Hong Kong singer-actor Alex To won Best Supporting Actor for crime thriller Sons Of The Neon Night, while Taiwanese actress Shu Qi clinched Best New Director for her directorial debut Girl.
The annual dinner and awards presentation held by the HKFDG is regarded as a precursor to the HKFA, which will be held on April 19.
Tony Leung was recognised for his role as mysterious criminal mastermind The Shadow in the Chinese-Hong Kong crime thriller The Shadow’s Edge. The film also starred Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan as a retired surveillance expert called back to track down The Shadow’s syndicate.
Leung, 68, told the Hong Kong media that he had not attended the HKFDG dinner for several years and turned up on March 22 to show his support after just returning to the city from a work assignment in Beijing.
