A poor showing by domestic films at the recently concluded Golden Horse Awards led a group of opposition lawmakers to call for an end to the event. Today most pulled back from their controversial comments and instead suggested more support for local filmmakers.
The Golden Horse Awards have become politicized due to the strong performance by Chinese and Hong Kong films. Some opposition lawmakers even called for an end to the local awards ceremony, which sparked a stern rebuke from filmmakers and other supporters.
Wang Jin-pyng
Legislative Speaker
The awards ceremony is well run. Since we only took a few awards, we should try to work a little harder.
Over the past few days, DPP Legislator Lin Chia-lung had called for a review of the policies supporting domestic films. He says he was improperly targeted as the person who called for an end to the awards ceremony.
Lin Chia-lung
DPP Legislator
I never said we should end the Golden Horse Awards. I am personally not in favor of stopping the event, so there was a misunderstanding. But I hope that we can all properly examine the failings of the domestic film industry
Other opposition lawmakers echoed Lin’s comments.
Huang Wei-cher
DPP Legislator
Taiwanese films have performed poorly over the past few years. This is a reality we should investigate to see whether the government has provided enough assistance.
Another opposition lawmaker who called for an end to the awards, Kuan Bi-ling, has yet to come forward to defend or retract her comments.
才剛落幕的金馬獎，獎項幾乎都被中國影片包辦，讓在野黨立委氣得喊出，"停辦金馬獎"的主張，結果被不少導演和執政黨立委圍剿。當初發言的民進黨立委林佳龍，出面喊冤，強調一切都是誤會，他從來沒有主張停辦金馬獎。
電影圈盛事”金馬獎”,也引起政治人物關注！只因為獎項幾乎都被中國抱走,有在野立委氣到喊出"停辦金馬獎"，引發爭議。

“辦得好好的嘛，而且我們得獎少，就是自己要多加努力”
而這幾天發言要求檢討國片政策的民進黨立委林佳龍，意外成為箭靶,他出面喊冤。
[[立委(民) 林佳龍]]
“我從頭到尾，都沒有說過要停辦金馬獎，我個人是不贊成停辦的，雖然有一些誤會啦，不過我希望大家可以來正視國片的處境”
同黨立委,也幫忙林佳龍緩頰。
[[立委(民) 黃偉哲]]
“台灣電影事實上這幾年成績不好，這是一個事實，這樣子的話我們就要來追究 政府到底是不是有輔導”
另一位說要停掉金馬獎，引起抨擊的民進黨立委管碧玲，目前還未現身說明。
