"Warlords" leads Golden Horse nominations race

[Winfred]

HONG KONG – Peter Chan-helmed period actioner "The Warlords" leads the list of nominations for Taiwan's Golden Horse Film Awards.

Pic collected 12 nominations including best feature film, best director and best leading actor for star Jet Li.

Announcement was made Thursday by organizers of the 45th Golden Horse Film Festival

In a year of epic Chinese-language tentpole movies, however, the much anticipated $80 million John Woo-helmed epic, "Red Cliff," was surprisingly shut out of the major categories, garnering only four nominations in the supporting actor, visual effects, art direction and make-up/costume-design categories.

The Awards will be presented in Taiwan on Dec 6.

Congratulations to Jet Li (Warlords), Louis Koo (Run Papa Run), Hu Jun (Red Cliff) and Nora Miao (Run Papa Run) for their acting nominations!

Wow... In all the hype of so many films this year, I've forgotten about Warlords. I truly enjoyed this film, and all the performances, especially Jet Li's.
He has shown that his acting chops have developed quite respectively. This is a favorite of mine, and I hope he wins Best actor as well. Thanks for helping me remember this great film Winfred.
