21st Annual Hong Kong Film Awards
 
       The 2001 edition of the Hong Kong Film Awards was notable for a number of things, chief among them the absolute dominance of a mo lei tau sports comedy called Shaolin Soccer. The old adage "good things come to those who wait" applied heavily to Stephen Chow Sing-Chi, who finally walked away with numerous awards in the same year.
     Other notable stories from the awards included the emergence of Karena Lam Ka-Yan, who took home Best New Artist and Best Supporting Actress, matching Shu Qi's feat from 1996. Two new categories made their debut: Best Visual Effects and Best Asian Film. And finally, this year saw the first triple acting nominee since Chow Yun-Fat in 1987. Sammi Cheng Sau-Man saw three Best Actress nominations for her three 2001 releases. She went home with one award - for Best Song.
