4 Oct - Many speculated that his drug scandal would end his career in the film industry, but now Taiwanese actor Kai Ko is proving that he is able to bounce back with a nomination at the Golden Horse Awards.

As reported on Sina News, the Taiwanese star, who is nominated in the Best Actor category alongside top stars such as Michael Hui and Jacky Cheung, recently took to Instagram to express his happiness with the news, saying, "Thank you Golden Horse for the nomination. Congratulations to "The Road to Mandalay" and all the other finalists. I will continue my effort to do the best."

"I hope to see everyone in the future," he added.

The actor, who is nominated for the aforementioned film, will be facing Hong Kong stars Jacky Cheung and Tony Leung Ka Fai, "Godspeed" actor Michael Hui, and "Mr. No Problem" star Fan Wei.

Meanwhile, Tony Leung, who is nominated for his role in "Cold War 2", stated that he will try his best to attend the ceremony even though it will be held on his busiest night.

Huawei 'super fans' fuming as left empty handed by $2,800 phone launch
SHENZHEN, China (Reuters) -Huawei and Apple's latest smartphones went on sale in China on Friday, with many fans of the Chinese company disappointed that its much-anticipated $2,800 model - more than twice the price of the iPhone 16 Pro Max - was not available for walk-in customers. At Huawei's flagship shop in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, some who described themselves as "super fans" were annoyed after being told only those whose pre-orders had been confirmed could buy the tri-foldable Mate XT. It was a similar story at the Huawei Wangfujing store in Beijing, where access to the much-hyped Mate XT - which folds three ways like an accordion screen door - was restricted to those whose pre-orders had been confirmed.
