The 38th China Film Golden Rooster Awards ceremony concluded on Thursday evening (Nov. 15), with all awards finding their winners. Michelle Wai, previously favored to win Best Actress for her performance in "Last Dance," ultimately lost to Song Jia for "Her Story." However, "Last Dance," which received five nominations, secured the Best Screenplay award.
In the Best Actor category, 24-year-old Jackson Yee made history by becoming the youngest performer to ever receive this honor. Facing seasoned competitors, including Da Peng for "Lychee of Chang'an" and Zhu Yilong, Yee's win, though widely anticipated, was considered highly competitive. He ultimately won for his leading role in "Big World." Despite his young age, Yee has been working for 12 years since his debut at 12. He expressed that he has lived under intense scrutiny and pressure since entering the industry, feeling honored to have found his path as an actor. He hopes to earn the genuine respect of the audience through his future work.
The ceremony presented 21 awards in total. For the acting categories, Best Supporting Actor and Actress were announced first. Hong Kong actor Ben Yuen won Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Dessert Uncle in "Dumping Queen," while Zhong Chuxi won Best Supporting Actress for "Her Story."
Accepting his award, the 61-year-old Yuen became emotional, stating, "Thank you to the committee. I'm 61 this year, and I don't know why I'm still this emotional. The Dessert Uncle saw helping others as his duty. Similarly, an actor's duty is to give their all to every role, regardless of the outcome. Thank you!"
This marks Song Jia's second Golden Rooster Best Actress win; her first was nine years ago at the 29th awards for the film "Xiao Hong." She expressed gratitude for every role and collaborator, saying, "You have made me who I am! Thank you to the audience for coming to the cinema and being with us."
