Taibao has been active on the big screen since the 1970s, and has starred in Jackie Chan's kung fu comedy films, Hong Jinbao's Fuxing series, and gangster movies in costume martial arts films, etc. The gangsters he played impressed many netizens.
This is not the first time that Taibao has been nominated for an Academy Award, as early as 1985, he was nominated for best supporting actor at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards for the film "Servant", unfortunately he did not win.
"Uncle Uncle" is a gay film directed by Yang Yaokai and starring Taibao, Yuan Fuhua and others, which tells the story of two male comrades who have been hiding in the cabinet for many years, and even have formed a family, but they met each other in old age and had to make a choice in some things.
After the film was screened at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, because of the theme and the quality of the film itself, it triggered a lot of discussion, and many netizens praised "Uncle Uncle" and won a high score of 7.5 in Douban.
It is reported that "Uncle Uncle" has received a total of 9 nominations for the Academy Awards, including the Best Film Award, the Best Director Award, the Best Screenwriter Award, the Recent Actor Award, the Best Supporting Actor Award, the Best Supporting Actress Award, the Best New Actor Award, the Best Editing Award, and the Best Costume Design Award.
In addition to the Academy Awards, the film was nominated for the Teddy Bear Award at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival. And the 56th Golden Horse Awards for Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay award four awards nominations.
Due to the epidemic situation, some time ago, the Hong Kong Film Writers Association held an award ceremony on the Internet, and "Uncle Uncle" won the Annual Recommended Script Award and the Best Film Role Award of the Year, and the Association also specially invited director Kwan Kam Peng to present the award.
I hope that the main creative team of this film can develop better and better in the future!
