China Leads Asia Pacific Screen Awards Nominations1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteFilms from 22 countries will be represented at the awards but while the likes of India, Japan and Russia have picked up a handful of nods, Chinese films have more than double that of any other country with 13 nominations across seven features.
Wang Xiaoshuai‘s family drama So Long, My Son has secured a record six nominations, including best feature where it will be up against Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (Korea), Kantemir Balagov’s Beanpole (Russia), Pema Tseden’s Balloon (China) and Ridham Janve’s The Gold-Laden Sheep and The Sacred Mountain (India).
The best feature category marks the sole nomination for Parasite, which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and is considered a strong contender for the Oscars.
