The second Hong Kong internet film critic HIGHLIGHT Awards announced its results. The film TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGE (NIN SIU YUT GEI) won 4 awards including film, director Nick Cheuk Yik Him, screenplay and new director. Tony Leung Chiu Wai with THE GOLDFINGER (GUM SAU JI) won "Most HIGHLIGHT Best Actor", while Jennifer Yu Heung Ying with IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUT JI HA) won Best Actress. Best Supporting Actor was FLY ME TO THE MOON (DAN YUEN YUN CHEUNG GAU)'s Wu Kang-Jen and Best Supporting Actress was IN BROAD DAYLIGHT's Rachel Leung Yung Ting. The New Actor Award went to FLY ME TO THE MOON's Tse Wing Yan.

Yu Heung Ying thanked the internet film critics, and said that she has visited many online film critic sites and sometimes would even comment. She said, "Everyone on the IN BROAD DAYLIGHT team have put their hearts into it because everyone knew this subject was very serious. The production atmosphere was very memorable for me."

Best Supporting Actress Leung Yung Ting said, "Thank you very much to the internet film critics for liking my performance. Normally I would pay attention to comment on various channels to increase the 'knowledge base' of my performance." TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGES won 4 awards and became the big winner. Director Cheuk Yik Him said, "I am very grateful, thank you very much for being so supportive of TIME STILL TURNS THE PAGES. This is our entire team's honor!"

Yu Heung Ying on the ViuTV program SAT NIGHT SHOW, which invited her and her film IN BROAD DAYLIGHT's director Lawrence Kan Kwan Chun and co-stars Bowie Lam Bo Yi, Rachel Leung Yung Ting, and Hui Yuet Seung as its guests, talked about attending last year's Hong Kong Film Awards. "Because I was pregnant at the time, I would very easily get tired and sleepy; so I prepared a lot under my seat. Each time I wasn't on camera, I would take out a carton of milk to drink because I was very hungry." As for the award, she said that she would not pay too much attention on winning and losing. The most important was to adjust her state of mind and expectation herself.

Speaking of the most memorable scene, Lam Bo Yi admitted that it was hosing the elderly residents on the roof. "I cried both times I watched it, it really was a heartache. That scene's camera use, pace, etc., made viewers walk between seeing and not seeing and completely felt that mercilessness." IN BROAD DAYLIGHT received 16 Hong Kong Film Awards nominations this year. Best Actor nominee Lam Bo Yi said that many people liking this film was already a type of recognition, he would treat the award show normally.
