Some people agree with Wong Jing, but thousands of comments refute the director. According to Sina , they think that Wong Jing is using morality to tie Tony Leung Chiu-wai down. The audience wrote: "Tony Leung Chiu-wai doesn't need the Hong Kong Film Awards now, but the Hong Kong Film Awards need Tony Leung Chiu-wai", "I don't agree with Wong Jing, awards are not for giving up, but for winning", "Strange, if you have talent, why don't you receive awards. Young people with talent should surpass him".

Carina Lau said that every time her husband won Best Actor, a part of the audience said "It's him again, why don't you give the opportunity to someone else".
