The 2022 Hong Kong Film Award is almost here to announce its winners in various categories of filmmaking. This year, the HFKA will take place at Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Center on July 17.

In addition, online betting sites in Hong Kong always make predictions about the most possible winners in main nominations. Today, let’s take a look at the Best Picture category, its nominees, and favorites.

Hong Kong Film Awards: Best Picture Nominees

The 2022 Hong Kong Film Award announced its nominees for Best Picture last February. Five movies released between 2020 and 2021 have entered the list. Below are brief descriptions of all films from the HKFA list. 

• Zero to Hero. A sports drama by Jimmy Wan released in 2021. The film tells the story of Paralympian So Wa Wai from Hong Kong and her way to the top. As you might have guessed, this is based on a true story. 

• Limbo. Directed by Cheang Pou-soi and released in 2020, the film is an action thriller following cops investigating a series of murders but triggering a new series of crimes. It is based on the novel Wisdom Tooth by Lei Mi.

• Raging Fire. A 2021 action movie about two cops (Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse) confronting one another after a series of events. It is the last Benny Chan’s movie before his death in August 2020.

• Drifting. Another film is based on a true story that actually happened in 2012. Jun Li’s new picture follows the court case involving poor and homeless people struggling to survive in one of the poorest districts in Sham Shui Po. 

• Anita. Longman Leung’s biographical musical film is about the life and death of a famous Hong Kong actress and singer Anita Mui. Louise Wong played the lead role in the film that was released in 2021.

2022 Hong Kong Film Awards winner odds

With the Hong Kong Film Award ceremony coming this summer, it is time to decide who to root for. The bookies have made their decision and finalized the odds for the favorites in the Best Picture category. Below are the three main favorites, according to their odds.

Raging Fire is in the lead with 3.00 odds to win. Primarily, it has the best winning chances due to Benny Chan’s death on August 23, 2020. He was diagnosed with cancer while working on the film, so honoring him as the best director and Raging Fire as the best picture of the year would be a nice gesture. However, its average rates at some movie-related sites can play against the film at the HKFA 2022.

Drifting is a runner-up to win the main HKFA award, according to the bookies. With 3.50 odds at 22Bet, the film deals with serious issues that actually take place in Hong Kong every day. The award is a perfect way to gain attention to the problem of homelessness and poverty among certain groups of people. In addition, the film was warmly received by the audience; its rating on IMDB is 7/10 so far.

Cheang Pou-soi’s Limbo is the last favorite to win at the HKFA show on July 17, 2022. Its Hong Kong Film Awards winner odds are 3.60. Interestingly, Limbo has the highest critics and viewers reviews on websites like RottenTomatoes (83%) and IMDB (7.1/10). The film is this year’s leader with 14 nominations, so it is highly likely to win a couple of awards. Bet on the movie to take the award for Best Picture at betting sites like 22Bet and follow the show on July 17, 2022.
