Wazzup Pilipinas!It looks like Kim Chiu has gained a significant footing among her online fans as she emerged as the most popular celebrity gaining the largest votes and in a lead with hundreds of thousands among the other nominees at the recently concluded Yahoo Celebrity Awards.

Aside from winning the highest Celebrity of the Year award for 2014 because of her 744, 773 votes, she was also awarded as the Actress of the Year with 725, 162 votes.

Her movie Bride for Rent also won as Movie of the Year with 630, 061 votes, and her teleserye Ikaw Lamang won as Teleserye of the Year with 704, 038 votes.

I guess her die-hard supporters really made a lot of effort to see her lead the Yahoo Philippines online voting and totally showed their strength as they also dominated the online votes as her love team fan club with Xian Lim, KimXi, also won as the Fan Club of the Year with 578, 015 votes.

Her leading man on the Ikaw Lamang teleserye Coco Martin also won as Actor of the Year, of which must have been influenced by her fans as well since the two are love team in the show.

The Yahoo Celebrity Awards was a truly memorable night celebrated with style and powered by the fans. Hosted by Maxene Magalona and Robbie Domingo, the night was made even more special with teh appearances of celebrities we rarely see nowadays.

It was a truly star-studded evening filled with lots of entertainment numbers by our popular performers including Maja Salvador who was the most requested to perform based on online votes so therefore the audience got its wish and we saw how charming the young My Legal Wife actress was on stage.

Let us see who walked the purple carpet of Yahoo Philippines' awards night held last July 18, 2014 at the SM Mall of Arena dubbed as the Yahoo Celebrity Awards. The likes of Annalisa star Andrea Brillantes, the awards hosts for the night Maxene Magalona and Robbie Domingo, and the collegiate basketball stars Teng Brothers Jeric and Jeron, were among the early birds who walked the purple carpet leading towards the awarding ceremonies.

Fans were all swooning over the purple carpet as they catch glimpses of their favorite stars along with some photo ops and especially selfies as the stars walked along their way. The night was filled with cheers and lots of flash bulbs from many photographers and fans who have now captured the images of many of these celebrities and made part of their portfolios, fan photo albums or even scrapbooks.

Joyce Pring led the interviews along the purple carpet as they took opportunities to chat with the celebrities before they proceed to the stage lounge to await the awarding ceremonies. I got an opportunity to only have a photo with ABS-CBN Entertainment News Reporter Gretchen Fullido and the Queen of All Media, who also won as Female TV Host of the Year, Kris Aquino.

Let me share some of the many photos I got from the event for your viewing pleasure.
