The 39th China Golden Rooster Awards announced its winners on November 10, with China Media Group (CMG)'s Shenzhou 13 (Blue Planet Outside the Window) taking home the award for Best Documentary/Science and Education Film.

The awards ceremony was held in Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province. A total of 20 awards were presented, recognizing achievements across a wide range of film genres and filmmaking disciplines.

Dead to Rights won Best Feature Film, while its leading actress, Gao Ye, received the Best Actress award for her performance as Lin Yixiu. Veteran Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka-fai took Best Actor for his role in the action thriller The Shadow's Edge.

Director Zheng Dasheng won Best Director for Hideaway: The Dossiers. Dear You received two awards: Best Screenplay and the Jury Special Award. Wan Li was named Best New Director for Sound of Silence, which also earned Lan Xiya the Best Supporting Actress award. Hoshur Seley won Best Supporting Actor for Wantongshu.

Animation also featured prominently, with Nobody taking Best Animated Film. Shanghai Wonton won Best Low-to-Medium-Budget Feature Film, while Norwegian film Sentimental Value received Best Foreign Language Film.

Produced by CMG, Shenzhou 13 is China's first 8K space-shot feature film. Its footage was captured aboard China's space station by Shenzhou-13 astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu during their six-month orbital mission.

Using domestically developed 8K ultra-high-definition cameras, the 90-minute film offered spectacular views of Earth from space and intimate glimpses into astronauts' daily lives in orbit. Told largely from Wang Yaping's perspective, it brought the experience of China's space exploration to the big screen through a unique blend of science, technology and cinematic storytelling.
