The 7th Asian Film Award will take place on March 18 at the Wanchai Convention center. Yesterday jury chair Andy Lau Tak Wa and others attended the press conference and announced nominees for the 14 awards. MYSTERY and NAMELESS GANGSTER: RULES OF THE TIME each received 6 nominations; Tony Leung Ka Fai with COLD WAR (HONG JIN) was nominated for Best Actor, along with NAMELESS GANGSTER's newly crowned Blue Dragon Best Actor Choi Min-Sik, GF*BF's Joseph Chang Hau Chuen and THE LAST SUPPER (WONG DIK SING YIN)'s Liu Ye. GF*BF's Golden Horse and Asia Pacific Film Festival Best Actress Kwai Lun-Mei will vie for Best Actress with PIETA's Grand Bell Best Actress Jo Min-Su.

Korean director Kim Ki-Duk with PIETA was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture. The film won the 69th Venice Film Festival Best Picture. This year Hong Kong film is weaker, without any Best Picture and Best Director nomination. However, Chapman To Man Jat who just won the Hong Kong Film Critic Society Best Actor award with DIVA was "demoted" to the Best Supporting Actor category. Gianna Jun Ji-Hyun and Kim Hye-Soo both received Best Supporting Actress nominations with THE THIEVES. This year two special awards 2012 Highest Box Office Asian Film Award and Excellent Asian Filmmaker award were established.

Leung Ka Fai was nominated for Best Actor with COLD WAR, due to the film being a critical and commercial hit and viewers all praised Ka Fai's outstanding acting he was the favorite; however, Ka Fai said that he did not care whether he would win or not. If he would be in Hong Kong he definitely would attend. THE LAST SUPPER's Liu Ye was very happy to be nominated because the film to him was very meaningful; as an actor this film was one that he could look back at at age 60 or 70. To Man Jat with DIVA was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. He did not mind being the Supporting Actor, instead he was happy to receive good news so soon and he hoped to garner glory for Hong Kong.

This was Lau Tak Wa's second time as a jury chair, earlier he served for the Golden Horse Award. Wa Jai said that with the experience last time, this time he would be more relaxed. He was not worried that watching movies at home would affect his daughter because his home had a lot of space. He had a lot of space to watch movies. This year Hong Kong film was very weak as only Leung Ka Fai was nominated for Best Actor. Wa Jai said, "Work harder next year, rises and falls are constant." As for the Chief Executive policy report's "first feature film project", Wa Jai felt it was a contest. A new director would not be enough to support the entire film industry, which would require more people to work together; he and Edko boss Bill Kong Chi Keung have always been working toward that goal, now their collaboration FUNG BO (STORM) would use a new director. The film had 80 scenes and over 60 have been shot. It will be completed before the Lunar New Year.
