PUTRAJAYA: Nur, the tale of a compassionate and unconventional religious teacher who guides a prostitute back to the right path, monopolised the awards at the Anugerah Drama Festival Kuala Lumpur 2019 tonight.
It took home all but four of the 10 award categories including Choice Drama, Choice Actor for Syafiq Kyle, Choice Director and Script for Shahrulezad Mohamadin, Choice Screen Couple for Amyra Rosli and Syafiq and Choice Antagonist for Azhan Rani.
The awards’ ambassador Janna Nick won Choice Actress for Semerah Cinta Humairah, playing a woman who is forced into an unhappy marriage.
“Nur has been truly phenomenal. Last year we won Best Drama, Actor and Actress at the Anugerah Skrin. Here’s hoping Nur 2 which is now airing on TV will be just as successful,” said Shahrulezad.
Haqiem Rusli’s and Aman Ra’s duet Jatuh Bangun from the drama Shah & Zam won Choice Theme Song and My Sensei Nyonya won Choice Chinese Drama Series.
Orang Kita, which revolves around social media addiction and directed by Mohamad Edzuan, won Choice Short Drama.
The annual awards was held at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC) and broadcast live on TV3 at 9pm.
