Winners of 2021 Golden Broom Awards announced, only one winner shows up
For any film industry professional, there s no greater honor than winning a coveted award. In China specifically, actors and directors dream of taking home the holy trinity that is a Golden Rooster (Chinese mainland), Golden Horse (Taiwan), and Golden Lady (Hong Kong). Unfortunately, however, not all awards are created equal. Just ask the recipients of China s dreaded Golden Broom.
The 金扫帚奖
jīn sǎo zhǒu jiǎng Golden Broom Awards
– akin to the Golden Raspberry Awards in the States – is something of a joke award given to films that performed particularly badly in the previous year. Its inaugural event was held in 2009 in Beijing, and four categories including Most Disappointing Film, the Most Disappointing Director, and Most Disappointing Actor and Actress in a Leading Role, were presented, complete with a ridiculous broom-shaped trophy.
