This year, the LoveHKFilm.com Awards rears its ugly head way past the acceptable time for an awarding body honoring 2012. No matter, we're doing it anyway, and it'll be as exciting and interesting as previous years — which, depending on your opinion of previous years, may not mean much. Better late than never. Maybe.

Many years ago, we started with eight jury members but now we're down to six. The attrition of our awards jury oddly parallels the dwindling audience interest in Hong Kong Cinema.

Our full list of Awards, including special awards and other miscellaneous stuff, will be announced sometime in late July or early August.

The jury consists of the following individuals, most of whom are using their real names:

Ross Chen (a.k.a. Kozo)
Webmaster, LoveHKFilm.com

Shelley Cheung
Minion of Kozo
Editing Monkey, YesAsia.com

Paul Fox (a.k.a. Canton Kid)
College Lecturer, Media Studies, HKU Space
Creator and Host, East Screen/West Screen Podcast

Rockman

Tim Youngs
Film Festival Consultant

Yuen Man (a.k.a Garden)
