The 42nd Golden Horse Award (金马奖) just ended an hour ago, to be fair it’s one of their best show in recent years.
This year event was hosted by experienced Hu Gua (胡瓜) and Patty (侯佩岑), both are doing a fair job. Their mimic-kungfu-hustle drama performance at the interval of the show was worth an applause.

This year winners provided a happy ending to lots of the general public, for the reason that all (but one) who won the major awards are popular superstars.. the least well known is probably Yuan Chiu (元秋), whose kungfu apprentice was actually the master of Jacky Chan.
The overall quality of the chinese movies industry still has lots of rooms for improvement, no doubt we have good actors and actresses, and directors.. but we have really poor screen-writing. Overall we only have 3 or 4 films that is worth recommended this year, which is pity compared with the western movie industry.
Still a long way to go, and lets keep on going.
