Its young actor Ian Iskandar also clinched the win for Best Supporting Actor and Best New Performer.

In the Best Asian Film category, nominee Still Life (China) was withdrawn as it failed to meet the election criteria, which stipulate that nominees for the category must be released by means of 35 mm film. The vacancy was filled by I Not Stupid Too (Singapore).
