香港電影「桃姐」橫掃了今年多項獎項。在戲劇類獲得了最佳導演、最佳男主角、最佳女主角獎，分別由許鞍華，劉德華和葉德嫻獲獎。

The coveted best film award, however, went to Taiwan’s celebrated - and controversial - historical feature “Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale”, which touches on of the bloodiest episodes in the island’s colonial history.

然而，令人垂涎的最佳影片獎，由台灣著名的、具爭議性的歷史片「賽德克‧巴萊」獲獎。該片觸及了島上殖民歷史最血腥的事件。
