For their work in the drama A Good Child, Mediacorp actor Richie Koh, 32, earned a nod in the Best Leading Actor category, while Shahreens and Dollei Seah will compete in the Best Makeup and Costume Design category.

In addition, Singaporean filmmaker Tan Siyou is nominated for Best New Director for her debut feature, the coming-of-age drama Amoeba.

The winners will be announced at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in Taipei on Nov 22.

Written and directed by Singaporean filmmaker Ong Kuo Sin, A Good Child tells the story of Jia Hao (Koh), a drag queen estranged from his family. When his mother Ju Hua (Hong Huifang) develops dementia, he returns to care for her. Her loosening grip on reality allows him to reshape her memories, enabling him to confront buried wounds and make an attempt at healing.
