2024 Golden Horse Awards

Taipei, Nov. 23 (CNA) The 61st Golden Horse Awards ceremony kicked off at the Taipei Music Center at 7 p.m. on Saturday, celebrating achievements by filmmakers and the movie industry in the Chinese-speaking world.

The awards ceremony was hosted by Liu Kuan-ting (劉冠廷), who won Golden Horse Awards for Best Supporting Actor in 2019 for “A Sun” (陽光普照) and in 2021 for Treat or Trick (詭扯).

Hong Kong film veteran Patrick Tam (譚家明) chaired the jury this year. He is one of the prominent figures in the Hong Kong New Wave, a film movement that emerged in the late 1970s and lasted through the early 2000s, with notable works including “The Sword,” (名劍) which he directed.

Awards for 23 categories were handed out this year.

Taiwanese horror comedy "Dead Talents Society" (鬼才之道) led the nominations for the 61st Golden Horse Awards with 11 nods, including for Best Narrative Feature Film.
