Finally! The site updated and LoveHKfilm awards announced. I’m more or less happy with the result. If I had to pick one best film (and same goes with best director, best actor, actress and so on) out of the chosen nominees, my choice will not be too different to the announced. But looking at the final list, I can’t help but feeling a little disappointed. It’s China all over! And this is LoveHKfilm awards for goodness sake… I just have to blame the industry and the world, I guess. (It’s no wonder a lot of attention was given to A Simple Life in HKFA.)
It was fun to read ‘All the rest’ awards. Thanks for putting them together with the usual LoveHKfilm touch!

Hi Veronica, you are correct that it is hard to figure out what is a Hong Kong film nowadays. Even most Hong Kong films barely qualify anymore! This may be something worth discussing this year on the blog.

It’s great, another fun thing to look forward to. It’s also great to see that LoveHKfilm award has rules for what to be included and what not. These serve me as a guide too, when I say ‘I love HK films’ in this very confusing day and age. You must have put a lot of thoughts into this but I feel a little (tinzy winzy bit) sad to see the whole Mainland Chinese productions have to be included in LoveHKfilm awards though. (Or they may not be a whole Mainland stuff. I don’t know much about these things unless you say these in your reviews! See, look how influential your reviews are!) I guess HK is in China, HK people are ultimately, well, Chinese, but I used to think HK cinema has nothing to do with Mainland movies..
Oh, I’ll stop grumbling. I look forward to reading the award results, and Thanks, Kozo, for all your hard work!
