Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Awards

The Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild Awards (Chinese: 香港電影導演會年度大獎) is an annual Hong Kong film awards ceremony organized by the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild. It was established in 2006. The awards are presented at the Guild’s annual spring banquet, with winners selected through a one-person-one-vote system among all members. The Honorary Award, however, is only presented if it is endorsed by more than three-quarters of the members.

The list of award winners is typically announced in early March each year. Initially, the awards included only a few categories such as “Recommended Film of the Year,” “Outstanding Director of the Year,” and “New Performer of the Year.” Starting in 2013, the Guild shifted from its original focus on recommendation and encouragement to a more competitive model, introducing categories for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best New Performer, and Best New Director. Beginning in 2024, new categories for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were added.

Because the Guild’s membership closely overlaps with the voting body of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the awards are often seen as a bellwether to the annual Hong Kong Film Awards.
