Comedy serial 'Mat Angin' sweeps 11 awards<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The winners almost took all as comedy serial Mat
\nAngin lassoed eleven awards and TV drama Sepanjang Jalan Kenangan
\n(Along Memory Lane) roped in eight at the Festival Sinetron
\nIndonesia here last night.<\/p>\n
Mat Angin, a miniseries about a poor, opinionated Betawi man,
\nhis panicky wife and their boastful neighbors, won the Vidia
\nUtama trophy, given to the best sinetron (television miniseries
\nand melodramas) of the year.<\/p>\n
Mat Angin won the award for best comedy serial, while its star
\nDeddy Mizwar personally grabbed two awards, for best director and
\nlead actor in the comedy serials category. The TPI serial also
\nwon the awards for supporting best actor, TV playwright,
\nscriptwriter, cinematography, artistic arrangement, editing, and
\nsound.<\/p>\n
Sepanjang Jalan Kenangan, a TV drama which has not yet been
\naired although it was screened for the jury, came second in terms
\nof the number of awards it collected. The drama about an unloved
\ndeviant-turned-psychopath won eight awards, including for best
\nsinetron in the drama category.<\/p>\n
The surprise of the evening was the award in the best drama
\nserial category which went to Jajang C. Noer's Bukan Perempuan
\nBiasa (No Ordinary Woman). The serial had received low ratings
\nand had been largely dismissed by most TV critics. Jajang went up
\nto the stage twice on behalf of her late husband Arifin C. Noer
\nwho won the awards for best playwright and scriptwriter.<\/p>\n
A total of 39 awards were given out in the star-studded
\nfestival at RCTI's Studio 4. The venue was chosen by the
\norganizers to avoid extravagance at a time of economic crisis.
\nLast year it was held at the Jakarta Convention Center.<\/p>\n
Debby Sahertian and Titi Dwijayati, who emceed the show,
\nfailed to liven up the event, with their jokes falling flat. Some
\nof the songs performed, however, saved the evening, particularly
\nthose by AB Three, Andre Hehanussa and Paramitha Rusady, and
\nShakila.<\/p>\n
After presenting the Vidia Utama trophy, Minister of
\nInformation Hartono appealed to the fledgling TV serial industry
\nto strive for quality ahead of the free trade era in Southeast
\nAsia in 2003.<\/p>\n
Underscoring the new Broadcasting Law which requires TV
\nstations to fill 70 percent of their air time with locally
\nproduced programs, Hartono said networks would require a lot more
\nsinetrons.<\/p>\n
He hoped that the rapid growth of production houses will lead
\nto the rebirth of the country's film industry which has been in
\nthe doldrums the past few years.<\/p>\n
In spite of the higher number of entries for this year's
\ncompetition, there were few winners last night with most of the
\naccolades going to Mat Angin and Sepanjang Jalan Kenangan.<\/p>\n
Ayu Azhari won the best actress in a TV drama award for the
\nsecond year running, this time for her role in Perkawinan Siti
\nZubaedah. The best actor award went to J.B. Wijaya for his part
\nin Menyusuri Bayangan Diri<\/p>\n
Chiata Hendrayani won the award for best actress in the comedy
\nserial Fatima.<\/p>\n
A bad foot forced him attend on crutches, but it was a
\nmemorable night nevertheless for Hanny Saputra, director of
\nSepanjang Jalan Kenangan. Not only did his first production win
\nthe best sinetron in the drama category, he also won the award
\nfor best director.<\/p>\n
The winners were selected from 132 titles and 889 episodes.
