This weekend was the 2024 Blue Dragon Film Awards held in Seoul and all the big movie stars were out and about, including one who recently had quite a paternity scandal haha. The big winners were the movie 12.12: The Day (Seoul Spring) winning Best Picture but Best Director went to Exhuma director Jang Hae Hyun so the two movies basically split the top honors. Hwang Jung Min won Best Actor for 12:12 and Kim Go Eun continues her win streak for Exhuma taking home Best Actress. A surprise in the supporting categories with Jung Hae In winning Best Supporting Actor for I, The Executioner (Veteran 2) and Lee Sang Hee got Best Supporting Actress for the indie movie My Name Is Loh Kiwan. The popularity prizes went to D.P. costars Jung Hae In and Koo Kyo Hwan as well as Lim Ji Yeon and Tang Wei.
As usual at a Korean award ceremony the fashion was a boring sea of black and white dresses with maybe a handful of dresses that were an actual colour.
Congratulations Kim Go Eun. I’m not sure of the cut off dates for eligibility but she could be back in contention next year for Love in the Big City too. She is really the representative actress of generation at this point. Kim Tae Ri is her only other competition but she has focused on dramas the last few years (to great success, of course) but I hope she is sent a good film script soon too.
Jung Hae In is having a very good year. His shocked reaction to winning Best Supporting Actor was so funny
Love in the big city was nominated in 2 categories this year, with Noh Sang-hyun winning best new actor
@Jenoo: Good point. I was surprised Lee Do Hyun didn’t win considering how successful Exhuma was at the awards. I guess she will be nominated for the 2025 Baeksang Awards for LITBC as she won the 2024 Baeksang for ‘Exhuma’ already.
@Sunny
Yeah I thought lee dohyun gonna win the best new actor. Maybe him in the military and could not attend also affecting it? Well the winner is also not bad himself, it was probably close match
@yuhyi: I think also because Exhuma came out a while ago (February) and he hasn’t been visible due to serving. Noh Sang Hyun’s film premiered just two months ago so he has been very visible promoting and is playing a more challenging role from an actor’s perspective so that probably gained him votes. Agreed that he is certainly a deserving winner too so I don’t mind him winning either.
Congratulation Kim Go EUn. Glad to hear her success in movie industry. She already won 2 major awards for Exhuma alone. I would like to watched it but I don’t like horror movie :((
I saw a video clip of Hyeri when Jung Woosung came up on stage with Hwang Jungmin ~ it’s going viral in SKorea 😂 Girl was not impressed he showed his philandering a$s.
That scene was so surreal. Hyeri was practically the only one with any decorum.
I understand that Jung Woo Sung is popular and powerful in the industry so I would have understood people clapping politely to be civil but why were Lim Jiyeon, Park Juhyun and others hollering, cheering and applauding like he was a national hero? This crusty mofo who can’t keep it in his pants bringing his filthy washing to an awards ceremony and treating it like it was his own personal press conference, stating that he will do the bare minimum he should do and financially support his own child. Pathetic🙄 It truly is a blessing in this world to have a penis.
Remember woozie fans said woozie be number one of gen. In end she is flop movie actress
Kim go eun and Kim tae ri are clear ahead by long miles. With respect and success. Surprised Kim tae ri hasn’t won best actress at this award. She needs to focus on movies too. Kim go eun has overtaken her in movies..Kim tae ri is clearly ahead in dramas. So they both are at top.
