The awards’ winners will be announced in early December during a black-tie gala event in Hong Kong. The annual award ceremonies changed into virtual presentations in 2019 and 2020 during the city’s anti-government protests and under social-distancing rules during Hong Kong’s Covid-19 outbreak, but were restored last year as the pandemic eased.
