped at the door, was asked a rather surprising question directly by the officials: "Are you a part of a performance group?"

Faced with this extraordinary and unexpected question, 谢盈萱 shared with the audience a moment in which she felt great astonishment and slight disappointment. Despite being seen as one of the most recognized and respectable faces in the cinema and theatre world, encountering such treatment at the door deeply affected her. While expressing this funny and equally thought-provoking situation, the famous actress conveyed the incident with a humorous tone, stating that at that moment she felt a deep "melancholy" and "sorrow" in her heart. The officials' failure to recognize her revealed an ordinary yet ironic moment that anyone can experience, no matter how famous they are.

This amusing incident quickly garnered widespread attention on social media and within the art community, being brought up by many with a sarcastic but affectionate tone. As the details of the incident spread, the occurrence of such a security mix-up in a highly formal and serious environment like an award ceremony slightly softened the tone of the event. The art community appreciated 谢盈萱's elegant attitude in overcoming this incident with jokes and humor without making a big deal out of it. Many fans began to discuss through this incident how popular culture figures may not always be recognized no matter where they are, and how important it is to handle such situations with professionalism.

Overall, the Taipei Theatre Awards went down in history as an event where both great on-stage achievements were celebrated and unforgettable behind-the-scenes moments were experienced. 徐堰鈴's winning of the award after fierce competition once again demonstrated how valuable dedication and passion in the art of theatre are. In addition, this funny door incident 谢盈萱 experienced during her presenting duties was etched in memories as one of the details that added color without disrupting the rhythm of the ceremony. Such moments clearly reveal that award ceremonies are not just formal days where artistic achievements are celebrated, but also lively events that reflect the human side and solidarity of artists.
