The 35th Hong Kong Film Awards presentation ceremony took place in Hong Kong Cultural Centre on 3 April 2016. The host of the awards ceremony was Sean Lau.^[1] Due to the fact that the dystopian film Ten Years, seen to be critical of China's influence over Hong Kong, was nominated for best picture in the awards, the state-owned China Central Television did not air the program as it had previously for every year since 1991. The Chinese government was reported to have ordered the state broadcaster not to broadcast the ceremony.^[2]
