ADVERTISEMENT Kim Jee-won's "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" is up for eight awards in 13 categories, including best film and best director for Kim. Song Kang-ho, who won best actor at the 2007 awards, was nominated again, and co-stars Jung Woo-sung and Lee Byung-hun are contending for best supporting actor. Kim and Jung are scheduled to attend Monday's event, along with best director nominee John Woo, Japan's Masahiro Motoki, star of the Oscar best foreign film winner "Departures," and Chinese actresses Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, both nominated as best actress. Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra will receive The Nielsen Box Office Award presented by trade publication The Hollywood Reporter. "Platoon" director Stone will present the best director prize. It wasn't immediately clear which awards that Hurt and "The Last Emperor" star Joan Chen will give away. Retired Taiwanese actress Brigitte Lin will make a rare appearance to present the Outstanding Contribution to Asian Cinema to veteran Hong Kong director Tsui Hark and his wife, producer Nansun Shi. The winners were chosen by a panel of 13 judges chaired by former Bond girl Michelle Yeoh, who will also be on hand Monday. Also competing for best picture are Chen Kaige's Peking Opera biopic "Forever Enthralled," famed Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki's "Ponyo on the Cliff," Woo's Chinese historical epic "Red Cliff," the Japan-Netherlands-Hong Kong family drama "Tokyo Sonata" and Indonesia's "The Rainbow Troops." Woo and Miyazaki were also nominated for best director. The other nominees are China's Feng Xiaogang for the romance "If You Are the One," Japan's Hirokazu Koreeda for "Still Walking" and Brillante Mendoza for the Philippine movie "Service." In the best actor category, Song is competing against China's Ge You, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, South Korea's Ha Jung-woo and Japanese actors Motoki and Kenichi Matsuyama ("Detroit Metal City"). Kumar was nominated for "Singh is Kinng," a comedy about an Indian villager who travels to Australia to persuade a fellow villager-turned-gangster to return. Ha was named for the action thriller "The Chaser," about a serial killer on the run. Zhao and Zhou are competing in the best actress category against compatriot Jiang Wenli, Japan's Eri Fukatsu and Sayuri Yoshinaga and India's Deepika Padukone. Zhao starred in the ghost thriller "Painted Skin," Zhou played a taxi driver searching for her missing boyfriend in "The Equation of Love and Death" and Padukone appeared in "Chandni Chowk to China," about an Indian cook who travels to China.
