Wong Kar-wai’s martial-arts biography “The Grandmaster” made a near-sweep of the Hong Kong Film Awards on Sunday night, scooping up 12 trophies in the 14 categories it was nominated for, including best film and best director. Zhang Ziyi took home the prize for best actress and Zhang Jin won best supporting actor.
“The Grandmaster” tells the story of Ip Man, who taught the form of kung fu known as wing chun and counted Bruce Lee among his students. He was born in Foshan, China, in 1893 and died in Hong Kong in 1972.
William Chang won in three categories: film editing, art direction and costume and make-up design, while Philippe Le Sourd won for his cinematography. Messrs. Chang and Le Sourd had been nominated for Academy Awards for their work, although they didn’t win at last month’s Oscar ceremony.
