Starring in her first prominent film role in Keeper of Darkness <陀地驅魔人>, TVB actress Sisley Choi (蔡思貝) was nominated for the Best New Performer in the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards. Although delighted by the nomination, the 25-year-old actress remains modest over her chances to win the award. Stepping out of her comfort zone, Sisley expressed that she has never thought about winning an award at such an early stage in her acting career. Although she has only been with TVB for three years, Sisley managed to catch the attention of actor/ director Nick Cheung (張家輝) who cast her as a reporter whose body was taken over by a ghost. With her surprisingly refreshing performance, Sisley impressed the Hong Kong Film Awards nomination panel. Unsure of her chances in this year’s awards ceremony, Sisley said, “I won’t have high hopes. When I was competing in the [Miss Hong Kong] pageant, I just went with the flow. I’m already happy that I got nominated.” Competition from Jessie Li Sisley’s strongest competition comes from 23-year-old Mainland actress, Jessie Li (春夏), who is nominated for Best New Performer and Best Actress in the Hong Kong Film Awards. For her role in the critically acclaimed thriller Port of Call <踏血尋梅>, Jessie won three separate Best Actress awards at the 19th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival, 22nd Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards, and Hong Kong Film Directors’ Guild Awards. While Jessie has many years of experience in filming television dramas, Port of Call marks her breakthrough in film. Feeling grateful that she was given the opportunity to star alongside Aaron Kwok (郭富城), Jessie expressed, “He’s my senior and of course I respect him. Mr. Kwok is very nice and he doesn’t give off any arrogance at all. He said that actors shouldn’t limit themselves on what types of roles they should play, and that I shouldn’t put so much pressure on myself.” Port of Call is nominated for several categories in the Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor for Aaron Kwok.

if you suck at something, doesn't matter what, but you put in some time/effort in it, you will notice a big "improvement". the more you suck, the bigger the "improvement" will be. not impressed by these nominations. neither by her performances.
