Having said that, my favorite Hong Kong film of 2008 happens to be... THE WAY WE ARE -- a film which is far from boring and actually has quite a few funny as well as involving scenes. Also, re IP MAN winning Best Film. It just seemed so weird after it didn't win any of the other major awards (like Best Director, Actor, Actress and even Scriptwriter -- three of which went to THE WAY WE ARE).

I wouldn't have minded if way we are won best pic as well but ive always preferred action over drama so i was rooting for ip man...im actually kinda worried ip ma n2 wont be as good because the first one got us to root for him against the Japanese (which was quite rousing emotionally to me and it seemed to most everyone else in the theatre) and the atmosphere in the 2nd would probably be very different...but I hope Im wrong. sweeet! u wrote a response to my comment…a nice surprise and a nice answer too.
