NYAFF Audience Award

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Sure we had a fancy jury that give out awards this year, but the prize that the New York Asian Film Festival has been giving out for seven years is the Audience Award that is picked by, you guessed it, our audience. Past winners include, THE TASTE OF TEA, MY SASSY GIRL, PING PONG and ALWAYS: SUNSET ON THIRD STREET.

It took a while to tally them up, but we finally have the results of this year’s voting. The winner of the New York Asian Film Festival 2008 Audience Award is…FINE, TOTALLY FINE!

However, because the voting is only half scientific (we use magic for the other half) we also want to recognize the achievements of the five top-ranked movies out of the 43 we showed. They are:

1) FINE, TOTALLY FINE
2) ALWAYS: SUNSET ON THIRD STREET 2
3) KING NARESUAN 2
4) PUBLIC ENEMY RETURNS
5) SPARROW

Congrats to all the winners!

“What do you mean I won?”
