Ziyi was visibly emotional and teared up while receiving her award on stage. Besides thanking her co-star, Tony Leung, she also dedicated her win to Wong Kar Wai.

“After filming for three years, there were many life experiences and many tears were shed. I tripped a little along the way, but there will always be someone who will help you up and move on. This person is Wong Kar Wai,” said an emotional Ziyi on stage.

Best Actor award went to Nick Cheung for his performance in boxing film Unbeatable <激戰>. After his win, Nick said, “My competitors are very strong this time. All the nominees are my good friends, and it made me a little uncomfortable during the competition. However, everyone is very mature and gracious. The uncomfortable feeling never happens at all.”

Yes! my lifetime happiness depends on her. I grumbled to her before, saying that ‘you are the only one in this world who appreciate me’.
