Action thriller Limbo and Anita, a biopic about the late Canto-pop queen Anita Mui lead the nomination race for this year's Hong Kong Film Awards, which is holding its 40th edition after being postponed from last year.

Limbo, a Cantonese noir that follows a cop duo's hunt for a serial killer, received 14 nominations including best film, best director for Soi Cheang, best screenplay, best actor for Lam Ka Tung and best actress for Cya Liu. The film had earlier won the critics heart at the annual Hong Kong Film Critics' Society Awards, which named Limbo as best film and Liu best actress for her role as a young addict.
