The Gold List (Film)
The Gold List for Film honors the most outstanding Asian Pacific achievements in the film industry each year. It was created to accelerate the fair inclusion of Asian Pacific creatives and projects in mainstream media and during the crucial awards season. Since its inception three years ago, 27 Gold List honorees have gone on to receive Academy Award wins or nominations, including last year’s historic wins for Everything Everywhere All At Once, Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, “Naatu Naatu”, and The Elephant Whisperer.
