The 32nd China TV Golden Eagle Award and the 15th China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival held a ceremony to honor nominees and award outstanding papers in the television industry, in Changsha City of central China's Hunan Province on Sunday.
Multiple productions from China Media Group (CMG) won nominations for this year's Golden Eagle Award.
The Golden Eagle Award is determined through a combination of work showcases, online audience voting, and expert evaluations, with winners for categories like best drama, documentary, animation, screenwriter, director and actors to be announced at the award ceremony.
"The Golden Eagle Award, as a permanent national award in the field of television arts, ultimately aims to promote the creation of quality works and talent cultivation. Creators must genuinely internalize and consciously express the themes of the era, particularly the people's perspective. This approach will surely be popular with the people and strengthen the connection between creators and their audiences," said Yan Shaofei, Party secretary of China Television Artists Association.
This year's festival organized more than 100 writers, directors and actors to engage in interactive discussions with students at universities in Hunan. "Young people should keep learning and listening to others' advices, and constantly enrich ourselves so as to make our works and characters authentically reflect what the people want to see," said Zhang Xincheng, an actor.

Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Saturday China is willing to work with Lesotho to strengthen exchanges on governance experience, enhance coordination in multilateral affairs, and advance the China-Lesotho strategic partnership.
Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks when meeting with Lesotho Prime Minister Sam Matekane in the capital of Lesotho.
During the meeting, Wang congratulated Lesotho on the 60th anniversary of its independence this year, and spoke highly of Lesotho government's efforts to prioritize economic development and steer the African country onto a path of sustainable growth. Since the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in 2024, the two sides have advanced cooperation under the 10 partnership action plans unveiled at the summit, successfully implementing a number of key projects to effectively promote Lesotho's development and revitalization, Wang said.
China stands ready to work with Lesotho to strengthen exchanges on governance experience, enhance coordination in multilateral affairs, and push for greater development of the China-Lesotho strategic partnership, he added.
Calling on the two sides to firmly support each other, Wang said that China will accelerate the implementation of its zero-tariff policy for African countries, including Lesotho, expand bilateral trade, investment and industrial cooperation, facilitate broader access of Lesotho's specialty products to the Chinese market, and continue to support Lesotho's national development.
China will continue to stand firmly with African countries, uphold justice for the Global South, including Lesotho, oppose unilateralism and acts of bullying, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity, Wang said.
On his part, Matekane said during the meeting that Lesotho cherishes its friendship with China and the strategic partnership between the two countries, and expressed gratitude for China's valuable support for the development of African countries, including Lesotho.
Lesotho firmly adheres to the one-China principle and resolutely supports China in safeguarding its core interests, he said, noting that his country stands ready to strengthen strategic mutual trust with China, expand people-to-people exchanges, jointly implement the outcomes of the FOCAC Beijing Summit, and deepen cooperation in areas such as infrastructure, manufacturing and energy.
Matekane stressed that China's zero-tariff policy for African products will inject new impetus into Lesotho's development. He also expressed Lesotho's willingness to strengthen solidarity and cooperation with China on multilateral platforms such as BRICS to jointly address global challenges.
On the same day, Wang also held talks with Lejone Mpotjoana, minister of foreign affairs and international relations of Lesotho.
