Veteran director Ann Hui's "A Simple Life" scooped five gongs for best film, director, screenplay, actor and actress at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards on Sunday, AFP reported.

"I would like to thank Hong Kong," Ann Hui said after grabbing the best director award. "I grew up here and I received my education here. This city has given me a lot of inspiration."

The best actor and best actress honor went to the film's lead characters played by Andy Lau and Deanie Ip.

Tsui Hark's 3-D extravaganza "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" led the race with 13 nominations and won five prizes.

It snapped up honors for best film editing, action choreography, art direction, sound design and visual effects.
