[Korean Film News] 44th Grand Bell Awards [대종상영화제] - Nominees Announced

(Posted In Asia Film News )

Lee Joon-Ik's The King and The Clown swept the 43rd Grand Bell Awards last year, so it comes as no surprise that Bong Joon-ho's The Host should figure prominently in this year's ceremony. While the Grand Bell Awards seems to choose films based on popularity -- this year's edition focuses on three huge hits -- 200 Pound Beauty, The Host and War of Flower -- there are a few welcome surprises as well, including Kim Tae-shik's (Driving With My Wife's Lover) nomination for Best New Director. My own personal choice for Best Film? Why, Family Ties, of course! The ceremony will take place June 8.
