However, on the sidelines of the festival, there were many controversial opinions that Tran Thanh was favored and did not completely deserve the title of Best Actor. Moreover, the two candidates for this award category were considered more prestigious than the male comedian.
In response to controversial opinions about the award, the male MC has officially spoken out.
Tran Thanh thanked the jury for giving him the award and said that no matter who the award is given to, there will be a lot of controversy on the sidelines because there is no result, no award is absolute.
"For me, having my name printed on an award is just a temporary recognition, having my name printed in the hearts of the public is a long-term thing. Therefore, I will try my best to continue to conquer the audience who do not love or recognize Tran Thanh and will maintain so as not to disappoint the audience who already love Tran Thanh," he said.

Previously, Mr. Tran Luan Kim - Head of the Jury said that the Jury was not biased towards anyone, Tran Thanh winning the Best Actor award was completely worthy of his efforts and dedication.
The reason Tran Thanh won the Best Actor award was based on three factors: "First, Tran Thanh fulfilled the role of Trong Thoai in Cua Lai Vo Bau, he fulfilled the duties of that role. That does not mean the other two nominees did not fulfill their roles, all three completed their duties.
Second, Tran Thanh is a person who has contributed a lot, not only to cinema but also to society. He is famous, especially to the youth. He has a natural and exaggerated acting style, mainly through movements, is a talkative person,... but in this role, all of those things are not used. With Trong Thoai, he did a good job of restraining himself, portraying the character with depth and emotion.
For that reason, we decided to award the Best Actor award to Tran Thanh to encourage him to go further in his film career. Otherwise, he would only be limited to being an MC, performing comedy, participating in game shows, etc.
