This year's Hong Kong Film Awards is full of highlights, and it may be the most competitive in recent years, and the key is to get rid of the suspicion of "respecting the elderly" as in previous years.
However, despite the fierce competition, the results of some of the awards still sparked five big controversies!
First of all, the most controversial point of this year's Academy Awards is the Best Actor, but looking at the name Tony Leung, the weight is quite heavy! But Tony Leung defeated Lin Baoyi, Huang Zihua, Dapeng and Lu Zhenye this time, and won the actor crown for the sixth time. Then netizens were indignant, why did Aaron Kwok's performance in "Temporary Robbery" fail to be shortlisted? "Say thank you", make up for a shot", "Don't be bitter brother", Aaron Kwok's performance is not amazing? Is there a "shady" at the Academy Awards?
In fact, it really can't be said that the Academy Awards are black, because "Temporary Robbery" belongs to this year's work, and it should be participating in next year's Academy Awards.
But although Tony Leung has not been nominated for ten years since "The Grandmaster", the last time he won the award for "2046" was 19 years ago, but the performance in "Goldfinger" this time, I have a feeling after watching it, it belongs to eating the old book, a little oily, and there is no breakthrough!
In contrast, Lam Baoyi's performances in "Under the Daylight" and Wong Zihua's performances in "The Poisonous Tongue" were also very breakthrough, but the final defeat also made many audiences feel incomprehensible.
Of course, Lu Zhenye's surprise in "Youth Diary" and Dapeng's unexpected shortlisting are eye-catching. Here is a special talk about Dapeng, it was quite unexpected to be shortlisted this time, you must know that the last time a mainland actor won the Academy Award actor was Jet Li in "Casting a Name", provided that Jet Li did not change his nationality.
I believe that the best actor will be given to Lin Baoyi or Huang Zihua, and there will be no such big controversy!
The second biggest controversy came from the fact that "The Bad Tongue" unexpectedly won Best Picture, although most people's expectations were to choose between "Murder", "Under the White Sun" or "Diary of a Youth". However, in addition to the quality of the film, "The Poisonous Tongue", as the first local film in Hong Kong to break 100 million at the box office, probably has a filter bonus, which is barely acceptable!
The third most controversial is in the Best Asian Chinese Film category, and it is understandable that "Removing the Three Evils of the Week" won the award, but Angelababy's reappearance raises questions. Isn't this sister grounded?
The fourth controversy concerns Lam's failure to be selected for Best Actor in "Homicide," despite the film's success in other categories, including Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Editing.
The fifth controversy is that "Diary of a Youth" received 11 nominations but only won the Best New Director Award, which is definitely the biggest pearl of this year's Academy Awards. The main one is an escort, what can you ask director Zhuo Yiqian to say?
