H.K. action films dominate Taiwan Golden Horse noms
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Hong Kong action movies dominated the nominations for the 40th Golden Horse Awards, Taiwan's top film honors for Chinese-language films. Infernal Affairs was nominated in 12 categories, while another Hong Kong police-crime movie, PTU, received 11 nominations, the Golden Horse executive committee said Thursday. Directors Wai Keung Lau and Siu Fai Mak for Infernal Affairs and Johnnie To and Ka-fai Wai for PTU are expected to have a close battle for the awards, which are scheduled to take place Dec. 13. The four have been nominated in the best director category, and both films are in the running for best picture nods. Goodbye, Dragon Inn by Ming-liang Tsai, Taiwan's entry for a foreign-language film Oscar nomination, was chosen in five categories, while The Missing, a film by Tsai's disciple Kang-sheng Lee, took four.
