Taiwanese director Ang Lee and American actress Jessica Chastain attended the Golden Horse Awards. The awards are held at the end of the month long Golden Horse Festival and are considered the Taiwanese Oscars.
If, like me, you're wondering why an American actress was presenting at a Taiwanese film festival, she's a spokesperson for Piaget, which sponsers the Golden Horse Awards.
Chastain, who also advocates for women directors, highlighted Vivian Qu's win and the fact that there was gender parity among the director nominees.
