The 53rd Grand Bell Awards presentation ceremony was held in the Sejong
University today. As last year the organizer had announced that the
awards would be presented to those who showed up and irritated many
actors, very few big names showed up this year despite that the
organizer no longer insisted on their presence.
Of the nominees for the
best leading actor and actress, Byung-hun Lee was the only star in the
ceremony, and he was awarded the Best Leading Actor for the movie
"Inside Men". It was his 3rd award this year, after winning the Baeksang
Arts Award and Blue Dragon Film Award. The red carpet interview was
hosted by Byongchan Kim, Rey-young Kong and Tae-im Lee, and the arrivals
included Bumsoo Lee, Dong-geun Yang, Ei Lee and Byung-hun, but still
the entire ceremony seemed darker than usual.
