Best film in the 30th Blue Dragon Film Awards on Wednesday went to "Mother - 2009" directed by Bong Joon-ho. The ceremony was held at the KBS Hall in Seoul.
"Mother - 2009" tells the story of a mother whose son is wrongly indicted for murder and who struggles to hunt down the real killer. The film was invited to this year's Cannes International Film Festival for the Un Certain Regard section.
Yoon Je-kyoon, who directed "Haeundae", received the award for the film that drew the biggest audience. "I would like to say thank you to every one of those 11.53 million people who watched my film", he said in accepting the prize.
Jang Jin-yeong, a two-time winner of the best actress award who died of stomach cancer in September at the age of 37, was given a posthumous special award.
