"The Host" Tops Asian Film Awards

South Korea's monster flick "The Host" has dominated Hong Kong's inaugural Asian Film Awards after winning four awards out of its five nominations.

The movie, directed by Bong Joon-ho, won the Best Film, Best Cinematographer and Best Visual Effects awards while the movie's star, Song Kang-ho, beat fellow Korean idol Jung Ji-Hoon, better known as Rain, and Andy Lau for Best Actor.

Chinese director Jia Zhangke grabbed the Best Director award for his movie, "Still Life", while Japan's Nakatani Miki was crowned best actress for her performance in "Memories of Matsuko" and beat Chinese stars Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, as well as Korean star Kim Hye-soo.
