Hong Kong Film Award and Actionfest Winners
A few events took place over the weekend, so I figured I’d cover the winners in categories related to martial arts films. We’ll start with the Hong Kong Film Awards, as they were the bigger event of the two. While A Simple Life won most of the awards, Wu Xia and Flying Swords of Dragon Gate did win a few awards.
