ANITA Yuen Wing-yee last night made history at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards by winning the Best Actress title for the second time in a row for her role as a woman masquerading as a male singer in He's A Woman, She's a Man.

She won last year for C'est La Vie Mon Cherie.

In a glittering affair at the Academy for Performing Arts in Wan Chai, Tony Leung Chiu-wai repeated his Golden Horse win by collecting the Best Actor award for his role in Chungking Express, which also won Best Director for Wong Kar-wai and Best Movie.

Enigmatic art director William Chang Suk-ping put in a rare appearance to collect three awards. Cheng took the best costume and make-up design and best art direction awards for Ashes of Time.

He also collected the best film editing award for Chungking Express.

The ceremony's rollcall included kung fu superstar Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Liao Xiao-qing, Dodo Cheng and Veronica Yip.
