The 54th Golden Horse Award last night took place at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall in Taipei. This year the Golden Horse Award presented awards in 27 category. The film THE BOLD, THE CORRUPT, AND THE BEAUTIFUL won Best Feature Film, Best Actor went to OLD BEAST's Tu Men and Best Actress to THE BOLD, THE CORRUPT, THE BEAUTIFUL's Kara Wai Ying Hung.

The 14 year old THE BOLD, THE CORRUPT, AND THE BEAUTIFUL Taiwan star Vicky Chen knocked out Deanie Ip Tak Han to become the Golden Horse's youngest Best Supporting Actress.
