Chinese actress Gong Li called Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Festival unprofessional after she lost the best actress category to Taiwanese actress Chen Shiang Chyi.

In a statement via her manager Monday, Gong questioned the awards' impartiality and said an "unfair" festival would be looked down upon in the film industry.

Speaking to The Associated Press, Gong's manager Christophe Tseng said her criticism wasn't aimed at a particular award category or any individual, rather, she wanted to bring attention to the voting process.

At the Golden Horse festival, the jurors who select the nominees are asked back for the final vote. Together, the two panels choose for the winners. Tseng said that his client doesn't understand why the nominating panel is invited to vote for the winners.

The festival executive committee responded in a statement that the "judging process and the result of the Golden Horse has always been independent and fair. It is not influenced by any external factor ..."

The jury president, Chinese actress Joan Chen, said it's inevitable someone will think any festival's awards results are unfair and the Golden Horse is no exception. Chen called the judging process "transparent and democratic" and not interfered with or influenced by others.

Edit: 

she also said "but I will not be coming back to the festival in the future, because there would be no point to that at all. This will be my first time at the Golden Horse Awards, and my last."

 

AND it is rumored that Joan Chen and Gong Li hate each other lol

I haven't seen all the performances, so I won't comment on this.

 

Besides, the panel members are selecting who they think deserves the award. Of course they will be some subjectivity.

But its the same whether its voted by a panel or voted by a audience, theres not much she can complain about. Im sure the winner thinks she deserved it too.

 

I dont think awards even matter that much. At the end of the day, the work will speak for itself. One more or less award wont change the great work Gong Li has done in her career.

 

Who knows if the story is even true anyway lol.

Idk if Gong Li is actually bitter, but this "statement" is from AP 

 

And I totally agree that Gong Li's work already speaks for itself. Gong Li is like the most talented actress in China. I guess she just wants the award because it is one of the more prestigious awards for Chinese movies, and all her peers already have them... like Maggie Cheung, Joan Chen, Li Bingbing, Shu Qi, etc. Even Zhang Ziyi got one last year I think for The Grandmaster. 

 

Anyways, I heard Coming Home got overall mediocre reviews. I hope she makes some better movies since her last noteworthy movie was the Curse of the Golden Flower, which was awhile back already.

Yeah, I'm just saying there's no quotes from her directly. But she didn't deny it either so I guess theres some fire behind the smoke.

 

Most talented...hmm..that's a big thing to say. I prefer Zhou Xun.
