最佳男主角 任达华《岁月神偷》 惠英红

“Bodyguards and Assassins 十月围城” swept the 29th Hong Kong Film Awards with eight wins in major categories including best film, best director for Teddy Chen, best supporting actor for Nicholas Tse, best cinematography, action choreography, costume design, art direction, and original score.



The Peter Chan-produced historical epic blockbuster raked in over 300 million yuan ($43.95 million) in China last Christmas, and topped the Hong Kong Film Awards nomination list with a staggering 19 nominations in 19 categories.


“Echoes of the Rainbow歲月神偷," the nostalgia-fueled and semi-autobiographical drama directed by Alex Law and produced by Mabel Cheung (the team behind “The Soong Sisters”) that won a Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and took over HK$20 million ($2.6 million) in local boxoffice, won four awards including best actor for lead Simon Yam, best new performer for Aarif Lee, best original film song and best screenplay.



Best actress went to Kara Hui for “At the End of Daybreak." Hui, the first winner of the same award 28 years ago at the inaugural edition of the Hong Kong Film Awards for “My Young Auntie," tearfully accepted her second statuette.

Nicholas Tse 谢霆锋 - Best Supporting Actor

 Awards ceremony host Lawrence Cheng warned the assembled industry members the importance of local audience’s support for homegrown films. “No film industry anywhere can survive without local support,” Cheng remarked.
