中國內地確認:停播香港電影金像獎頒獎典禮

The broadcast of the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards Presentation Ceremony reportedly has been cancelled in the Chinese mainland after a politically sensitive film was nominated for Best Film.

根據近日的一則報道，第三十五屆香港電影金像獎頒獎典禮的內地轉播已經被取消，原因是一部有政治爭議性的電影被提名了最佳電影獎。

Derek Yee Tung Sing, chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Association, confirmed he had been informed that the ceremony will not be aired in the mainland, Hong Kong-based daily Ming Pao reported on Saturday.

據香港《明報》週六報道，香港電影金像獎協會主席爾冬升證實了他已獲悉頒獎典禮將不會在內地播出。

Some HK$5 million ($640,800) in broadcasting revenue stands to be lost if website - the designated mainland online broadcaster - reneges on the contract, according to Yee.

爾冬升透露，如果內地轉播網站取消合約，金像獎主辦方將失去約500萬港元（640800美元）的轉播費。

The organizer is funded by the Hong Kong government and does not face financial pressures, Yee said.

他還表示，由於有政府資助，主辦方不大會受資金問題影響。

"It would be a pity if the mainland audience cannot watch the ceremony," he said, noting that the presentation ceremony has received a total of 200 million views around the globe in the past, with the mainland serving as the main contributor of online views.

“如果因爲內地的觀衆不能收看到金像獎頒獎典禮，這會是一件非常可惜的事情，”爾冬升說。此外他還指出，在過去，金像獎在全球網上獲得了2億人次的瀏覽量，而其中貢獻最主要的瀏覽量的就是內地網絡用戶。
