51st Daejong Film Festival Awards 2014

And the winners are.... there are so many to be named. I will name a few which are worth while to be named and mentioned in this post (my personal opinion).
대종상 영화제 also known as Grand Bell Awards to locals is a ceremony presented annually by The Motion Pictures Association of Korea for excellence in film in South Korea. It is considered to be Korea's "American's Academy Awards".
The glitz and glamarous fashion on the red carpet attract the attention of the media on the night of the ceremony.

This year the winners are:

Best Film: The Admiral: Roaring Currents
Best Director: Kim Seong Hun- The Hard Day
Best Actor: Choi Min Sik- The Admiral: Roaring Currents
Best Actress: Sohn Yeh Jin- The Pirates
Best Supporting Actor: Yoo Hae Jin- The Pirates
Best Supporting Actress: Kim Young Ae - The Attorney
Best New Director: Yang Woo Suk- The Attorney
Best New Actor: Park Yoo Chun- Sea Fog
Best New Actress: Lim Ji Yeon- Obsessed
Best Screenplay: The Attorney
Popularity Award: Im Si Wan (Attorney), Kim Woo Bin( Friends 2), 
                                 Honey Lee (Tazza 2)

Actress Sohn Yeh Jin has bagged the Best Actress for this year while Choi Min Sik took the Best Actor award. I must say this year is a successful year for JYJ members- Jaejoong winning the Korea Drama Awards for his role in Triangle drama and now Yoochun taking home Best New Actor in Daejong Film Awards. 

Personally I have not watched Sea Fog but I will do so. I have watched The Attorney featuring Im Si Wan & Song Kang Ho. It is an impressive film and Siwan has done well in his role. Yay! He has won the popularity award with Kim Woo Bin. I don't get it how Honey Lee won this award as she is the oldest candidate in this award category when its mostly meant for the young rookies to content in it. Oh well... I thought the original Tazza is better than Tazza 2. 

As for the fashion on red carpet, I will give credits to Sohn Yeh Jin and Kim So Hyun for nailing it right! The colours and dresses are beautiful as it shows their figure yet graceful for an actress. What can I say for the men- all in tuxedo and black suits. *Swoon*. Im Siwan looks cute as a little rabbit...his Jang Geu Rae (Jang Okok) character is amazing in Misaeng drama. Nothing else can beat Kim Woobin as the model in tuxedo, ooo the height!!
