Hong Kong Film Awards 2025 predictions: Twilight of the Warriors, The Last Dance and more
Even if the filmmakers behind The Last Dance and Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In were to shock everyone and take home zero trophies at the end of the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA) ceremony this Sunday, it is safe to assume they would still feel like winners.

Rounding out the best picture race are Philip Yung Tsz-kwong's haunting family drama
Papa (with 11 nods), based on a real-life case of killing; Adam Wong Sau-ping's
The Way We Talk (seven), about a deaf woman's self-discovery; and Ray Yeung's
All Shall Be Well (five), which highlights a loophole in same-sex couples' legal rights in Hong Kong.
Below, Post film editor Edmund Lee gives his predictions for who will win in the major categories, while also reflecting on who should win.
