Best Actor Louis Koo and Jessica Hsuan star in the film “A Step into the Past,” which had 11 nominations at the Hong Kong Film Awards on the evening of the 19th, yet failed to win a single prize. Before the ceremony, when asked whether there would be a celebration, Koo had joked, “We’ll celebrate if there’s no award (?)—and celebrate if there is!” The final result was that they didn’t win anything. Many netizens left messages saying they felt it was unfair to Louis Koo and the whole team, lamenting that they sat through the entire ceremony for nothing. Some even expressed their frustration with strong language!
As the public reaction was quite intense, Louis Koo specially posted an online message in response: “Everyone doesn't need to get so worked up! Whether or not we win an award really isn't that big of a deal. The most important thing is that you all like and support us! We’ll continue striving to make good movies!” Clearly, Louis Koo was not disappointed about going home empty-handed; instead, he consoled his fans, hoping everyone would “cool down” and not be too upset.
