Absence of China is a 'loss' at this year's Golden Horse Awards, director Ang Lee says, after Beijing ordered a boycott following controversy last year
Taiwanese director Ang Lee poses on the red carpet at the 56th Golden Horse Awards in Taipei, Taiwan, Saturday, Nov. 23, 2019.
"This is not easy to comment on, everyone knows that. Of course it is a loss, which can be seen on the red carpet or in the works participating in the film festival," said Taiwan-born Oscar-winner Lee, who is the festival's chairman. Taiwanese director Chung Mong-hong's family drama "A Sun" and fellow Taiwanese director John Hsu's psychological horror "Detention" were the biggest winners on Saturday night, in a ceremony largely devoid of politics.
