Sean Lau is still excited for fourth HKFA Best Actor win
29 Apr - Despite it being his fourth Hong Kong Film Awards' accolade, Sean Lau dismissed the idea that the feeling is already "stale". The actor, who won another Best Actor award for his performance in "Papa", admitted that he was still nervous during the announcement, as winning an award is a wonderful thing. "I just reminded myself that I am just lucky. Seeing Jo Koo and Dylan So won their categories already made me feel like my dreams have come true," he said. His two co-stars, Jo Koo and Dylan So won Best Supporting Actress and Best New Performer, respectively. Sean, who defeated Raymond Lam, Neo Yau, Aaron Kwok and fan favourite Michael Hui to win the award, said in his speech that the film taught him many things he didn't know. Meanwhile, when asked why wife Amy Kwok was not around, he responded jokingly, "Amy is quite a private person and primarily focuses on behind-the-scenes work. Although she wasn't here today, her influence is evident in my appearance, as she contributed to my look." Sean previously won Best Actor at the HKFA in 2006 for "My Name is Fame", in 2015 for "Overheard 3" and in 2023 for "Detective vs Sleuths". (Photo Source: HKFA IG)

Two discarded HKFA trophies found at waste management centre
27 Jan - Director Alex Cheung recently expressed his surprise over a viral photo of two discarded Hong Kong Film Awards' trophies that were found at a waste management facility. Sharing the photo of the two trophies, Alex posted, "The Hong Kong Film Awards is the highest honour for each of us filmmakers. I also participated in the voting for the HKFA, but I saw the post from a Facebook friend saying that two discarded trophies were picked up at the transfer station." Upon inspection, some netizens commented that the trophy on the left of the photo was the award for Best Costume for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was won by the late art director Bruce Yu. Many took to the comments to share their thoughts, with one suggesting that Bruce's family might have thrown it away so not to feel sad seeing it following his passing. Meanwhile, others said that the way it was discarded seemed to suggest otherwise. However, most of them believe that everything happened for a reason and that the two trophies should be sent to an archive or a museum to be preserved. Bruce, who was also a costume designer, passed away in 2022. He was a 23-time nominee and 4-time winner of the Hong Kong Film Award and had worked on films like "The Mermaid", "Mulan: Warrior Princess", "Yesterday Once More" and "The Four" among others.
