25th Hong Kong Film Awards in culture

The 25th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was modeled in a film My Name Is Fame (2006) with Faye Ng (played by Huo Siyan) as an announcer for the Best Supporting Actor category and Poon Ka-fai (by Lau Ching-wan) as one of its nominees. Lau Ching-wan won the Best (Leading) Actor category at the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards (the next year) for this exact role.
