Winners At The 29th Hong Kong Films Awards

 

Teddy Chen's historical epic, 'Bodyguards And Assassins' was the big winner at Sunday night’s 29th Hong Kong Film Awards. The movie went home with a total of eight awards, including best film, best director, best action choreography, best cinematography and best supporting actor.

Aside from the action thriller, the other most notable winner on the night was Alex Law's local favourite 'Echoes Of The Rainbow'. The low-budget flick, which offers a nostalgic look back at 1960s Hong Kong, scooped four awards, including best screenplay, best actor, best new performer and best original film song.

Special mention must also go to the legendary Kara Hui who won the best actress award for the second time in her career. The first time was back in 1982 for the Shaw Brothers classic, 'My Young Auntie'.
