[2011.04.18] HONG KONG FILM AWARD ATTRACTS A STORM

The 30th Hong Kong Film Award took place last night at the Cultural Center. A red carpet ceremony was held outdoors, but the Hong Kong Observatory issued a yellow storm warning at 3:55PM. Rain continued to fall, soak the red carpet and fill the venue with puddles. The event immediately reacted, not only did it set up tents for the media but also had people to carry umbrellas for the guests. The event also arranged for the guests to walk under the tents on the edge of the red carpet instead of down the middle.

Although the weather did not cooperate, guest spirits remained high as the red carpet still glittered with stars. Many like Carina Lau Ka Ling, Josie Ho Chiu Yi, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Angelababy and JJ Jia (Ga Hiu Sun) all displayed their career lines. Married women like Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi, Miriam Yeung Chin Wa and Esther Kwan Wing Ho dressed conservatively. Because many stars had long trains on their dresses, they were all wet. When Ka Ling and Chin Wa appeared, the rain came down the hardest. However Ka Ling was just as dominating as Wu Zetian and still made poses, she even blew kisses to the media. Would she feel lonely because Tony Leung Chiu Wai could not make time to attend? She said, "no, it's another type of feeling. Don't you feel I am very pretty?" She also said that she revealed very warm text messages from Wai Jai but for now she could not talk about them. Fellow Best Actress nominee Ho Chiu Yi appeared in a purple low cut evening gown with her sisters. She only said that she has always been bold. Her sister loaned her the jewelry. She also said that her father the Casino King should be watching at home to support her. Yeung Chin Wa's train was wet. Because the dress was priceless she was somewhat worried, but she would make the compensation if she had to.

Nicholas Tse Ting Fung and Cheung Pak Chi appeared on the red carpet holding hands. Ting Fung was dressed up like Prince Charming while Pak Chi wore a long black dress with 1.2 million worth of jewelry. Did Ting Fung prohibit Pak Chi to be sexy? He said, "Of course I prohibited it." Was Pak Chi pregnant? She said that for now she definitely was not, but if Ting Fung won then they would quickly make another. If he did not win she would punish him. Their babies stayed home to watch television. Pak Chi honestly said that she was worried that their younger son would smash the television because every time he saw Ting Fung he would be very excited. Nick Cheung Ka Fai also prohibited his wife from being sexy. Why did he not wear the white suit from the previous year? He joked that Ting Fung wore it. Did he bring his wife to bring luck for himself? He stated that he did not believe in metaphysics and the so-called lucky charm.

Angelababy wore a white dress and appeared with Raymond Wong Pak Ming. Her nemesis Janice Man Wing Shan arrived with Aarif Rahman (Lee Chi Ting). Although they did not run into each other, they both wore white. Chau Sau Na wore something low cut in the front and the back, displaying her ample four inch career line. She joked that no water got in. Fiona Sit Hoi Kei wore a long dress with 2.3 million worth of jewelry. She revealed that she had a fever two nights ago and went to bed very early. Although Jaycee Chan (Fong Cho Ming) was in the Mainland, he already sent her a message to congratulate her. Wai Ying Hung wore white to the 1st Hong Kong Film Award, so last year she also wore white. She joked that she has been just as innocent for 30 years. Chow Yun Fat and his wife appeared. The host joked that they were nobles who attracted a storm when they went out. Some said that the storm was an omen that Fat Gor would win. Fat Gor joked, "It's a June frost grievance!" In addition, Ann Hui On Wa fell from the stage to the red carpet and screamed. The crew immediately helped her up and luckily she was not injured.
