惠英红三夺香港电影金像奖影后
The 36th Hong Kong Film Awards were handed out on Sunday night. Hong Kong performers Lam Ka Tung and Kara Wai won Best Actor and Best Actress respectively.
第36届香港电影金像奖颁奖典礼上周日晚在香港举行，香港演员林家栋与惠英红分获最佳男女主角。
Lam Ka Tung starred in "Trivisa", an action crime thriller that grabbed the Best Film award at the ceremony. The story, set in early 1997, features three real-life notorious mobsters, known as "Three Kings of Thieves", who plotted together a final hit before Hong Kong's sovereignty transferred to the central Chinese government.
The film also took trophies for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Film Editing.
In contrast, "Soul Mate," though a nominee for 12 awards, only took home one, for Best Original Film Score. Its co-stars Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun were strong candidates to win Best Actress, the award taken by Kara Wai.
Wai played a woman suffering Alzheimer's disease in the Film "Happiness". She said she accepted the role for her mother, who had been troubled by the same illness for over a decade and just passed away.
When delivering the acceptance speech, Wai said she hoped she hadn't disgraced her mother.
The Best Supporting Actress went to Elaine Jin for "Mad World", and her co-star Eric Tsang got the Best Supporting Actor.
"Mad World' director Wong Chun was awarded Best New Director.
