Nicholas Tse & Carina Lau Crown 'Best Actor' & 'Best Actress'

Sunday night must be unforgettable for Nicholas Tse and Carina Lau.

The 30th Hong Kong Film Awards was held last night (HK time) and it was broadcast by ATV. Nicholas Tse beat his seniors including Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung Kar-fai and crowned "Best Actor" with "Stool Pigeon." Wife Cecilia Cheung was emotional when she heard her husband won the award. While giving his acceptance speech, Nicholas thanked his father Patrick Tse.

"When I won 'Best Newcomer' at 18, I brought my award home and told my dad, 'You said you filmed hundres of dramas and films, but have you ever won a HK Film Award?' I know he is watching it tonight. I hope he forgives the impolite kid 12 years ago. Dad, you're the real 'Best Actor'!"

Nominated "Best Actress" 5 times already, Carina Lau finally won her first HK Film Awards "Best Actress." She calmly accepted the award on stage and happily gave her thank-you speech, thanking her husband especially.

"I'm happy to be nominated, but I'm used to losing every time I saw others win it. I was very calm in the beginning, but now I have this, I feel very excited and happy. It can be very happy actually! Haha! I really thank Tsui Hark for casting me to play Wu Zetian. And Andy Lau, Li Bin Bin and Deng Chao. They are very serious during filming. Also to my mom and husband (Tony Leung). He sent many messages to me today. I thank him for letting me do things I like to do these years. I know I could never catch up with you (Tony is a 5-time Best Actor winner), but I will slowly."

The climax at the award yesterday was when Chow Yun-fat talked on stage. As one of the "Best Actor" nominees this year, he openly supports Nicholas, praising he could be the winner tonight. Chow also teased TVB during his speech.

"I can't do this in another station, only here. The Film Awards have been doing this for 30 years. I must say a minute every year, say everything I want."

Tony Leung Buys Couple Jewelry to Make Wife Happy

Director Wong Kar Wai announced filming new film <一代宗师> in 2002, but it wasn't until last year that he began filming. Male lead Tony Leung Chiu Wai seems being fooled by his good friend. He didn't know when the film will be done filming, and often have to fly back and forth from Hong Kong to Mainland.

Tony's wife Carina Lau of course isn't too happy about it. Earlier when she promoted film <> in Beijing, she first said box office of <> definitely can't be better than <一代宗师>, then she pointed Wong is slow at making films, and may not get it done in time by New Year. It's known her sharp comments surprised Tony, but he doesn't want to offend his good friend nor wife, so he prepared some surprises to make Carina happy.

Tony returned HK recently and was photographed showing up at a jewelry store in Central. Tony didn't have time to pick the perfect gift that when the sales brought out a bracelet, he didn't look at the style closely and already told sales to wrap it. He didn't take 10 minutes to finish buying the gift. He had to go back to Beijing right away and it's believe he will have a short meeting with wife over there.

In fact, <一代宗师> held a press conference 8 years ago and Tony even went to learn Wing Chun from son of Ip Man, master of Wing Chun. However, many obstacles occurred. When the film finally started filming last year, Tony's left hand broke during practice and they had to delay filming. James Cameron took 10 years to finish Avatar, is Wong trying to break that record?

Carina Lau and Mainland Billionaire Are Secret Meeting?

 

Carina Lau and Tony Leung have been married for two years, after marriage the couple continued to be busy with their own jobs and often photographed by the media working separately at different events. For the last few years, the couple lived a life where both are busy with their own lives, but it was peaceful. However yesterday rumors broke out with an intimate photo of Carina and a Mainland billionaire arms on waist. Tony saw the photo and expressed that he does not know the man.

Carina has always been the Rumor Queen, for many years she has been rumored with several wealthy Hong Kong businessmen having a secret relationship, but she has not been affected by the rumors, continuing her many jobs in Mainland and other in areas. She continues to have good relationships with these wealthy businessmen.

Yesterday a tabloid magazine published an intimate photo of Carina with a Mainland billionaire's arm on her waist. In the photo, Carina was touching the billionaire's hand and had her face against his head, they were sitting closely together. The billionaire's arm was also wrapped around Carina's waist. From the photo, it looks like they are very familiar friends.

The magazine report said that the photo was taken mid-October last year. That day Carina was in Qingdao for the opening ceremony to one of the billionaire's Shanghai Carnival investments. She met the billionaire at that event and after the event ended, she accompanied him on their leisure time around the local area. That night, the two got familiar with each other and then had that intimate photo. Looks like Carina and Mainlanders have a lot of fate. June 2010, the magazines photographed Carina's secret meeting with the billionaire in Beijing, the two went out for dinner two nights in a row.

As Tony's wife, Carina remained in Hong Kong in the recent month. She did celebrate her birthday with him, but on their 2nd wedding anniversary, the couple spent it alone. Carina was not in Hong Kong to celebrate the anniversary. On the day of their anniversary, the media asked where Carina went and Tony expressed that he was not sure. If his wife was in Mainland, Tony only guessed that it was possible.

When reporters showed the photo of Carina and the billionaire, Tony refused to respond and had a sunk look. Then he broke the silence telling the media that he does not know him. Last night, Tony responded through his manager: "This is just normal social interaction, believe in Mrs. Lau."

According to sources, the billionaire is close to 39 years old and is named Jing Yuan. He has served in many different positions in Mainland. He started off his business in computers and recently developed his business in Mainland real estate. He operates several apartments in Beijing, Nanjing, Chengdu and many other cities in Mainland. His estimated assets are 16 billion yuan.
