Myolie Wu Hung Yi, Nina Paw Hee Ching, Liu Kai Chi, Lam Ka Tung and Sammul Chan Kin Fung yesterday were guest presenters at the 8th Global Chinese University Student Film and Television Awards at the Baptist College. Some felt that Hong Kong film and television personnel had no successors, Sister Paw hoped that the industry could discover successors here. The annaul film industry event, the Hong Kong Film Awards, will take place Sunday. Sister Paw with CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI) was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. The film also had five nominations so everyone have already agreed to walk the red
carpet together. Who would Sister Paw like to win the most? She honestly said that she hoped Mimi Choo and the director (Ivy Ho) would win. Although Mimi Choo's victory would mean a loss for her as the favorite, she has already won before. She was already very satisfied with being recognized. She said, "In the past the same few won awards, actually Hong Kong has many good actors. More winners are good. (How likely do you think co-star Tang Wei would win the Best Actress?) Although she works very hard, (Carina) Lau Ka Ling's momentum is strong. In addition Tang Wei is very young and knows that her goal is to direct and develop in other areas. Thus she does not care about the award. In addition Ka Ling very much deserves to win." STOOL PIGEON (JING YUN) Best Supporting Actor nominee Liu Kai Chi had confidence in Best Actor nominees and co-stars Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Nicholas Tse Ting Fung. He would like them both to win. He joked, "The palm is flesh, the back of the hand is flesh too. (That means Fat Gor doesn't need to win Best Actor?) No, Fat Gor deserves to win at any time." Who would be his favorite to win Best Supporting Actor? He talked like Donald Duck, if you understood then you did. "It is what it is, everything is in the silence."

To honor local film industry professionals, the 17th Hong Kong Film Critic Society Award was presented yesterday at the Hong Kong Film Archive. Best Actor Teddy Robin Kwan and Best Actress Miriam Yeung Chin Wa both accepted their awards in person. Chin Wa dressed up to accept her first film honor. When she accepted the award from Johnnie To Kei Fung she was so touched that she was teary eyed.

Earlier the event has already announced the winners. Yesterday many winners including Ivy Ho (On Sai), Su Chao-Pin, Lam Ka Tung, Teddy Robin, Yeung Chin Wa attended. The event also asked To Kei Fung to be the special guest presenter. First time Best Actress Yeung Chin Wa dressed up for the occasion and became the media focus. When she accepted the Best Actress award she was tearfully touched. Chin Wa said, "I don't have any reason to be so scared, so excited! Beyond scared! I have to thank Ms. (Elaine) Lok, Brother (Lawrence) Tan and (Barbara) Wong Chun Chun!" After settling down, she said, "I am very glad to have a long road ahead, I still have room for improvement! I am very happy that the event recognized my actor identity!" She also took the chance to promote and said, "Actually I am not expensive, we can meet in person to negotiate!" Chin Wa later admitted that she had no idea about why she was teary eyed. She said, "I don't know why I was so excited even though I knew the result in advance! I never imagined accepting the award from To Sir's hands, I hoped to have more chances to act from now on!" As for taking the chance to make opportunities, Chin Wa honestly said that on many occasions the negotiations were secret. She said, "If I run into a good script and company idea I would do the same! (Would you work for free?) If the company doesn't take a commission then I can!" She smiled and said that she planned to bring the award to bed. Was she confident about the Hong Kong Film Award? She said, "I never thought about winning! The nomination was already more than enough!"

In addition, Best Actor Teddy Robin won his first film award in Hong Kong, which he was very satisfied. He said, "I don't act much, over the years I have only 20 some movies. I worked behind the scene more. However this victory is cherished, it is unexpected!" As for the Hong
Kong Film Award Best Supporting Actor nomination, he said that the company enrolled him into the competition. Teddy Robin said, "In the film I can be Lead or Supporting Actor. Hong Kong Film Award is industry recognized so I hope for even better opportunities, but the nomination is
already a victory for me!" He said that GALLANTS (DA LUI TOI) boss Andy Lau Tak Wa will treat them to dinner to celebrate.

The Hong Kong Film Development Council representative and a dozen or so Hong Kong directors including Alex Law Kai Yui, Mabel Cheung Yuen Ting, Ivy Ho (Ong Sai), Barbara Wong Chun Chun, Yanyan Mak Yuen Yan, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, Clement Cheng Si Kit and others will attend and recommend many low budgets Hong Kong life reflecting films like ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU), CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI), GALLANTS (DA LUI TOI) and LOVER'S DISCOURSE (LUEN YUN SHUI YU) as well as new directors overseas.

The Hong Kong Film Critic Society yesterday announced the 2010 Hong Kong Film Critic Society Award winners. With two nominated films Miriam Yeung Chin Wa with PERFECT WEDDING (PO PO CHIU GAI YUN) defeated Tang Wei and Kwai Lun-Mei to win her first Best Actress. Teddy Robin Kwan with GALLANTS (DA LUI TOI) defeated Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Simon Yam Tat Wa and Chapman To Man Jat to win Best Actor. GALLANTS also won Best Picture.

Yesterday the Hong Kong Film Critic Society announced its award winners. This year's results after eight hours of discussions and three rounds of voting were chosen. Yeung Chin Wa was nominated with LOVE IN A PUFF (JI MING YU CHUN GIU) and PERFECT WEDDING and finally won with PERFECT. Chin Wa as the city woman was full of rhythm and at the same time had her own style, thus she won. Chin Wa was very happy about winning Best Actress and felt that it was lucky. She said that before taking every role she never thought about winning. She only thought about playing the role well. This award truly was a very pleasant surprise.

Chin Wa said that everyone has only recognized her singer identity. This time recognized as an actress she truly was very excited. She hoped in the future more directors would give her the chance to try even more different characters. She definitely would work hard. Chin Wa also said that when she learned that she won the Best Actress, she suddenly remembered the title of Lau Ching Wan's film MY NAME IS FAME (NGOR YIU SING MING). Actually when someone seriously worked hard and persisted to the end she would finally be recognized. She also pointed out that film was a group project that required the hard work of many. She thanked Ms. Elaine Lok Yi Ling, Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui and Barbara Wong Chun Chun for giving her such a great script. This script went very in depth with the emotional upheaval of a 30 year old woman. Chin Wa said that her favorite scene with the chat with Teresa Mo Shun Kwan at the
spa, which was able to speak for a group of career women. She also liked her relationship with Eric Kot Man Fai in the film. She said, "Maybe she too had experience in handling exes, ha ha......I know that painful feeling and emotion so I was able to be more at ease with the
performance."

Best Actor went to GALLANTS' Teddy Robin Kwan, who won because his character was not mainstream. Yet in the second half of the story he had quite a presence. His body language and voice were full of a grand master style, as he successfully defeated LA COMEDIE HUMAINE (YUN GAN HEI KET)'s To Man Jat, STOOL PIGEON (SIN YUN)'s Cheung Ka Fai and ECHOES OF THE RAINBOW (SHUI YUET SUN TAU)'s Yam Tat Wa.

Lau Tak Wa's release GALLANTS also won Best Picture. Best Director went to REIGN OF ASSASSINS (GIM YU)'s Su Chao-Bin. Ivy Ho (Ong Sai) with CROSSING HENNESSY (YUET MOON HIN NEI SI) won Best Screenplay. In addition, this year's seven recommended films were REIGN OF ASSASSINS, STOOL PIGEON, BREAKING THE WILLOW (FUNG GUOON CHING SI), LA COMEDIE HUMAINE, LIKE DREAM (YU MUNG), LOVE IN A PUFF and CROSSING HENNESSY. The award ceremony will take place on February 22 at the Hong Kong Film Archive.
