Los Angeles Times’ list for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and… well, just about everything else.
While we still have a few weeks to go until the news of Zhao’s nominations are confirmed, it got us thinking about the history of Chinese filmmakers and their impact on the coveted awards ceremony. Without a doubt, China’s largest sweep of the Oscars occurred in 2000 with the release of Ang Lee, William Kong, and Hsu Li-Kong’s groundbreaking
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The film was nominated for a whopping six awards, including a couple of firsts such as Wang Hui-ling and Kuo Jung Tsai’s nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, the first Asian-language screenplay nominated in a writing category, and Timmy Yip’s win for Best Production Design, which made him the first Asian to win in the category.

Taipei, Jan. 8 (CNA) Two of the top Peking opera actors in Taiwan, Wu Hsing-kuo (吳興國) and Wei Hai-min (魏海敏), are set to perform their 1994 adaptation of the Greek tragedy Medea in Taipei from Friday, according to the Contemporary Legend Theatre.
Wu, a co-founder of the group, who directed and plays the role of Jason in the play, said during a press conference on Thursday that he and his fellow Peking opera actors were experimenting in the hope of creating something new beyond Peking opera.
