The 40th Hong Kong Film Awards took place last night. The red carpet was just as star studded. Attending artists included Patrick Tse Yin, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Kelly Chen Wai Lam, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Derek Tsang Kwok Cheung, Venus Wong Man Yik, Nina Paw Hee Ching, Hanna Chan, Hedwig Tam Sin Yin, Chrissie Chau Sau Na, Louise Wong Dan Nei and Minchen Lin.

Best Actress nominee Chau Sau Na wore a black and transparent evening gown and 7 figure in diamond accessories. Because of all the transparent spots in the dress, Chau Sau Na was very careful with every step she took. Wong Dan Nei who was also dressed in black joked that she did not warn her husband Sheldon Lo Hau Yung in advance, but after her husband saw her he called her pretty.

Best Actor favorite Lam Ka Tung made his first appearance since his on set accident and rumored to be unable to attend due to the injury. On the red carpet he appeared rather well, and took care of his Best Actor competition Tse Yin. He said that because Sei Gor said if Lam Ka Tung could not come then he would not come either, so he had to leave the hospital. He jokingly thanks to the heavy hands of the medical staff he was able to rapidly recovery. He said that he was already fine. "I only stayed at the hospital for a few days, because I want to be a little more careful. I was a little dizzy from the medication, but I am much better. I didn't have any fracture, I really have no problem. I hope to get back to work soon. I would work on a lot less action scenes. Seeing how nervous everyone has been, my stress level has gone up too."

Tsang Kwok Cheung and his wife Wong Man Yik made their first public appearance since divorce rumors surfaced. Tsang Kwok Cheung joked that he approved of his wife's sexy appearance, "but I would tell her to button up!"

Tsang Kwok Cheung revealed that he just returned from England and completed his quarantine. He was very happy to be able to attend the Hong Kong Film Award. The 39th Hong Kong Film Award Best Director Tsang Kwok Cheung admitted that not being able to accept the award at a physical award show then was somewhat regrettable, but the event has been great as it gave him an opportunity to accept the award on stage and give his speech. Has he not seen his wife in a very long time? He said that he returned in March once and they got together. He also said that since getting married due to the pandemic they still have not been able to go on their honeymoon. Finally they would be able to go to Europe for a month long honeymoon. Would he take the chance to try for a baby? He shook his head and waved his hand in opposition.

Nick Cheung Ka Fai last night was the Best Actor guest presenter. Just returned from the Mainland over a week, he was asked about his wife Esther Kwan Wing Ho's brother who earlier passed away from a hiking accident. How did he feel? He said, "I feel a little better, you have to adjust your emotions. Something sudden and difficult would always happen in life. While getting used to face joy, you should also face the unpleasant, difficult and changing events." He stated that his wife has gotten better and then asked the media to change the subject. He also said that later he would stay in Hong Kong for a Dante Lam Chiu Yin produced movie, in which he would have to fight nonstop. He was very scared, but since they have worked together many times and cultivated a bond he believed that he would be able to coordinate. Although he would not need to show off his muscles, he would stay agile with training. He said, "Being able to work in Hong Kong is already very good. After work I can go home and have dinner. Being able to sleep in my own bed is already great. I don't know if anyone has tried to be in quarantine for 21 days. I didn't feel too good about it. I could only keep cleaning my room. I even ran in my underwear, because I didn't have much to do."

Kelly Chen Wai Lam revealed that she was recording songs and working with new musicians. She hoped that the songs would be released this year. Would she make another movie? Kelly admitted that making movies was tougher than raising children, as she might need to handle fight and diving stunt scenes in a movie. However she stressed as long as she had a good script she would make it. Kelly also hoped to be able to perform a concert next year at the soonest. Kelly said, "I never thought about fading out of show business, stay at home I have been like a home tutor, very bored. However my two sons' homework has improved leaps and bounds."

Eman Lam was tangled in gossips but said that she felt a little better, because lately she has been busy with STARS ACADEMY 2, music school classes and performance work. "Actually many people have been great, saying encouraging and supportive words to me. (How would you bring back the upset fans?) Many fans have been with me for many years, I believe if I put an effort into the music, I would see them again in the end." She felt like she was a cyberbullying victim, but believed that the sun would come out after the rain and they would meet again with music.

Popular boy band MIRROR opened the show as guest performers as they performed the Hong Kong Film Award theme song GOLD PERSON. The 12 were dressed in black and made quite a presence on the red carpet. Keung To wore over HK$ 1 million in diamond accessories. Jer this year was nominated for Best Original Film Song. He said that he was already very happy with just the nomination. Ian said that he would like to make a movie with all 12 of them, but they would be like a group of kindergarten students on the set. It would be like an absurd comedy. Anson Lo said that they could make a horror film. As for the recent negative news around him, Ian admitted that at first he was a little upset but he is already fine. "I don't keep quiet around people I am close to, people who know me would understand." Edan talked about his new film CHILLI LAUGH STORY (HOP GA LAT) making over HK$ 10 million. He thanked everyone and was grateful for their support. Would he wear swimming trunks to thank everyone if the box office would go higher? He joked that he would worry about it when it reached HK$ 700 million. Anson Kong would have a chance to provide his voice to an animation he really liked. Keung To earlier finished a new Taiwan film in the U.S. He did not know whether he would have to go to promote it in Taiwan later. In addition, when MIRROR appeared, ViuTV broadcast the full 7 minutes. However when the group ERROR appeared it went to commercial. ERROR fans were upset and blasted the comment section on the television station's site.
