Golden Horse Award Winners and what they have in common
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m not a big chaser of star photos, especially when said photo involves me actually standing next to them. Considering that I may have panned their latest movie, getting all chummy with celebs is something I’ve never been partial to.
That said, this year I did take pictures with two Chinese actors. The first one was with Nick Cheung.
Nick Cheung just won Best Actor at the Golden Horse Film Awards, but he had to share it with someone else. There was a tie, and the other winner was the world’s most awesome actor, Huang Bo.
Coincidentally, Huang Bo was the other actor I took a photo with this year.
What this means: to increase your chances - nay, to guarantee that you win an acting award, you should take a photo with me AND make sure that your competition doesn’t. Though who knows, maybe you can score a tie like these guys.
Seeing as how IP MAN 2 is coming this year, I think I may be able to help. Donnie, give me a call.
Just keep your shirt on.

Wow, you met Huang Bo? Pure awesome! He must be a fun person to hang out with.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Wait, I have taken a photo with Kozo before…where’s my award??? ;-P
As to the Donnie image above….let’s just say its a good thing that cosplay does not center around HK cinema.

So who’s Huang Bo exactly? He seems to be getting so much praise from Kozo.

Hi laicheukpan,
If you actually read this answer, which arrives 7 days after you wrote in, then I salute you.
I heap so much praise on Huang Bo partly to make fun of the fact that he’s a popular China star despite being unattractive. Then again, in China they also love Ge You and Guo Tao, so unattractive male stars are far from uncommon.
Huang Bo is a fine actor anyway, and well deserves his recent Golden Horse Award for COW. He’ll never replace Ekin Cheng as this site’s patron saint, but I really respect who he is and what he does. That is, aside from FIT LOVER.
