HONG KONG – Tony Leung Chiu-wai won his sixth Best Actor award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as a flamboyant con man in the crime thriller The Goldfinger. The film won the most awards at the ceremony on Sunday.
His wife, Karina Lau Kar-Ling, came up to accept the award instead, while Leung reacted online to his winning the Best Actor Award for the movie.
Nopawat Likitwong, a Thai filmmaker born and raised in Bangkok, also won the Best Sound Design Award for The Goldfinger, which is based on the story of Carrian Group, a Hong Kong corporation that rose rapidly before collapsing shortly afterwards due to a corruption scandal.
“I’d like to share this award with Poolpetch Hatthakitkosol.” May you get better and more in charge in other respects. Thank you so much for your determination, and thank you to the entire One Cool team,” Nopawat wrote on his Facebook page.
According to CCCL Film Festival, Nopawat graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree from the Faculty of Fine Art, Rangsit University. He currently works as a sound designer and audio post-production manager at One Cool Sound Studio.
The 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, resented by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, took place at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui on April 14, 2024. The Best Film award went surprisingly to A Guilty Conscience.
