Both ends of the age spectrum shared the spotlight at last night's Hong Kong Film Awards, with Sir Run Run Shaw honoured for his 80-year contribution to the film business and 10-year-old Gouw Ian Iskandar picking up two awards.
Sir Run Run, who turns 100 in October, started in the film business at the age of 18 and has since produced and distributed more than 1,000 movies. His son collected the 'century achievement award' on Sir Run Run's behalf.
At the other end of the spectrum, Gouw stole the show from peers many years his senior by winning best new performer and best supporting actor. Clad in a pristine white suit, he was accompanied on stage by his mother to pick up his best new performer gong, but he braved the stage without her for his second one.
Gouw, who starred in After This Our Exile - which was the big winner of the night with five gongs - stole the hearts of the audience and media after accepting his first award, saying it was heavier than he had expected.
He said he preferred winning the Hong Kong Film Award to Taiwan's Golden Horse because the Hong Kong award was lighter.
He told the audience he had not expected to win and promised to 'work hard' in the future.
Asked by reporters what his plans were, the shy young man said he would buy a Wii game console and 10 video games. An hour later, after he had won his second award, he upped his video game wish list to 20.
