Complete 53rd Grand Bell Awards Winner List Presented

The last week of December is indeed filled with glitz and glamor as several award ceremonies are being held in this period.

Just this December 27, the Daejong Film Awards or the 53rd Golden Bell Awards took place at the prestigious Sejong University's Convention Center. This event was held to recognize several distinguished Korean films.

Several movies got honored such as "Inside Men" and "The Wailing" which lead the night as both films garnered not only one but five awards each in different categories.

Since last year, the Daejong Film Awards received a huge amount of controversy. Yonhap News noted that the said award ceremony was deeply criticized for its fee-based voting system and its policy of having only the attendees can win awards. Up until this year, the issue was still not resolved which was highlighted in the speech of this year's "Best Actor" awardee, Lee Byung Hun.
