Overall, the above nomination list received the approval of the majority of the audience when gathering excellent candidates. All 5 films impressed with their talented cast and profound script.
Among them, the historical romance film Beloved is predicted to win the award as it is nominated in 3 important categories in the television category.
Moving and Revenant are highly anticipated by audiences because of their engaging and innovative scripts.
These are also two films with quite high ratings in Korea and "caused a fever" when released globally.
In the categories of best actor and actress, most of them are familiar faces and have many years of acting experience in the film industry.
Best Actor: Kim Soo Hyun ( Queen of Tears ), Nam Goong Min ( Beloved ), Ryu Seung Ryong ( Moving ), Yoo Yeon Seok ( A Bloody Lucky Day ), Im Si Wan ( Boyhood ).

Although the list of "best actors" is not controversial, the nomination of "best actress" raises many questions. Especially about Kim Ji Won playing the role of Queen of Tears , the film is causing a global fever and recording an outstandingly high viewership rating at the present time.
While the male lead Kim Soo Hyun was nominated for best actor, the central character of the film, played by Kim Ji Won, regrettably missed out on this nomination.

Besides, many viewers were disappointed when the nomination list did not include Kim Tae Ri, who had an explosive performance when recreating the chaotic emotions of the "possessed" character in Revenant .
Although there are many opinions, it is undeniable that the excellent transformations of the officially nominated actresses are: Ra Mi Ran ( My Bad Mom ), Ahn Eun Jin ( Beloved ), Uhm Jung Hwa ( Doctor Cha ), Lee Honey ( Night Flowers ), Lim Ji Yeon ( Garden of Lies ).

In there, Exhuma and 12.12 The Day dominated as the two names that "revived" the Korean box office last year and appeared in most of the following nominations such as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best New Actor.
Many viewers also predicted that one of the two would win the award for best film as it outperformed the other nominees on the nomination list. Currently, Exhuma is also the Korean film with the highest revenue in Vietnam.
