The Hong Kong Film Awards (HKFA), commonly known as the Golden Horse Awards, are the most prestigious film awards in Hong Kong. They are presented annually by the Hong Kong Film Producers Guild, and honour achievements in filmmaking in Hong Kong. The ceremony is held in March or April, and is one of the most-watched events in Hong Kong.
The first HKFAs were held in 1994, and have been presented annually since then. The awards are open to all films produced in Hong Kong, regardless of their budget or language. The awards are divided into two categories: Technical Awards and Artistic Awards. The Technical Awards are presented for achievements in technical areas of filmmaking, such as cinematography, editing, and sound design. The Artistic Awards are presented for achievements in artistic areas of filmmaking, such as directing, acting, and writing.
The HKFAs are considered the most prestigious film awards in Hong Kong, and are often referred to as the "Hong Kong Oscars." The awards have been won by some of the most famous filmmakers in Hong Kong, including Wong Kar-wai, Tsui Hark, and Ann Hui. The awards have also been won by some of the most famous actors in Hong Kong, including Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, and Maggie Cheung.
The HKFAs are a major event in the Hong Kong film industry, and are often used as a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work and promote their films. The awards are also used to raise money for the Hong Kong Film Development Council, which supports the development of the Hong Kong film industry.
