Best Picture : Kung Fu Hustle -an excellent and funny film, which I enjoyed much more than Shaolin Soccer. Kung Fu Hustle had its World premiere in Toronto at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2004
Best Director – Ye Tung-Shing for “One Nite in Mongkok” – very good , lots of tension. Shown recently on Omini TV 2.
Best Screenplayer – Edmond Pang for “Beyond Our Ken” This goes on my must watch list.

Best Supporting Actress – Bai Ling in “Dumpling – Three Extreme” – Horror films “arn’t my thing”, but I have heard very good things about this. Might it be a horror in the Alfred Hitchcock sense?
