NSTgroove The night’s biggest winner was Taiwanese director Chung Mong-hong’s “A Sun,” which scooped best picture, best director, best actor, best supporting actor and best editing awards.
Dubbed the Chinese-language “Oscars,” Golden Horse got into trouble with Beijing after a Taiwanese director called for the island’s independence in an acceptance speech at last year’s ceremony.
In another move likely to annoy Beijing, Taiwanese composer Lu Lu-ming on Saturday voiced support for Hong Kong’s pro-democracy protests, dedicating his best original film song to “Hong Kongers who insist on ideals, and may you live safely and freely.” Singapore-based Malaysian Yeo Yann-Yann was crowned best actress for playing a married teacher struggling with family and work woes who develops a forbidden relationship with a male pupil in the Singaporean drama “Wet Season.”
Also on Saturday, China kicked off its top biannual films fest Golden Rooster Awards featuring some of the best known Chinese-language cinematic talents.
