VOTING for the 20th Golden Eagle Prize, one of the most prestigious prizes for TV shows in China, is to wrap up tomorrow.

　　Though the count is not yet complete, votes cast to date show that Chen Daoming, leading actor of the TV serial Dynasty of Kangxi, is far ahead in all other nominees for the Most Popular Actor with over 18,000 votes. The actor in second place is lagging behind Chen with around 10,000 votes and it is virtually impossible for him to catch up to Chen before the voting closes. It is almost certain that Chen will win the title.But it is a grueling competition for the actresses.

　　Although Xu Qing is leading in the competition for her performance in the serial A Chinese Woman at the Muzzle of the Gestapo, the margin between her and four other actresses is so close that a few votes could change the outcome. The Golden Eagle Prize is the only prize for TV serials that is on vote by Chinese audiences. Established in 1983, the yearly event has become one of the biggest in the showbiz in China. This year the ceremony will be held from November 1 to 5 in Changsha, Hunan Province.
