During an interview the day before, Andy Lau talked about the nominees for the Best Actress Award and choosed Karen Mok as the potential winner because it was him who invited Karen to be in the movie, . Because of his statement, a lot of Sammi fans were not satisfied at his professionalism. They are worried that he may influence the decision as the 2nd round of voting by the 50 professional judges begins. When contacted, the chairman of HKFA, Manfred Wong revealed that Andy Lau is not one of the 50 professional judges in the 2nd round of voting because of his nomination in the Best Actor Category. He was only entitled to a vote during the 1st round through the HK Artists Association and will have little effect on the final result. Both Andy Lau and Sammi also did not comment on this matter. Wallace (Sammi's Manager) who came out to clear the news on Sammi missing out on HKFA's photo shoot said that Sammi never promised HKFA to shoot the photos. However, he promised that Sammi will definitely be attending the 25th HKFA.
