The fresh out of the oven Golden Horse Best Actress Chung Suet Ying defeated elders like Sylvia Chang and the result was unexpected! Afterwards, she attended the celebration banquet with the team. She admitted that she was stunned when she heard her name, and also revealed that she would put the award by her bed. Claimed to be a crybaby, she was calm when she won the award. She explained, "Maybe I really didn't think about it and I haven't woken up yet." However, she said that when she saw "Little Golden Horse Best Actress" Audrey Lin Pintong, and her acquaintances who are also from Hong Kong like Siuyea Lo Chun Yip and Angela Yuen Lai Lam, she wanted to cry loudly. Reportedly that Chung Suet Ying actually had a "narrow victory" this time. Wen Tien-Hsiang, CEO of the Golden Horse Executive Committee, revealed that the jury discussed the awards for 7 hours and the competition for best actress this time was fierce. Each jury member had their own favorites. Sylvia Chang in DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER was near perfection; LOVE LIES' Ng Kwan Yu brought her expertise of comedy to even higher level, and had full command of her dramatic scene performance in the film. Chung Suet Ying played a hearing impaired person and received the jury's praises for the layers in her character's internal changes. The discussion focused on the three. Sylvia Chang and Chung Suet Ying competed in the final round and Chung Suet Ying received the most votes among 16 jury members for the award. When Chung Suet Ying was selected, some jury members were dissatisfied and proposed to "overturn the verdict"! However that would require over 2/3 of the jury's agreement, which did not happen. As for Best Actor, Zhang Zhiyong received the highest number of votes, followed by Neo Yau Hawk Sau in second place and received praises from the jury for his sign language performance as "complete and motivational".

In addition, Sylvia Chang was interviewed when she attended the celebration of DAUGHTER'S DAUGHTER and expressed that she was not sad about not winning Best Actress. At the same time, she made a "retirement" declaration and expressed that she wanted to retreat behind the scenes. Last night, Wu Kang-ren partnered with Audrey Lin Pintong to present the Best Actress Award. He had a relationship with one of the nominees Kimi Hsia. Lin Pintong was "cleverly" responsible for introducing Kimi Hsia's work, role and interpretation method, allowing Wu Kang-ren to successfully "avoid" his ex-girlfriend.

Chung Suet Ying won the "Best Actress" award at the 61st Golden Horse Awards Ceremony with the movie THE WAY WE TALK (HONG NGOR GUM TIN JUM MOR SUET) the night before. When she accepted the award she placed it on the ground, extended her hands and signed to the hearing imapired to express her gratitude; many online commended Chung Suet Ying for doing so.

As for the moment when the award presenter Wu Kang-ren announced the Best Actress, the reactions of the nominees for "Best Actress" also became the focus. Chung Suet Ying clasped her hands into fists, shrugged her shoulders and snickered, constantly making funny expressions; Sylvia Chang also swayed her body from side to side; Sandra Ng Kwan Yu covered her smile with her hand. When the results were finally announced, Ng Kwan Yu and Kimi Hsia showed surprised expressions. Kimi Hsia's mouth was wide open as she applauded. Kwan Yu felt little like Kenneth Ma Kwok Ming's "naturally stunned". Sylvia Chang's expression was also quite funny, as she immediately clapped vigorously. As for Patra Au Ga Man, she smiled calmly.

In addition, a celebration banquet was held the night before WAY and Ang Lee and Li Pingbin, chairman of the Executive Committee of the Golden Horse Awards, both appeared to congratulate the new Best Actress Chung Suet Ying. Chung Suet Yeung spoke about her first Best Actress award. "At the moment the announcement was made, I was so surprised that I showed a 'huh?' expression. Even during backstage interviews I still couldn't believe that I won, I couldn't have but cry." The Golden Horse Best Actor nominee Yau Hawk Sau did not win but he was the second choice in the hearts of the jury and his acting has been recognized. He said, "When I learned of the jury voting I was very excited." His co-star Chung Suet Ying was not worried that Yau Hawk Sau would be disappointed. "Yau Hawk Sau's soul is very strong, no need to worry about him."

Ng Kwan Yu did not let the race result dampen her mood. At the celebration she said that she was proud of Hong Kong actors. When she saw Ang Lee she happily embraced him and took selfies. She said that she really liked and admired him. She even asked Ang Lee, "When would you ask me to make a movie?" Ang Lee smile and replied, "I will." She screamed out of excitement. Speaking of her cheat cut kiss with Greg Hsu on the stage, Ng Kwan Yu praised Greg Hsu as cute and revealed that he made the suggestion. She joked, "Otherwise I didn't originally plan on a cheat cut."

Once a Commercial Radio DJ, Chung Suet Ying in her thank you speech gave special thanks to ILUB. Members Jim (Yan Chi Hong) and Donald Tong Kim Hong separately posted their photos with Chung Suet Ying to congratulate her on her Best Actress award.
