Bi Rain (ピ, 비) - Rainism Korea Film Award (2008 - 12 - 04)

You know how at the prom, everyone goes for uber-glitz and black-tie formal, only its done through the filter of a 17-year-old fashion sense — or rather, what a 17-year-old would think was formal black-tie fashion sense? So the end result is a really weird mix of over-the-top gaudiness that may have been expensive but looks cheap?

Thats kind of the feel I get from looking at pictures from the 7th Annual Korea Film Awards.

Of course there are some standouts — Han Ye-seul glammed it up with the appropriate touch of class and sexiness — but there were also a lot of beautiful women in ugly dresses that looked more off-the-rack Jessica McClintock (hey, its fake prom!) than red-carpet awards ceremony.

So if were talking red-carpet wow factor, it was a decided step down from, say, last months lovely Blue Dragon Awards.

As for the awards themselves, no surprises if youve been watching the accolades accumulate all year long. The Chaser was the overwhelming winner, with The Good, The Bad, The Weird taking up (a distant) second place. A few notable exceptions from the rule were Kang Ji-hwan (A Movie Is a Movie) and Gong Hyo-jin (Crush and Blush), but you can check out the full list (and, of course, the fashions!) below the jump.

"And the Korean Film Award for Best Actress goes to...every woman in here that the camera panned over, for appearing remarkably calm and composed while watching Rain pole dance."
