While the media's attention was focused on pop stars, the biggest winner was not anything put out by a mainstream label, but Sheng Xiang and Water 3's album Getting Dark, put out by Trees. What is more, this was not the first time Trees had walked away from the Golden Melody Awards a winner.
但出乎媒體意料的是，獲得最多獎項的音樂作品，不是主流唱片的商業鉅作，而是「大大樹音樂圖像」替「生祥與瓦窯坑 3」發行的專輯《臨暗》，而這已經不是大大樹在金曲獎中第一次滿載而歸了。
