The Blue Dragon Film Awards (Korean: 청룡영화상; RRCheongryong Yeonghwasang) is an annual awards ceremony that is presented by Sports Chosun (a sister brand of the Chosun Ilbo) for excellence in film in South Korea.[1]

The Blue Dragon Film Awards considers only blockbusters and popular movies of high artistic value released during the previous year. During the selection process, about forty movies that have made it to the final list are screened to the public for free. After the screening of each selection, the awards ceremony opens.[citation needed]

The Blue Dragon Film Awards and Grand Bell Awards are the most popular film awards in South Korea.[2]

History

It was created in 1963 by The Chosun Ilbo newspaper and discontinued in 1973. Sports Chosun, a Korean sports daily also owned by The Chosun Ilbo, resurrected the ceremony in 1990 and it has been held annually since then.[3]

The 42nd Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony was held on November 26, 2021, at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul.[4] In this edition, 18 categories were awarded. The nominations for 15 categories were announced for the Korean films released from October 30, 2020, to October 14, 2021, on November 1, 2021.[5]

The 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards ceremony was held on November 24, 2023, at KBS Hall in Yeouido, Seoul. It was hosted by Kim Hye-soo for the last time and Yoo Yeon-seok.[6] Smugglers, a crime film by Ryoo Seung-wan won four awards including Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, Best New Actress, and Best Music awards.[7]
