Malaysian actress Yeo Yann Yann won the Best Actress award at last Saturday's Golden Horse Awards in Taiwan, for her role in Singaporean director Anthony Chen's Wet Season, in which she plays a teacher struggling with infertility and a loveless marriage.
Yeo, who had previously won the Best Supporting Actress award in 2013 for Ilo Ilo (also directed by Chen), beat another Malaysian actress to the gong – Lee Sinje, who had been nominated for her role in The Garden Of Evening Mists.
Co-produced by Malaysia's Astro Shaw and HBO Asia and based on Tan Twan Eng's best-selling novel of the same name, The Garden Of Evening Mists, had been nominated for nine awards, but only managed one win, in the Best Makeup and Costume Design category.
Another Malaysian co-produced film, Nina Wu, won for Best Sound Effects, while longtime Taiwan-based Malaysian-born director Tsai Ming-liang won Best Documentary for Your Face.
Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards are among the most prestigious film awards in the world of Chinese language cinema. Established in 1962, the awards have given recognition to numerous excellent filmmakers working in Chinese-language cinema.
