The Bullet Vanishes 消失的子彈 (pictured), and Cold War 冷戰 (2000) grabbed the lion's share of nominations for the Hong Kong Film Awards. The Silent War 聽風者 and The Viral Factor 逆戰 were close behind.

Bullet Vanishes claimed 12 nominations, Cold War 11, Silent War 8 and Viral Factor 7. Also not far off were Vulgaria 低俗喜劇 and Motorway 車手, with six each.

Best film nominations were bestowed on Vulgaria, Motorway, Bullet, Viral Factor and Cold War.

There were personal triumphs for ZHOU Xun 周迅, who collected two nominations for best actress in The Great Magician 大魔術師 and Silent War, and for writer-director PANG Ho-cheung 彭浩翔, who earned six nominations for Vulgaria and a further three for Love in the Buff 春嬌與志明.
