Despite being a favourite to win, Tony Leung Chiu Wai did not succeed in bringing home another Asian Film Awards accolade this year.
The actor, who was nominated for “The Goldfinger”, was bested by Japanese actor Koji Yakusho, who won in the category for his performance in the movie, “Perfect Days”.
However, despite winning the award, Yakusho did not attend the ceremony to accept his trophy himself.
It is noted that Japan won the most awards at this year’s event, with “Evil Does Not Exist” winning Best Film and Best Original Music, Hirokazu Koreeda winning Best Director for “Monster” and “Godzilla Minus One” winning Best Visual Effects and Best Sound.
