The 19th Golden Rooster Hundred Flowers Film Festival and 30th People's Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony took place in Jiangsui last night. Actors Chen Kun and Vicki Zhao crowned "Best Actor" and "Best Actress" with films "Painted Skin" and "Mulan."
Zhao already won 3 "Best Actress" awards with her film "Mulan" prior to yesterday's award ceremony. She thanked viewers for supporting her for the past 11 years and her tears dropped as she continued her thanking speech. Zhao's good friend Chen won "Best Actor" over veteran actor Zhang Guoli by 1 vote, but he believes Zhang should have won. It was also Chen's first time publicly thanking his 8-year-old son for supporting him.
It was a starry scene at the awards ceremony last night. Famous actors and actresses from Mainland and Hong Kong attended as guests, including Ziyi Zhang, Tony Leung Ka Fai, Christy Chung, Simon Yam, and Anita Yuen.
