Actress Miao Ke-li Hosts Taipei Film Awards with Bold Humor and Tributes

Actress Miao Ke-li kicked off the 28th Taipei Film Awards ceremony with a memorable and audacious hosting performance. She immediately grabbed attention by playfully cursing and then humorously referring to herself as a "robot vacuum cleaner."

Miao's hosting segment was a masterclass in engaging the audience. She reprised her role as a prison guard from the film "Sunshine Girls Choir," playfully scolding actresses like Sun Shu-mei and An Xin-ya in the audience. She then directly addressed actress Yang Kuei-mei, quipping, "You might be thinking, why is this bad woman on stage? It's because I sing better than you!" Miao then delivered a rendition of Yang's song "Rose Life," earning applause, and followed up with a cheeky, "What, can't sing and dance?" – a direct, playful jab at singer A-Lin's recent Golden Melody Awards performance.

What, can't sing and dance?

Further showcasing her versatility, Miao paid tribute to nominated films by mimicking various characters and even attempting Cantonese, à la actor Ke Wei-lin. She reflected on the difficulties inherent in filmmaking, stating, "It takes a lot of money to find these films, and the path of filmmaking is not easy. I think everyone understands this, but we've all come through it. We won't back down, and every year we bring such wonderful works to everyone."
