The Grandmaster Wong Kar-wai new film took 12 Hong Kong Film Awards including awards for Best Film, Best Director, and for Best Actress.
The film, The Grandmaster was inspired by Bruce Lee’s mentor, Ip Man.
It was Director Wong Kar-wa’s third best director award.
“I am very proud to be part of Hong Kong’s cinema industry. I also owe my success to my crew members. Without their contribution, the film couldn’t have been so successful,” he said.
