The Golden Bell Awards is holding the second night of this year's awards ceremony in Taipei on Saturday to honor the best dramas in Taiwan.

A total of 48 awards will be presented across the two evenings to keep it from running long, according to the organizers. Top awards have been handed out past midnight for many years when the awards were all presented together, and the organizers felt it was time for a change.

Golden Bell for TV drama series presenter Bowie Tsang (曾寶儀) is hosting the Saturday ceremony, where 27 awards for TV drama series will be presented.

Sanlih E-Television (SET) and the Public Television Service is broadcasting the red carpet events from 5 p.m. and the ceremonies starting at 7 p.m. both evenings.

The events will be streamed online live through the Golden Bell Awards' official YouTube channel and Facebook page, the Ministry of Culture's Facebook page, as well as Line TV and Yahoo TV in Taiwan.
