Will HK Film Awards deem BULLETS mightier than SWORDS? - Nominations Announced!
Notable omissions amongst these were no acting nomination for Chow Yun Fat in LET THE BULLETS FLY, despite both his co-stars, Jiang Wen and Ge You, appearing in the Best Actor category. Also of interest is the fact that Chan's WU XIA managed to accrue so many mentions without appearing in the Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay or Best Actor categories (although Donnie Yen is acknowledged in the Action Design category).
The full list of nominations can be found below and the winners will be announced at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony, to take place on 15 April.
