Golden Horse Awards.

Kung Fu Hustle's taken Best Picture, Best Director (Stephen Chow), Best Supporting Actress (Yuen Qiu), Best Make Up and Costume Design (Shirley Chan) and Best Visual Effects at the Golden Horse Film Festival, "the Chinese-speaking world's leading film awards," as the BBC puts it.

Others who've made a fine showing: Hou Hsiao-hsien (named Taiwanese Filmmaker of the Year, and his Three Times is Taiwanese Film of the Year while Shu Qi picks up Best Actress); Aaron Kwok, Best Actor (Divergence); and, on the complete list of winners, you'll see Johnnie To's Election and Andrew Lau and Alan Mak's Initial D mentioned a few times as well.
