Jolin Tsai, considered a major contender at this year's awards, received two nominations in the Best Music Video category for her songs "Pleasure" and "Fish Love" from her album "Pleasure." She had previously stated her hope that her director would win the award, having been nominated multiple times in the past without securing the win herself.

Music videos are a great medium for opening up imagination.

Despite her strong nominations and expressed wishes, Tsai ultimately missed out on the award, marking another year without a Golden Melody for Best Music Video. The ceremony celebrated achievements in the Taiwanese music industry, with various artists and creators recognized for their contributions.

Best Music Video award, I should get one, right? I've been nominated many times before without winning, this time I hope the director can win!
