Hoai Linh and Thien Nhan scored a double at the Mai Vang Awards.

On the evening of February 1st, the 20th Mai Vang Awards ceremony of Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper took place at the Ho Chi Minh City Theater with the participation of many artists. In addition to honoring the contributions of established artists, this year's awards ceremony also recognized many new talented faces of the Vietnamese entertainment industry. This was demonstrated by the fact that comedian Hoai Linh and little girl Nguyen Thien Nhan - champion of The Voice Kids both achieved a "double" with the two most important awards.

Besides, this year's Mai Vang also marks the "couple" of young singers Noo Phuoc Thinh and Dong Nhi repeating their feat after a year of hard work and great success.

This is the 10th time the famous actor has received the Mai Vang award, however, he is still quite "greedy" when he humorously shared his hope that in 40, 60 years he will still be able to use a cane to go on stage to hold this trophy in his hand.

Hoai Linh received the award for Most Favorite Comedian.
