The film ALL SHALL BE WELL (CHUNG GUM YI HAU)'s stars Patra Au Ka Man and Maggie Li (Lee Lam Lam) won "Best Actress" and "Best Supporting Actress" at the 24th San Diego LGBTQ Film Festival, and won the "Teddy Award" at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival. This time they were able to compete for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress at the 43rd Hong Kong Film Awards. Lee Lam Lam was nominated this time and she felt that she has answered for her acting career. Having won the "Best Supporting Actress" award, Au Ga Man joked that if she could collect a set of course it would be the best.

Competing for "Best Supporting Actress", Lee Lam Lam admitted that she has not performed on screen for more than 30 years. She never imagined that she would have the opportunity to be nominated for the film this time. She said, "I really don't dare to hope to win the award, but I think that being able to have the chance to be nominated, my 60 years in this industry have not been in vain. I can finally answer to myself a little." Which fellow nominee did she feel optimistic about? She said, "As far as the supporting actress nominees are concerned, every one of them has done their best and put in a lot of effort. They are also dedicated to this business, dedicated and happy to work! Now since voters have permitted then to be nominate, we all have a chance." Speaking of her husband John Chiang Dai Wai winning the Hong Kong Film Award for "Best Supporting Actor" for the movie IN BROAD DAYLIGHT (BAK YUT JI HA), would she like to win the "Best Supporting Actress" to be on par with him? Lee Lam Lam joked, "Since I have been nominated, I am of course very happy and encouraged to receive the award. In addition we would be able to put the awards together, it's a good suggestion."

As for Au Ga man's confidence in winning the Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress, she said, "People who have eaten rice for several decades know that a lot of things are not under their own control. There are many other factors, like timing, location and people. Doing my best and getting recognition is already great." Speaking of her winning the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Supporting Actress with the film SUK SUK, she said that if she would win the "Best Actress" award this time she could collect the whole set. She laughed and said, "Of course I wouldn't mind if I would have the chance!"
