LAST month Hollywood did it, now it's the turn of the Hongkong movie industry to pat itself on the back at the 12th Annual Hongkong Film Awards (ATV Home 9.30pm) being broadcast from the Lyric Theatre at the Academy of Performing Arts.
Big contenders this year include Once Upon a Time in China II, 92 Legendary La Rose Noire, King of Beggars, Cageman and Centre Stage - each have received several nominations including Best Film and Best Director.
Tony Leung Kar-fai (The Lover) is a favourite for Best Actor having received two nominations for his roles in 92 Legendary La Rose Noire and King of Chess, though he's staving off strong competition from the likes of Jackie Chan.
YOU'VE seen the film version - it's on in Hongkong at the moment - now watch the documentary. Alive: Miracle of the Andes (Pearl 8.35pm) relates the events of October 13, 1972, when a plane carrying a team of rugby players crashed into the Andes en route to Chile.
Members of the Montevidean college team who survived the initial impact then endured 10 weeks in freezing temperatures, eventually having to eat the flesh of their dead colleagues to stay alive.
Paramount made this documentary.
TAKE the satiric sci-fi adventure, They Live (World 9.30pm, Original Running Time 94 mins), with a humongous pinch of salt and it's surprisingly enjoyable.
