[Beat TG]

had a feeling SPL was gonna win for best action design! congrats to Donnie!

[calros]

"Ke ke xi li" has not international english title?

[dleedlee]

Thanks for posting, Fan.

Still looking forward to seeing PERHAPS LOVE, I'm so behind on my current HK releases. Actually, I've only seen EVERLASTING REGRET, ELECTION and AH SOU of the nominees.

I think Ke Ke Xi Li's international title might be Ke Ke Xi Li: The Mountain Patrol

I believe that is the case

[Knetan]

hey,

think the English title on the Asian prints did include "Mountain Patrol" as well. Internationally, they just switched it around.

Thank you, added.

I am adding all the nominations to the DB and I found that our Michelle Yip Suen cannot be "Michelle Ye" because she is working in movies from 1982, so she cannot be a "new performer". Split.

Careful. Alice Lau Ar-Lai won Best New Performer in 1994 for I Have a Date with Spring, yet she has credits back to the '80s.

Not sure what makes one eligible to be a new performer.

Found this:

Nominees of the Best New Performer award must have not participated in any Hong Kong Film playing a leading role or supporting role before the awards year, his/her eligible film can be more than one. Nominees of the Best New Performer also be eligible for nomination either for the “Best Actor/Actress” or “Best Supporting Actor/Actress” by the same film. If any dispute arise, the Voting Affairs Committee reserves the right for final decision.

The key must be what I've bolded above. The line seems to be drawn between an appearance vs supporting/leading roles.

[calros]

You are right. Changed again. I will wait for more info.
