Anthony Wong was proclaimed Best Actor for his stirring, eponymous role as Lord of Shanghai. This makes Wong a league of his own, becoming the first Hong Kong actor to bag acting awards in film, TV and theatre. Lord of Shanghai was also adjudged Best Drama.

Wong praised the people who worked with him and shared his win with these people.

"Every award ever won by an actor represents the hard efforts of many people," Anthony said. "It should be respected. I hope that many artists will continue to work hard for our honor!"

Nancy Wu, meanwhile, grabbed the Best Actress trophy for Ghost of Relativity, giving her the feat of being the first actress born in the 1980's to win the honor.

The 34-year-old star was emotional when she received her award.

"I wasn't expecting this at all! In my heart, Liza and Kristal have always been the best actresses," Wu said. "I really want to thank everyone for supporting me!"

This year's Most Popular Female Character was awarded to Kristal Tin, marking her second win after taking home the award in 2013 for Brother's Keeper.
