It has been 25 years since Hong Kong veteran actor Eric Tsang won his first and only best actor award at the 1992 Hong Kong Film Awards for 1991 film Alan And Eric: Between Hello And Goodbye.

Though the 63-year-old did win four other best supporting actor awards following that, he did not win another one as a lead actor until a week ago, when he snagged the Best Actor award at the Malaysia Golden Global Awards (MGGA) held on March 5 at Genting Highland’s Arena Of Stars.
