'Warlords' wins best film at Chinese Oscars
By MIN LEE,AP Entertainment Writer AP - 2 hours 8 minutes ago
TAICHUNG, Taiwan - Peter Chan's epic about three Chinese mercenaries in 19th century China won best film at the Chinese-language equivalent of the Oscars on Saturday, dashing hopes of a home triumph for the surprise Taiwanese hit "Cape No. 7."
"The Warlords" also won Chan the best director award at Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards announced in the central city of Taichung.
China's Zhang Hanyu won best actor for his role in the war movie "Assembly."
Veteran Hong Kong singer Prudence Liew was named best actress for playing a sex worker in "True Women for Sale."
The results were disappointing for local fans rooting for "Cape No. 7," Taiwan's most successful movie in years and its second best box-office earner of all time behind the Hollywood film "Titanic."
But "Cape No. 7" and other Taiwanese films won a slew of other awards, including both supporting acting prizes, signaling the renaissance of the local industry.
