    The rest it up to God. Lol!!

  2. my wish list to get the 51st golden horse awards:
    best actor-Sean Lau
    -that’s all- and wish the others best of luck!!!!!!!

  3. How come Huang Xiao Ming is not nominated for Best Actor in American Dreams in China? He should be nominated for Taiwan Golden Horse Award.

    1. But nick had a more challenging role and was the best actor in the white storm

      1. Totally agree. Nick gave the best performance by far in White Storm. He’s really quite “Unbeatable”. It’s been a long time since we’ve had an actor like him who pushes himself to the limits to bring realism to the roles played.

        A true professional. And absolutely versatile. Hope he makes movies for many more years.

  4. Their winning trophies has nothing to do with my life. They are not paying my bills every month!
