Keongomaniac Khronicles: 3rd Keongomania Awards (Honorary Category)

HONORARY CATEGORY
.

This is the last of the categories in the Keongomania Awards. The Honorary Category houses the most prestigious recognitions in Haz Wayne's World, including the naming of the knights who are the Honourable Bearers of the Sword and Shield of the High King, the highest honour of it all.

Honourable Title

Haz Wayne's All-Time Favourite Fantasy (Book) Series

Unlike the Of-The-Year recognitions (in Blue Borders) which are specific to the year they are awarded, the All-Time honourable title (In Red Border) is a permanent recogntion, tailored for a particular entity. In 2007, the honourable title Haz Wayne's Greatest Villain of All-Time was conferred to Darth Vader from Star Wars.

In this 3rd Keongomania Awards, C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles Of Narnia is honourably named Haz Wayne's All-Time Favourite Fantasy (Book) Series. Favoured since year 2000, the Narnia books were referred to as "Book of Priceless Gem". Highlight were given once again to the book series after the successful film adaptations The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) and Prince Caspian (2008).

Sword and Shield of the High King (Knighthood)

In 2008, the Sword and Shield of the High King knighthood is introduced to the Keongomaniac Khronicles. This is by far the highest honour in all of Haz Wayne's World. Those conferred with this award will be known as an Honourable Bearer, and given the title of Sir (or Dame for females).

So far, the recipients of the Keongomaniac Lifetime Achievement Award (in Gold Borders) are honoured with the knighthood.

Keongomaniac Lifetime Achievement Award

Sir Heath Ledger

A shocked Haz Wayne's World accelerated Sir Heath Ledger's knighthood in early 2008. Conferred with the Sworld and Shield of the High King merely a month after his untimely death, rumours have been rifed that it was Sir Heath's saddening demise that inspired the creation of a "high honour" in Keongomaniac Khronicles.

While many have since questioned Sir Heath's eligibility in receiving the Keongomaniac Lifetime Achievement Award, his many great accomplishments as a very versatile actor and talented youth in an all-too-short a lifetime places him more than deserving in receiving Haz Wayne's highest honour.

Keongomaniac Lifetime Achievement Award

Sir P. Ramlee and Lady Saloma

Legend of the Malay film industry who was responsible for the great Golden Age of Malay Cinema in the Shaw Brothers studio of Jalan Ampas Singapore, Sir P. Ramlee (born Teuku Zakaria bin Teuku Nyak Puteh) was knighted after the illuminating P. Ramlee the Musical (by Malaysia's Enfiniti Productions) staged at the Esplanade in May 2008, in conjunction with his 35th death anniversary.

Sir P. Ramlee was conferred the Keongomaniac Lifetime Achievement Award together with his wife the legendary Lady Saloma (Singapore-born Salmah Bte Ismail). She had been credited as Sir P. Ramlee's muse and musical inspiration, and thus instrumental in his successes. It is understood that Sir P. Ramlee primarily receives the knighthood, which means Lady Saloma (as his wife) also receives the customary honorary title of "Lady", instead of "Dame". Nonetheless the award is conferred to both of them simultaneously.

Keongomaniac Lifetime Achievement Award

Dame Audrey Hepburn

One of Hollwood's greatest and most beautiful actresses of all-time, Dame Audrey Hepburn is thus the first female to be fully knighted in Haz Wayne's World. An icon of her times and of the Golden Age of Hollywood, Dame Audrey is best remembered for her pioneering role in Roman Holiday (1953) and Breakfast At Tiffany's (1961). She is one of the few people who have received an Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony award, the four major entertainment awards in American show business.

In her later life, she dedicated herself as the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, and has gone to Ethiopia, South and Central America, Vietnam and Somalia among others. For her humanitarian efforts, she was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992. In Haz Wayne's World, it is interesting to note that Queen Natalie (Portman) who rule the movies has been noted by some as reminiscent of a "young Audrey Hepburn", and has almost similar features.
