Nominated: Best Original Film ScoreHONG KONG (AFP) — Chinese action star Jet Li was celebrating on Monday after being named best actor at the Hong Kong film awards with period drama "The Warlords," a departure from his usual martial arts fare.
Li beat out Hong Kong heart-throb Andy Lau for the coveted prize at a glittering ceremony late on Sunday.
"If I had not made a lot of kung fu films, I could have won the best actor award 20 years ago," said Li, 44, also known for "Fearless" and "Cradle 2 The Grave."
"The Warlords," set in wartime 19th century China and with an all-star cast, was the big winner at Sunday's glittering ceremony with eight awards including best film and best director for Peter Chan.
The film tells the story of three sworn brothers who are forced to turn against each other during the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty.
Li apologised for winning best actor ahead of Lau, who was nominated for two separate roles and also appeared in "The Warlords."
"I'm sorry. I've betrayed you brother!" he said, according to the South China Morning Post.
Hong Kong veteran Lau took best supporting actor for his performance in crime thriller "Protege," which also won best film editing.
