Kung Fu Hustle wins Best Picture at HKFCA Awards
The Hong Kong Film Critics Association announced their winners the other day. Stephen Chow's Kung Fu Hustle won Best Picture but he lost the Best Director title to Yee Tung-Shing [One Nite in Mongkok] which I must see really, really soon.
The Best Actor award went to the always awesome Tony Leung (2046). Rene Liu won the Best Actress award [A World without Thieves]. The Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress titles went to Yuen Wah (Kung Fu Hustle) and Bai Ling [Dumpling - Three Extreme].

Good to hear for Chow. It was an excellent movie and I think deserved at least what it got. Chow just keeps getting better and better, though I think it would be hard to say which is the best of his recent films.
And by the way it is Dumpling, though I do think Dumping would have been a funnier title.

Glad to see One Nite In Mongkok got some recognition. Yes Mack, you need to see it ASAP.

Yeah, ONE NITE IN MONGKOK was a damn good movie - actually, there were a lot of great HK films this year (something I can't say in regard to the last few years). ONE NITE..., DUMPLINGS, KUNG-FU HUSTLE, BREAKING NEWS, LOVE BATTLEFIELD, DARKNESS BRIDE, 2046, NEW POLICE STORY... lots of good stuff.

2046 should have cleaned up...

Actually I was a huge fan of Dumplings (The 3 Extremes extended version)...Was my favorite HK film of last year...I didn't get a chance to catch Mongkok though...and A World Without Thieves is sitting near the top of my 'to watch' pile.

Fully deserved, hustle is an excellent movie, one of the most enjoyable I have seen in a long time, agree with ijaffery on 2046, its amazing, on a whole other level to hustle though.

Add Beyond Our Ken to the list of excellent 2004 HK films.
