Last year, Ziyi Zhang could have been the first Asian to be nominated in the lead category for actresses for her role in Memoirs Of A Geisha but she fell short. This year, one of her co-stars, Gong Li, could snag a nod herself.
Sony Pictures Classic annouced that they are launching a campaign for Gong Li and director Zhang Yimou for their work on Curse Of The Golden Flower, paving the way for what could be major buzz for Gong Li, and the Academy's first Asian nomination in the category.
But with the likes of Mirren, Winslet, and Benning in the race, it will be an uphill battle for Gong Li to be honored in what is becoming a very close and competitive category.

They OWE Gong Li a nom. She should have had five Oscars by now.
She definitely should have at least one. She almost snuck into a nom last year too.
