I would prefer ZN/ZYL as Shooting Stars of the Year as they have only paired up last year. Shooting stars/Partnership of the Year seems pretty similar to me. O.O
Don't agree with ZB/MJ as Sad nor Mismatch as they only played in one(?) tournament this year which is the WC and they won. LSM/CYC definitely not shooting stars, TJM/TQ would fit it more than LSM/CYC.
MS
Player of the Year - Lee Chong Wei
Goofball - Let's go along with Tago
Resurgent - Lee Hyun-il?
Cyborg - Chen Jin
Shooting star - Wang Zhengming
Saddest story - Don't know. Go along with SDK.
Handsome - Don't know. Girls would be better to decide. For me, maybe Boonsak/Lin Dan?
Popular - Lin Dan
Yeah, I see your point about the XD; Shooting Stars can be considered to be a relatively newcomer who makes a strong statement/impression (a la RI in WS) whereas Partnership of the Year is about an established duo who has consistently performed as winners throughout the year. Hope this explains...

I mostly like your MS list, just wonder if Taufik wouldn't qualify better for Resurgent Player?
