32nd China TV Golden Eagle Award honors nominations, excellent papers

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.
