Jackie Chan Action Movie Awards

Jackie Chan Action Movie Awards are awards presented to action film genre. The "Jackie Chan Action Movie Week" was originally presented during the Shanghai International Film Festival since 2015, but in 2019 it moved to a new date and venue in Shanghai to become its own event.[1] Voted by the reporters in the entertainment industry, the awards are aimed at "celebrating international action movies and honoring those who have made outstanding contributions to the genre".[2][3] The award ceremony is named after Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan.

Held in a full-sized sports arena, notable attendees at the inaugural solo event in 2019 included Chris Tucker, Adrien Brody and Paul Haggis. Variety declared that the "scale (of the stunt-filled closing ceremony) suggested ambitions of matching an Olympic Games or World Cup ceremony."[1]

In 2021, instead of the regular awards, the best ten Chinese action movies were selected.[4][5]
