The Hong Kong Film Awards Association has announced the nominations for the 29th Hong Kong Film Awards. Several dozen Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan stars starred BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING) received 19 nominations and became the focus. It also broke the past most nomination records made by Infernal Affairs with 16 nominations.
Among BODYGUARDS AND ASSSASSINS’ 19 nominations, it received two Best Supporting Actor, two Best Supporting Actress and two Best New Performer nominations. Executive producer and producer Chan Ho Sun was pleased and expressed his feeling with a line from the film. He said, “I am very happy, this can be considered as ‘for the fortune of winning an award, we have to experience the pain of nomination. This pain is mutual destruction!’”
Li Yuchun received Best New Performer and Best Supporting Actress nominations. Her BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS theme song POWDER (FEN MO) was also nominated for Best Original Film Song.
