國際華語影壇盛事「第四十一屆香港電影金像奬」定於4月16日在香港文化中心隆重舉行。主辦機構「香港電影金像奬協會」（大會）為誌盛事而編印紀念特刊，邀得「最佳導演」、「最佳男、女主角」、「最佳男、女配角」、「最佳新演員」及「新晉導演」提名人拍攝造型照。大會今天（16日）率先發布四位「最佳新演員」提名人呂爵安、柳應廷、周漢寧及林諾的獨立造型照，並公布特刊今年特設網上預售，公眾可透過此連結訂購。特刊將於四月初頒獎禮舉行前出版，安排於指定書店及戲院發售，詳情有待公布。

去年香港電影界新星湧現，在多齣叫好叫座港產片中均有卓越表現。人氣男團MIRROR成員呂爵安在喜劇《闔家辣》及劇情片《過時‧過節》的演出同獲評審肯定，個人獨攬兩個「最佳新演員」提名。他表示雖然在兩齣電影都是飾演兒子，但兩個角色的性格截然不同。《闔家辣》為其初登大銀幕之作，是在嘗試與摸索下演出；而繼後在《過時‧過節》中飾演與父親鬧翻憤而離家出走的兒子，需要演繹複雜情感，對演戲經驗尚淺的他而言是個大挑戰。

另一MIRROR成員柳應廷繼去年以主唱者身份獲得「最佳原創電影歌曲」提名後，本屆憑藉參演《阿媽有咗第二個》角逐「最佳新演員」獎項。以音樂發展為事業主軸的他，首次拍攝電影即需要飾演一個認真及自我的高材生，直言與本身的開心、輕鬆性格有很大的分別。

有別於兩位「鏡仔」對手，周漢寧曾受正式演藝訓練，是學院派出身的演員。他在《燈火闌珊》中飾演製作霓虹光管學徒，欠缺家人關懷，生活窮困並需要寄居於24小時營業的快餐店內。是次入圍「最佳新演員」，周漢寧特別感謝女主角張艾嘉在演技上的指導及交流，給予他很大的發揮空間。

最後一位提名人林諾是「香港電影金像奬」歷史上首位獲得提名的南亞裔演員。他拍攝《白日青春》時雖然只得十歲，但這位巴基斯坦素人男孩在片中與影帝級人馬黃秋生演對手戲時毫不怯場，演技自然流露，他在去年已憑此片獲得「金馬獎」「最佳新演員」提名。

「最佳新演員」獎項連同其他十八個大獎的結果將於4月16日在「第四十一屆香港電影金像奬」頒獎典禮中揭曉。當晚頒獎典禮節目將繼續由「香港盲人輔導會」及「香港手語來自聾星」為視障、聾人及有需要人士分別提供口述影像及手語傳譯服務，讓他們可以無障礙地欣賞本港電影界的年度盛事，即時領略得獎者的感受和喜悅。

The 41st Hong Kong Film Awards, the renowned international Chinese-language film industry event will be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre on 16th April, 2023. The organizer, Hong Kong Film Awards Association (HKFAA) will publish a special booklet to mark the event. HKFAA has invited the award nominees of the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards, including “Best Director”, “Best Actor and Actress”, “Best Supporting Actor and Actress”, “Best New Performer” and “Best New Director” to participate in the portraits shooting session. Today, HKFAA released the styling portraits of the four "Best New Performer" nominees, namely Edan LUI, Jer LAU, Henick CHOU and Sahal ZAMAN; and announced this year’s special booklets are now available for pre-ordering online. Members of public can place orders via this link. The published booklets will be issued in early April before the awards ceremony and will be sold at designated bookstores and theaters, while the selling details are to be further announced.

Quite a number of new talents emerged in the Hong Kong film industry last year. They all performed well in various local films that boasted good audience feedback and handsome box office records. Edan LUI, a member of the popular boy band MIRROR, was affirmed by judges for his performance in the comedy Chilli Laugh Story and the drama film Hong Kong Family that won him twin nominations for the “Best New Performer” award. Lui said that although he played son in both films, the personalities of these two characters are completely different. Lui remarked that it was a continual trial and exploring attempt when acting for Chilli Laugh Story, his debut on the big screen. In his second film Hong Kong Family, as an inexperienced actor, playing the son who ran away from home after a big quarrel with his father was a big challenge to him because of the complex emotions involved.

Another member of MIRROR, Jer LAU, who was nominated for "Best Original Film Song" as a lead singer last year, contends for the "Best New Performer" award this year for his participation in Mama’s Affair. With music as the main axis of his career development, he performed an outstanding student with serious and self-centered character in his first film which he mentioned was a big contrast to his own cheerful and relaxed personality.

Unlike the two MIRROR competitors, Henick CHOU has received formal acting training. In A Light Never Goes Out, he acted as a neon sign-making apprentice who lacks family care, lives in poverty and has to stay overnight in a 24-hour fast-food restaurant. For this “Best New Performer” nomination, Henick CHOU is particularly grateful to the film leading actress Sylvia CHANG for her guidance in and sharing of acting skills, giving him rooms to unleash his potential.

The last nominee Sahal ZAMAN is the first ever South Asian actor nominated in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards. He was only ten years old when he filmed The Sunny Side of the Street. This Pakistani novice boy displayed authentic emotions and showed no fright when acting with veteran actor Anthony WONG. His brilliant performance already earned him a nomination for the "Best New Performer" award at the Golden Horse Awards earlier in 2022.

The results of the "Best New Performer" Award together with the winners of the other 18 competitive awards categories will be announced at the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards presentation ceremony on 16th April. HKFAA announced that audio description and sign-language interpretation services provided by the Hong Kong Society for the Blind and HKSL From Deaf Star, respectively will be available for the programme of the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards for another year. Both services enable the visually and hearing impaired and those in need can enjoy the presentation ceremony without barriers, and, to share the joy and heartfelt emotions of the award winners in real time.

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”.
