Two discarded HKFA trophies found at waste management centre
Sharing the photo of the two trophies, Alex posted, "The Hong Kong Film Awards is the highest honour for each of us filmmakers. I also participated in the voting for the HKFA, but I saw the post from a Facebook friend saying that two discarded trophies were picked up at the transfer station."
Upon inspection, some netizens commented that the trophy on the left of the photo was the award for Best Costume for "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which was won by the late art director Bruce Yu.
Many took to the comments to share their thoughts, with one suggesting that Bruce's family might have thrown it away so not to feel sad seeing it following his passing.
Meanwhile, others said that the way it was discarded seemed to suggest otherwise.
However, most of them believe that everything happened for a reason and that the two trophies should be sent to an archive or a museum to be preserved.
Bruce, who was also a costume designer, passed away in 2022. He was a 23-time nominee and 4-time winner of the Hong Kong Film Award and had worked on films like "The Mermaid", "Mulan: Warrior Princess", "Yesterday Once More" and "The Four" among others.

Carnival Cruise Line rep confronts Celebration Key critics
Carnival Cruise Line rep confronts Celebration Key critics originally appeared on TravelHost. Carnival Cruise Line's new exclusive cruise destination on Grand Bahama Island, Celebration Key, has been generating a lot of buzz on social media — and not just because there seems to be an abundance of bees on the resort property. Whether they visited the destination during its opening days, are booked on upcoming cruises to the new port, or they post about trending cruise topics on social media, cruisers have much to say about Celebration brand ambassador, John Heald, who runs a very popular Facebook page, has been a vital source of information about Celebration Key and what visitors can expect during their cruises there. He's been eager for passengers to experience Celebration Key for themselves on many upcoming Carnival cruises, and also for them to ignore the cruise critics and inevitable complainers, who he calls Mr. and Mrs. Glitterknickers. Heald addressed those cruise critics in a July 23 post on his Facebook page. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter to save money on your next (or your first) cruise. Carnival Cruise Line rep challenges Celebration Key critics Heald began his post by assuring passengers that the many questions and concerns they raised to him about Celebration Key in the days since its opening are receiving the proper attention. 'I am checking on the pool floats and what you can bring to the resort,' he noted. 'And to the many who had some concerns about bees, I promise the island management are aware and are taking care of this accordingly.' Heald also confronted the criticism that's been circulating on social media about Celebration Key. 'There are those on social media who drive me and probably some of you absolutely bonkers. These [TikTokers] and [YouTubers] do not seem to understand this is not an out island, it's a private resort in Grand Bahama. We proudly employ 1500 Bahamians to serve you. Out islands, like Half Moon Cay, operate with ships' food and crew,' he brand ambassador also expressed his frustration with the many cruisers who have complained that Carnival doesn't include unlimited food with a visit to Celebration Key, comparing it other cruise lines' private islands, which typically serve a complimentary barbecue buffet-style lunch that's brought from the ship. Rather than enjoying as much lunch as they want, Carnival passengers visiting Celebration Key get a meal credit to redeem at one of the resort's food trucks and fast-casual dining venues. 'And a few have posted that 'one free meal is not enough.' Ummmmm, OK, but let me ask you this, Mr. and Mrs. Glitterknickers: When do you get meal credits when you go to Cozumel, or Grand Turk, or at any port of call,' Heald defended.

Many Carnival cruisers say Celebration Key exceeds expectations Despite what the cruise line's relentless critics have posted, many Carnival passengers who visited Celebration Key during its first days shared rave reviews. Heald highlighted a few of those in his Facebook post. The comments on most of the brand ambassador's recent posts about Celebration Key are full of passenger praise for the new Carnival cruise destination. 'We had an amazing day at Celebration Key on its opening day on the Vista! Everything was perfect —chairs, umbrellas, food, swing bar, pool and the workers could not have done more or been nicer,' Linda Sharpe D'Alessandro passengers noted that they were unsure about cruising to the destination thanks to social media critics, but Celebration Key won them over in a big way. 'I'm on the Glory right now. I was a little worried with all the negative Nancys out there, but Celebration Key exceeded my expectation. This is my new favorite place,' Leah MB commented on another Celebration Key post. The warmth of the Bahamian staff at Celebration Key has been a key theme in comments from visitors. The destination's opening invigorated and brought hundreds of jobs to Grand Bahama, an island that was devastated by Hurricane Dorian in 2019. 'It's really good to see this completed. I remember visiting Freeport six years ago and that hurricane just tore up so much of the island. I remember the locals saying how much the damage was. It affected them locally. So, to see the island prosper is great,' Vikki Shelton noted about Celebration Key's impact on Grand Bahama.(The Arena Group will earn a commission if you book a cruise.) , or email Amy Post at or call or text her at 386-383-2472.
