Andy Lau Tak Wa with A SIMPLE LIFE (TOH JEH) and Deanie Ip Tak Han won the Golden Horse Best Actor and Best Actress.  Wa Jai won again after seven years, which made him very happy.  Wa Jai's wife Chu Lai Sin was rumored to be pregnant.  Two nights ago Wa Jai at the celebration was asked but Wa Jai neither denied nor admitted it, only saying that he did not want to talk about his family.

After the 48th Golden Horse Awards ended, the organizer held a farewell party.  WARRIORS OF THE RAINBOW: SEEDIQ BALE, A SIMPLE LIFE, and YOU ARE THE APPLE OF MY EYE teams attended.  At the event YOU and SIMPLE's team met and they exchanged congratulations.  YOU director Giddens Ko did not win Best New Director, but he said that not winning was not important.  The most important was a photo with Wa Jai, which made Wa Jai smile ear to ear.  Wa Jai knew YOU had good word of mouth and asked Giddens Ko in advance, "When will you work with me?"  Before Giddens Ko even spoke up, Michelle Chen could not wait to raise her hand.  "Count me in, count me in."  Even Ko Chen-Tung joked that he could work the lights.

Wa Jai pointed out that this was his second Golden Horse Award, the last time was seven years ago.  He said, "Seven years ago I already thought the jury spoiled me, maybe the jury thought that I haven't won in many years and gave the award to me."  he said that this time the jury spoiled Sister Peach (Ip Tak Han) and the movie A SIMPLE LIFE itself.  Such an ending was truly very perfect.  Wa Jai also pointed out that earlier when Ip Tak Han won at the Venice Film Festival he was not present.  This time he was not only there but even presented the award to her and witnessed the director's victory, it was extraordinarily meaningful.  Ip Tak Han said that she was very excited to win with Wa Jai.  Would she lose any sleep?  She said that she would not because she had to pack too.  A SIMPLE LIFE will open in March.  Now the film has won so many awards, will its release be pushed up?  Wa Jai pointed out that it will depend on distribution because it will be distributed along with the Mainland.  Hui On Wa wanted to work with Wa Jai and Ip Tak Han again and joked that it would be the best to win at the next Hong Kong Film Award as well.

In addition, recently Wa Jai's wife Chu Lai Sin was rumored to be pregnant.  Wa Jai was asked about but neither admitted nor denied the rumor.  He only said, "Today I am not talking about family."  Wa Jai, Ip Tak Han and Hui On Wa yesterday arrived in Hong Kong.  Shu Qi was asked whether she was disappointed that she did not win Best Actress.  "With many excellent actors, the nomination is already a type of recognition.  I very willingly concede defeat to Ip Tak Han."
