年度國際華語影壇盛事「第四十二屆香港電影金像奬」將於4月14日假香港文化中心舉行，主辦機構香港電影金像獎協會（大會）今日（21日）發放榮獲提名本屆「最佳導演」及「新晉導演」候選人的獨立造型照。

本屆金像奬入圍「最佳電影」包括《白日之下》、《年少日記》、《命案》、《金手指》及《毒舌大狀》，五部佳作的導演——《白日之下》的簡君晋、《年少日記》的卓亦謙、《命案》的鄭保瑞、《金手指》的莊文強及《毒舌大狀》的吳煒倫（次序依照提名名單排列）同獲提名「最佳導演」，簡君晋、卓亦謙及吳煒倫更同時入圍本屆「新晉導演」，將與執導《但願人長久》的祝紫嫣及執導《第八個嫌疑人》的李子俊競逐此項殊榮。

簡君晋自編自導的《白日之下》獲得本屆十六項金像獎提名，為各片之冠。此片改編自真人真事，經歷五年時間籌備及拍攝，將香港殘疾院舍監管問題與院友的非人生活呈現大銀幕。簡君晋除角逐「最佳導演」及「新晉導演」外，亦與此片的編劇拍檔唐翠萍及李卓風一起候選「最佳編劇」。

緊隨《白日之下》獲得本屆十二項金像獎提名的《年少日記》，導演卓亦謙以親身經歷友人的輕生事件，透過電影探討家庭生活壓迫和學生自殺等問題。他首執導演筒即憑藉此片在去年的台灣「金馬獎」捧回「最佳新導演」及「觀眾票選最佳影片」兩個獎座，再於剛舉行完畢的「第17屆亞洲電影大獎」和「2023年度香港電影導演會年度大獎」獲頒「最佳新導演」殊榮，連環獲獎為他角逐金像獎「最佳導演」及「新晉導演」打下強心針。卓亦謙在本屆亦同時獲提名「最佳編劇」，以及與剪接師陳曉進一起候選「最佳剪接」，個人合共獲得四項提名，是本屆候選者中之最。

吳煒倫同樣是首次執導便成為金像獎「雙料導演」候選人，本屆他同時入圍「最佳編劇」，個人共獲三項提名。他多年來以編劇身份參與電影創作，晉升導演後首部作品為自編自導的《毒舌大狀》。此片甫上畫即大收旺場，累計逾億港元收入，是香港電影史上首部突破億萬票房的港產鉅片。

相對於幾位新晉導演在金像奬初試啼聲，金像奬常客莊文強在過去二十屆已榮獲「新晉導演」及「最佳導演」獎各一次，並且三次取走「最佳編劇」獎座，成績斐然。今屆他憑有十二項提名、改編自八十年代最轟動貪污詐騙案的三億五千萬港元鉅製《金手指》第五度提名「最佳導演」及第十次角逐「最佳編劇」獎，聲勢奪人。

鄭保瑞以集合懸疑、驚悚及警匪元素的作品《命案》榮獲提名「最佳導演」，他在剛舉行的「2023年度香港電影導演會年度大獎」憑本片獲業界同行肯定頒發「最佳導演」獎，鄭保瑞如能在今屆金像奬再下一城，將會是他繼入圍第三十二屆及第四十屆金像獎後首度獲封為「最佳導演」。

The 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, the prestigious annual event in the international Chinese-language film industry, will be held on 14th April at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The Hong Kong Film Awards Association (HKFAA) released today the styling portraits of the award nominees for the "Best Director" and "Best New Director" categories.

The top five movies nominated for the "Best Film" title this year include "In Broad Daylight ", "Time Still Turns the Page ", "Mad Fate ", "Goldfinger", and "A Guilty Conscience". The directors of these five acclaimed works are Lawrence KAN, Nick CHEUK, Soi CHEANG, Felix CHONG and Jack NG, respectively, have all been nominated for the "Best Director" award. Lawrence KAN, Nick CHEUK and Jack NG are also shortlisted for the "Best New Director" category to compete with Sasha CHUK of “Fly Me to The Moon” and Jonathan LI of “Dust to Dust” for the honour.

Director and co-screenwriter Lawrence KAN’s film “In Broad Daylight” leads the race with sixteen nominations for the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards. The film, adapted from a true story, has taken five years long to prepare and shoot. It unveils the issues of inadequate supervision and inhumane living conditions in Hong Kong’s care homes for the elderly and disabled. In addition to running for the titles of “Best Director” and “Best New Director” for this film, KAN is also nominated for “Best Screenplay” award together with his scriptwriting partners TONG Chui Ping and LI Cheuk Fung.

Second to “In Broad Daylight”, Nick CHEUK’s film “Time Still Turns the Page” receives twelve nominations in this year’s award. Based on a friend's suicide incident that he personally experienced, he explores heavy subjects of familial oppression and student suicide tragedy through the film. As his directorial debut, this film already won him the "Best New Director" and "Audience Choice Award" in last year's Golden Horse Awards. He also garnered the "Best New Director" awards at the 17th Asian Film Awards and Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild recently. These recognitions have undoubtedly bolstered his confidence to contend for the "Best Director" and "Best New Director" titles at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards. CHEUK, who is also nominated for the "Best Screenplay" award and, together with his film editing partner CHAN Hiu Chun Keith, for the "Best Film Editing" award, tops the list with four individual nominations this year.  

Likewise, Jack NG also wins twin director nominations at this year’s award with his directorial debut. Together with the nomination for the "Best Screenplay" title, he earns a total of three individual nominations. Having worked as a screenwriter for many years, his first directorial film "A Guilty Conscience" is his co-written and directed work. This film has achieved tremendous success after its release, grossing over a hundred million Hong Kong dollars. It marks the first Hong Kong-produced blockbuster exceeding HK$100 million in the city's cinematic history.

In contrast to the new directors making their maiden appearances at the Hong Kong Film Awards, veteran director Felix CHONG has already taken home both one "Best New Director" award, one "Best Director" award and three "Best Screenplay" awards over the past two decades. He runs the race this year with his HK$350 million-production "Goldfinger", an adaptation of the infamous corruption and fraud scandal in the 1980s. This film garners 12 nominations including CHONG’s nomination for the "Best Director" title for the 5th time and the "Best Screenplay" award for the 10th time, making him a formidable contender.

Soi CHEANG receives a nomination for the "Best Director" for his suspense-thriller crime drama "Mad Fate ". This acclaimed film has already earned him the "Best Director" title at the recently held 2023 Hong Kong Film Directors’ Guild Awards. Should CHEANG succeed to clinch the directorial honour again, it would be his first time winning the "Best Director" after having been nominated in the 32nd and 40th editions of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards is 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 Broadcaster and TV Production Partner “HK Television Entertainment Company Limited (ViuTV)” and “MakerVille”, Dazzling Sponsor “Puyi Optical”, Million Tastes Sponsor “foodpanda Hong Kong”, Official Beer Sponsor “Blue Girl Beer”, Official Jewellery Sponsor “Chow Tai Fook Jewellery”, Official Limousine Sponsor “BMW”, Official Banking Sponsor “HSBC”; as well as Merchandise Partner “agnès b.” and “Moleskine”; Hotel Partner “Regent Hong Kong”; Official Media Partner “ELLE Hong Kong”, “Esquire Hong Kong” and “Style by SCMP”; Hair Styling Partner “GHD Good Hair Day”; Makeup Partner “Guerlain”, Post Production Partner “interface” and Advertising Partner “CVISION”.
