Confusion regarding 1987 awards as well as actresses Margaret Lee (Hong Kong actress) and Lee Din-Hing, both nominated for The Last Emperor[edit]

Among the five nominees in the 1987 Hong Kong Film Award competition entitled Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actress, two actresses — Elaine Kam [the ultimate winner] and Tsai Chin (actress) — were nominated for Love Unto Waste, two actresses — Margaret Lee (Hong Kong actress) and Lee Din-Hing — were nominated for the Academy-Award-winning Best Picture The Last Emperor and the fifth nomination went to Cher Yeung for Dream Lovers.

The confusion stems from the fact that under the Hong Kong Film Award#General rules, it is uncertain whether the Academy-Award-winning Best Picture The Last Emperor could even qualify as a Hong Kong film and, even if it could, it would still be a moot point since neither Margaret Lee (Hong Kong actress) nor Lee Din-Hing is listed under The Last Emperor#Cast.

Although unspecified in the introductory text, the likely possibility is that the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actress listed for the year 1987 [The Last Emperor premieres were held in October and November 1987] was actually for Hong Kong films released in 1986, with one title, listed in IMDb as Huo long, released in Hong Kong in March 1986 and in New York in October 1988, which has, as its English title, The Last Emperor or even Last Emperor: Pu Yi's Latter Life, being the apparent film that was submitted under the title The Last Emperor for the Hong Kong Film Award.

The uncertainty still remains, however, in that the cast list for Huo long, as presented in its IMDb entry does not list either Margaret Lee (Hong Kong actress) or Lee Din-Hing. Neither Huo long nor these two actresses have Wikipedia entries and despite, their Supporting Actress nominations, neither actress has even an IMDb entry under the name indicated in the nomination (IMDb has 14 entries for women named "Margaret Lee", but none seems to fit the specifications for the Award in question).

As of this writing, the sole interwiki link to English Wikipedia's entry delineating Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actress is the Chinese Wikipedia's entry, but Google Translate is of no help regarding name transliteration or other issues related to the questions at hand. Once we WP:ASSUMEGOODFAITH that there is no hoax at play, we can hopefully solve this puzzle.
