As reported on Phoenix, the filmmaker recently bagged two awards, Best Director from Hong Kong/Taiwan and Best Screenplay for her movie, "Love Education". But since she both directed and co-wrote the movie (alongside You Xiaoying), Sylvia instead became the biggest individual winner of the night.

Best Actor: Tu Men ("Old Beast")

Best Actress: Zhou Dongyu ("This is Not What I Expected")
