「香港電影金像奬」（金像奬）最佳男、女主角榮銜是演員夢寐以求的榮譽，本屆「最佳男主角」獎項由學院派黃秋生、張繼聰、楊偉倫及麥沛東四位演藝學院畢業生「圍攻」電視藝員訓練班出身的劉青雲。曾在第二十六屆及三十四屆「金像奬」封帝的劉青雲，早前已憑《神探大戰》中的演出獲封「香港電影導演會年度大獎—最佳男主角」，為其第三度奪取金像奬影帝殊榮打下強心針。黃秋生、張繼聰及麥沛東同是挾獎而來角逐——黃秋生於去年底以《白日青春》的士司機角色首度登上「金馬獎—最佳男主角」寶座；張繼聰在《窄路微塵》中飾演面對逆境仍處處助人的清潔公司老闆，也獲得「香港電影評論學會」頒發「最佳男主角」獎；麥沛東在《正義迴廊》中演繹一個智力稍低、涉嫌殺人分屍的疑凶，他投入的演出獲頒「第16屆亞洲電影大奬—最佳新演員」獎。楊偉倫在《正義迴廊》中飾演弒殺雙親並與同黨肢解遺體的殺人犯，首次在電影中擔正即告入圍「金像奬—最佳男主角」最後五強，他與原型人物的相似度，獲得昔日曾為事主辯護的資深大律師盛讚。

「最佳女主角」最後五強中有四位在戲中都是飾演母親角色，包括《阿媽有咗第二個》的毛舜筠、《流水落花》的鄭秀文、《窄路微塵》的袁澧林及《燈火闌珊》的張艾嘉；只有《正義迴廊》的蘇玉華是飾演為殺人嫌疑犯辯護的資深大律師，她在戲中展現出「大狀」的懾人氣魄，紮實演技成功為電影錦上添花。毛舜筠曾在第三十七屆金像獎憑《黃金花》戲中母親一角首奪影后，五年後在《阿媽有咗第二個》飾演曾捧紅多位巨星歌手的經理人，在告別職場相夫教子多年後重出江湖捧紅新偶像的女強人媽媽。鄭秀文在《流水落花》的角色則是一個經歷喪子之痛後成為寄養孩子的代母，她的優秀演出獲得「香港電影評論學會」及「香港電影導演會年度大獎」選為本年度「最佳女主角」。袁澧林在《窄路微塵》中演繹在疫情下面對失業困擾的年輕單親媽媽，突破的演出為她贏得去年「金馬獎—最佳女主角」的提名。張艾嘉飾演《燈火闌珊》中努力完成亡夫遺願製作霓虹燈招牌的賢妻，她在去年已憑出色的演技在「金馬獎」先拔頭籌奪得「最佳女主角」殊榮。

The 41st Hong Kong Film Awards, the annual cinematic gala for the local film industry, will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre on 16th April, 2023. The organizer, The Hong Kong Film Awards Association (HKFAA), released today the styling portraits of the nominees for “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” award categories.

The “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” awards for the Hong Kong Film Awards are the highly coveted honours among performers. For the “Best Actor” award this year, four graduates from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, namely Anthony WONG, Louis CHEUNG Kai Chung, YEUNG Wai Lun and MAK Pui Tung, are “laying siege” to Sean LAU, who was a trainee of television artist training class. LAU has won the “Best Actor” award twice at the 26th and 34th Hong Kong Film Award. His performance in Detective VS. Sleuths this year has already earned him the “Best Actor” title from the Hong Kong Film Directors’ Guild recently. This honour will surely help boost the chance of winning his third “Best Actor” trophy at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Anthony WONG, Louis CHEUNG Kai Chung and MAK Pui Tung are vying for the award as well. Anthony WONG was first crowned the “Best Leading Actor” at the Golden Horse Awards last year for his role as a taxi driver in The Sunny Side of the Street. Louis CHEUNG Kai Chung also received the “Best Actor” Award from the Hong Kong Film Critics Society for his portrayal of a cleaning company owner in The Narrow Road who still helps the needy amid adversity. MAK Pui Tung was awarded "Best New Performer” at the 16th Asian Film Awards for his dedicated performance as a mildly retarded murder suspect of dismembering the victim in The Sparring Partner. YEUNG Wai Lun, playing a murderer who killed his parents and dismembered their bodies in The Sparring Partner, which was his first leading role in a movie has earned himself debut nomination for “Best Actor” at the Hong Kong Film Awards. His striking resemblance to the character’s archetype was highly commended by the barrister who has defended the actual suspect.

Of the top five “Best Actress” award nominees, four of them played the role of a mother in their respective films, including Teresa MO in Mama’s Affair, Sammi CHENG in Lost Love, Angela YUEN in The Narrow Road and Sylvia CHANG in A Light Never Goes Out. The exception in this category is Louisa SO who acted as a barrister to defend a murder suspect in The Sparring Partner. Her impressive performance showcasing the commanding and powerful demeanour of a senior counsel has successfully added colours to the film. Teresa MO first won the “Best Actress” award at the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards for her role as a mother in Tomorrow is Another Day. Five years after in Mama’s Affair, MO took up the role of a strong and successful working mother, who, as a former star-making artist manager returned to the entertainment industry raising new idols after years of being a housewife.

In Lost Love, Sammi CHENG portrayed an adoptive mother who took in foster children after the sudden death of her young son. Her outstanding performance has won her “Best Actress” title from both the Hong Kong Film Critics Society and Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild this year. Angela YUEN acted as a young single mother struggling with unemployment during the pandemic in The Narrow Road. Her breakthrough performance has earned her a nomination for “Best Leading Actress” at the Golden Horse Awards last year. Sylvia CHANG in A Light Never Goes Out played a widow who was devasted by the loss of her skilled neon sign-making husband but strived hard to fulfil his dying wish through making neon signs. CHANG’s outstanding acting has won her the “Best Leading Actress” at Golden Horse Awards last year.

The 41st Hong Kong Film Awards is well supported and sponsored by various organizations, including Financial Supporter “Create Hong Kong” and “Film Development Fund”; Venue Sponsor “The Leisure and Cultural Services Department”; Official TV Production Partner and Broadcaster “ViuTV” and “MakerVille”; Official Limousine Sponsor “BMW”; Official Sponsor of Fragrances, Makeup and Skincare “Charlotte Tilbury”; Dazzling Sponsor “Puyi Optical”; English Magazine Partner “Tatler” and Chinese Magazine Partner “Vogue Hong Kong”.
