Their rivals are Taiwan's Chang Chen (張震) (The Go Master), South Korea's Song Kang-ho (The Host) and Japan's Ken Watanabe (Memories of Tomorrow).
Special honors will be given to movie theorist David Bordwell and Josephine Siao Fong-fong (蕭芳芳), legendary Hong Kong actress and winner of the 1995 Berlin Film festival for her role in Summer Snow, for their contribution in Asian cinema.
The movies were selected by a jury of 17 experts from across the world from more than 700 eligible films produced in the region in 2006, organizers said.
