「第四十二屆香港電影金像奬」（金像奬）將於4月14日假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）今天（27日）特別發布榮獲提名本屆「最佳男、女主角」演員的獨立造型照。

本屆競逐「最佳男主角」殊榮的有林保怡、盧鎮業、梁朝偉、黃子華及大鵬（次序按電影的中文片名筆劃排名），可以說任何一位脫穎而出都別具意義。林保怡、盧鎮業、黃子華及大鵬均為首次挑戰「最佳男主角」寶座，若能奪獎都是個人的突破，而梁朝偉已曾五度封帝，今次如再度勝出，更是再創大會及個人的記錄。

林保怡在《白日之下》飾演在殘疾人士院舍內涉嫌性侵智障女院友的院長，此反派角色為他帶來入圍角逐去年「金馬獎」最佳男配角及本屆「金像獎」最佳男主角；梁朝偉在《金手指》中飾演香港有史以來最龐大金融詐騙案的主角，他演繹這個在股壇呼風喚雨、擅長操控股價的角色時，特意顯露他狂妄乖張的性格，有別於他一貫含蓄與低調的風格；盧鎮業在《年少日記》中則是一位老師，自小成長於嚴厲高壓的家庭，童年的創傷令他成為個性壓抑不擅表達自己感受的人。

在《毒舌大狀》黃子華飾演由裁判官轉職的大律師，因處理失誤導致客戶被判誤殺罪成及長期監禁，在為客戶翻案的一場法庭戲中，他一口氣說出從影以來最長篇的對白，節奏緊湊得令人透不過氣來；國內演員大鵬在《第八個嫌疑人》中飾演一名滿腹計謀的商人，電影故事橫跨二十年，他需演繹主角不同的時期，並以深沉內斂演出跟香港影帝林家棟充滿壓迫感的對決。

本屆「最佳女主角」無論是謝安琪、衛詩雅、余香凝、王丹妮或鍾雪瑩勝出，將會是首次榮膺「影后」殊榮。余香凝在《白日之下》中飾演一名為尋找真相不輕言放棄的偵查組記者，她假扮院友家屬潛入殘疾院舍採訪涉嫌虐待院友的事件。余香凝憑此角色於去年獲提名「金馬獎」最佳女主角，更在今年「香港電影評論學會」及剛舉行完畢的「香港電影導演會年度大獎」獲選為最佳女主角，此實有助增強其爭取首封金像獎影后的信心。鍾雪瑩同是在去年獲得「金馬獎」提名及本屆金像獎入圍最佳女主角的候選人。《填詞L》是本片導演兼編劇黃綺琳以個人經歷改编。片中鍾雪瑩傳神演繹女主角年少時如何千方百計成為填詞人的故事。

樂壇天后級人馬謝安琪首度獲得金像獎影后提名，她在音樂電影《4拍4家族》中飾演患有腦退化症的音樂人角色，備受生活壓力與複雜的家庭關係困擾，經常發脾氣罵人；戲裡戲外跟謝安琪同是母親身份的王丹妮，她在《毒舌大狀》片中既要面對失去女兒之痛，更被判誤殺罪成含冤入獄，這次是她繼兩年前在第四十屆金像奬後，再次入圍角逐「最佳女主角」；最後一位最佳女主角候選人衛詩雅，在喜劇《不日成婚2》中她要與丈夫面對從外國回歸的強勢家姑，當中的婆媳衝突引發不少笑料。

「金像奬」盛事氣氛日漸濃厚，大會特於今日(27日)起至4月19日期間，於商品合作伙伴agnès b.尖沙咀店內的藝廊舉辦聯乘展覽。會場中間擺設象徵香港電影金像獎的女神雕像，並展出本屆十位最佳男、女主角候選人的宣傳大相以及歷屆金像獎珍貴展品，包括早期的頒獎典禮場刊、嘉賓邀請柬以及結果揭曉封套等，參觀人士可以近距離拍照留念。

大會亦安排於4月8日至4月14日一連七天假香港文化中心地下展出榮獲本屆提名「最佳新演員」、「新晉導演」、「最佳導演」、「最佳男、女配角」、「最佳男、女主角」獎項的候選人，以及「終身成就獎」及「專業精神獎」得主特別為「第四十二屆香港電影金像奬」紀念特刊所拍攝的造型照，歡迎公眾及影迷親臨參觀「打卡」。

The 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA) is set to take place on 14th April, 2024 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. The organizer Hong Kong Film Awards Association (HKFAA) released today the styling portraits of this year’s nominees for the “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” Awards.

The five nominees running for this year’s “Best Actor” award includes Bowie LAM, LO Chun Yip, Tony LEUNG, Dayo WONG and Da Peng (listed in the order of the number of strokes of their respective Chinese film titles). Bowie LAM, LO Chun Yip, Dayo WONG and Da Peng are the first-time contenders for the top acting award title. Whoever wins the trophy, it would be a significant breakthrough in his performing careers. Tony LEUNG Chiu-wai having been crowned five times before, would set a new record for his personal achievements as well as in the history of the ceremony if he clinches the award again.

In the film “In Broad Daylight”, Bowie LAM portrays the warden of a residential care centre for the disabled, who is accused of sexually assaulting an underaged and mentally challenged resident. This role as an antagonist has earned him nominations for the “Best Supporting Actor” at last year’s Golden Horse Awards and for the “Best Actor” at this year’s Hong Kong Film Awards.

Tony LEUNG also acts as the protagonist in “The Goldfinger”, adapted from the largest financial fraud in the history of Hong Kong, who wields significant power in the stock market and excels in manipulating stock prices. LEUNG cast aside his usual restrained and understated acting style this time to deliberately showcase the character's arrogant and perverse personality.

LO Chun Yip is a teacher in “Time Still Turns the Pages” who grew up in a strict family under immense pressure. The childhood trauma he experienced has made him a person who suppresses his emotions and struggles to express himself.

In “A Guilty Conscience”, Dayo WONG plays a former barrister-turned-magistrate and then returns to private practice as a defense attorney. Due to his mistake, his client is wrongly convicted of manslaughter and is sentenced to a lengthy imprisonment. In a crucial courtroom scene that WONG fights to exonerate his client, he has to deliver a closing argument which is his longest monologue on the screen, leaving the audience breathless with the tense and pace created.

Mainland actor Da Peng plays a scheming businessman in “Dust to Dust”. The story spans two decades requiring him to present the changes of the protagonist throughout various time periods. His profound and reserved portrayal of the character creates a tense confrontation with the character plays by the renowned Hong Kong best actor winner LAM Ka Tung.

Regarding the five nominees for the “Best Actress” title this year, namely Kay TSE, Michelle WAI, Jennifer YU, Louise WONG and CHUNG Suet Ying, whoever wins will be her first time receiving this prestigious title.

In "In Broad Daylight" Jennifer YU takes up the role of a determined investigative journalist who works relentlessly in the pursuit of truth. She goes undercover as the close relative of a nursing home resident to investigate suspected abuse. Her outstanding performance has earned her a nomination for the “Best Leading Actress” at the Golden Horse Awards last year, and won her “Best Actress” titles at both the Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards and the recent Hong Kong Film Directors’ Guild Awards. All these recognitions surely help boost YU’s confidence in vying her first “Best Actress” trophy at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

CHUNG Suet Ying also received a nomination for “Best Leading Actress” at last year’s Golden Horse Awards and is a contender of the same award for this year’s Hong Kong Film Awards. “The Lyricist Wannabe” is adapted from the personal experience of the movie’s director and screenwriter Norris WONG. CHUNG’s performance is remarkable with her portrayal of the director’s tirelessly effort to becoming a lyricist during her youth.

Canton-pop star Kay TSE receives her debut nomination for the “Best Actress” at the Hong Kong Film Awards. In the musical film "Band Four" she plays a musician suffering from young-onset dementia, facing the challenges of both pressures in life and complicated family relationships. She often vents her frustrations by losing her temper and lashing out at others.

Also playing the role of a mother on and off-screen, Louise WONG acts as a single mother in “A Guilty Conscience” who has to cope with the pain of losing her daughter and endures the unjust imprisonment due to a wrongful conviction for manslaughter. This is her second-time nomination for the “Best Actress” title after her debut at the 40th Hong Kong Film Awards two years ago. Michelle WAI, the fifth contender for the “Best Actress” trophy, showcases her talent in the comedy “Ready O/R Rot” in which she is caught up in the conflict with her husband's forceful mother who returns from abroad. The clash between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law has produced many hilarious scenes of the movie.

The atmosphere for the prestigious Hong Kong Film Awards is gradually heating up. As the award presentation draws near, the HKFAA launches an exhibition in collaboration with agnès b., the merchandise partner of the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards. The event commences today until 19th April, 2024 at the gallery of agnès b. in Tsim Sha Tsui. While the goddess statue symbolizing the Hong Kong Film Awards is the centre-piece of the event, the styling portraits of the ten nominees for this year’s “Best Actor” and “Best Actress”, and some precious exhibits from the past Hong Kong Film Awards ceremonies including ceremony programs, guest invitation cards, result announcement envelopes, etc. are also displayed. Visitors can take close-up photos for keep-sakes.

HKFAA will also hold a special photo exhibition at the foyer exhibition area of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre from 8th to 14th April, 2024 to display the styling portraits of the nominees taken for the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards Booklet, including “Best New Performer”, “Best New Director”, “Best Director”, “Best Supporting Actor”, “Best Supporting Actress”, “Best Actor” and “Best Actress”, as well as the recipients of the “Lifetime Achievement Award” and “Professional Achievement Award”. The public and film enthusiasts are welcome to come visit and take pictures.
