Kara Wai Ying Hung, Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling, Babyjohn Choi Hong Yik, Max Zhang Jin and Anthony Chan Yau yesterday attended the Hong Kong Film Award event and announced the THE JADE BOW (WAN HOI YUK GUNG YUEN) and SHAOLIN TEMPLE (SIU LUM JI) film series director Cheung Sing Yim will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award. They also unveiled the event program.

Siu Hung still thought that she was not fit enough and was working hard on her weight loss in hopes of appearing her best at the award ceremony. She said, "Everyday I only eat oatmeal and apple. For breakfast I had two eggs and fruit. I am 2 pounds away from my goal. (Would your gown be even sexier?) I don't have much to show, I can only display an aura." She admitted that she wanted to win Best Supporting Actress, like at an exam no one wanted to "flunk". However the competition was truly very strong, even if she lost she would have nothing to sya.

Chan Yau and Zhang Jin were nominated for Best Supporting Actor with RIGOR MORTIS (GEUNG SI) and THE GRANDMASTER (YUT DOI JUNG SI). After 20 years without a film Chan Yau received a nomination as soon as he returned. "Thank you." Although he was considered the favorite, he had no pressure. "I have worked in this circle for so many years, if I was announced the winner I would hurry to the stage to accept, if not that I would hurry to shake the winner's hand! My wife says that if I win, it would be due to three lifetimes of practice." Chan Yau said that his biggest rival was Huang Bo.

Zhang Jin said that he was not nervous and would face the race calmly because a lot could not be expected, just like he did not know at first that Yuen Wo Ping recommended him to Wong Kar Wai to make THE GRANDMASTER (YUT DOI JUNG SI). He admitted that his wife Ada Choi Siu Fun was more nervous than he was. His wife will return from Beijing to attend with him. Speaking of the film's stunt coordinator Ju Kun who is missing on the Malaysia Airline flight, Zhang Jin said that he checked on Ju Kun's family, but not everyday. If his assistance was needed he would help at anytime. He said, "We often share family photos online. We are both fathers of two children, so I really feel......(choking up), I am not saying anymore, I am afraid that I would lose control." Yet he still succumbed to tears.

Best Actress nominee Ngan Cheuk Ling said that she would not think about what she would wear and left that for her company to make arrangements. Currently the most important was to rehearse her performance choreography with Babyjohn. Because she would be performing in front of elders, she had a lot of pressure.
