The 41st Hong Kong Film Awards announced the shortlist on February 9. A total of 33 films were shortlisted for 19 awards. Er Dongsheng, chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, said that the number of shortlisted films this year has decreased compared with previous years, "but fortunately there are some very high-quality and very good results, I believe the competition will be fierce".
Looking at this year's nominee list, the competition between old and new faces is particularly interesting. Directed by newcomer director He Juetian and produced by Weng Ziguang, "The Corridor of Justice" received a total of 16 nominations and became the winner of this year's nominations, including Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Picture, Best Director, Best New Director and other awards.
Another new directorial work, "Still Think You're the Best" (Hong Kong title "Dinner Drama Attacking the Heart") directed by Chan Wing-sun, also received 11 nominations, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, etc.
There are also Academy Award "regulars" on the nomination list: "Tomorrow's War" starring Koo Tianle and directed by Wu Xuanhui, and "Detective Wars" directed by Wei Jiahui and starring Liu Qingyun also received 11 nominations.
In addition, "Narrow Road Dust", directed by Lin Sen and starring Zhang Jicong, received 10 nominations; Directed by Weng Ziguang and starring Kwok Fucheng and Tony Leung, "When the Wind Rises Again" won 8 nominations. The documentary "To Nineteen-Year-Old Me", which recently caused great controversy due to filming ethics, was still nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Editing in this year's Academy Awards.
As for the actor awards, among the top five lists for best actor, "Justice Corridor" occupies two seats, and Liu Qingyun and Zhang Jicong participated in the best actor competition with "Detective Wars" and "Narrow Road Dust" respectively. But it's a pity that Huang Zihua, who performed well in "Still Think You're the Best", was not nominated for Best Actor.
The top five lists for Best Actress are much more competitive, with finalists including Su Yuhua, Mao Shunyun, Zhang Aijia, Zheng Xiuwen and Yuen Lilin. It is worth mentioning that Zheng Xiuwen, she was shortlisted for Best Actress at the Academy Awards for the seventh time with the movie "Flowing Water and Flowers", although the film is not popular, there are still many audiences who hope that Zheng Xiuwen can win the Best Actress trophy for the first time this year.
