China’s Zhang Ziyi picked up the award for Best Leading Actress at the Golden Horse Awards in Taipei Saturday in recognition of her role in the martial arts movie The Grandmaster. ” I’ve been nominated a few times for the Golden Horse Awards. I finally captured one today,” an emotional Zhang said in her acceptance speech.

She said making “The Grandmaster” was a long and difficult experience but it was fulfilling.

“Thank you director Wong Kar-wai for allowing me to encounter Gong Er at the most difficult time of my life and for encouraging me to be brave and believe in myself. I did it,” the 34 year-old Zhang said in her acceptance speech at the awards.

She also thanked her co-star Tony Leung Chiu-wai of Hong Kong and other cast and crew of the film.
