Asia's movie greats converged on the gambling hub of Macau Wednesday as the city rolled out the red carpet for the Asian Film Awards. The awards, organised by the Hong Kong International Film Festival and aimed at promoting regional cinema, are in their 9th year. Movie heavyweights including China and India take on newer talents from Taiwan and the Philippines this year, with Hong Kong director Ann Hui's "Golden Era" -- a biopic of acclaimed Chinese writer Xiao Hong -- leading the pack with five nominations. "You'd better give one to me, at least, or I will have to walk away with nothing," she joked when asked about the number of nominations the movie has.
