Ang Lee wins Oscar Award for Best Director
Ang Lee, director of "Life of Pi", won the Oscar Award for Best
Director Sunday night at the 85th Academy Awards Ceremony.
He succeeded over Michael Haneke of "Amour," Benh Zeitlin of
"Beasts of the Southern Wild," Steven Spielberg of "Lincoln" and
David O. Russell of "Silver Linings Playbook" to win the golden
statute.
"Life of Pi" is an adventure tale featuring a young man named
Young Pi, who is the son of zookeepers in Pondicherry, India, finds
the world he knows swept away when his family sells the zoo and
sets sail for Canada with a few of its remaining animals.
When a storm capsizes the ship, only Pi escapes and sets
adrift in a lifeboat that is also the refuge of an enormous Bengal
tiger.
Coming from China's Taiwan, the 59-year-old Lee won the
Oscar Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2003 for "Hulk" and
got another Oscar award for Best Director in 2005 for "Brokeback
Mountain." He is the first person of Asian descent to win the Oscar
for Best Director.
