'The Grandmaster' celebrates 12 wins at the Hong Kong Film Awards
Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai's Kung Fu epic film "The Grandmaster" won more awards than it's director could count on the fingers of both hands at the 33rd annual Hong Kong Film Awards.
The film broke the record for most wins with 12 awards, including Best Film, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Editing and Best Cinematography.
The previous record was nine wins, held by "Cold Wars" and "Comrades: Almost a Love Story".
Wong picked up his third win for Best Director.
He said the result was surprising, but not completely considering the effort that went into the movie:
"We had hoped to achieve this because three years (production time) is a very long time. Everyone (cast and crew) did an outstanding job. I think that to achievement this is surprising and also not so surprising."
Zhang Ziyi won Best Actress for the second time for her role as Gong Er. However Zhang still regretted that her co-star Tony Leung missed out on a Best Actor award.
"I really hoped that Tony could have won the (Best Actor) award, but I think it's fine, because without this recognition, it doesn't change the fact that he's an outstanding actor. Yes, so there's a little bit of regret."
"The Grandmaster" received 14 nominations at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. Other than the Best Actor Award, the only award it missed out on was the Best Visual Effects Award.
