26th Hong Kong Film Awards

Yup, I woke up at 8:30am just to hear the Hong Kong Film Awards show live through RTHK (I thought it was live but actually it isn't). Some resting hours sacrificed (from someone who’s still sick), but it’s okay for that annual ceremony. I didn’t see all the nominated films but congratulations to all winners! Hmmm...I'm so unpro when it comes to the names of the people working behind the scene.

So sweet when he thanked his girlfriend.

Tony Leung and Carina Lau presenting this award together…what a gimmick!

I’m very happy that the singers for the nominated songs were present to sing on stage but did Rene Liu perform as well? Anita Yuen’s speech about fans was good and right, hope that Andy Lau feels better now!
