Best Female Entertainers
No two women on our 2005 list are alike -- except that they're all exceptional and unafraid of the spotlight. As for why we have two representatives from the reviled Memoirs of a Geisha ... well, maybe it's just foolish optimism, but we happen to believe that what won't kill your career will certainly only make it stronger.

Best Male Entertainers
Asian men stepped it up a notch in 2005, making their way onto small screens and cineplexes alike, and even managing to sneak onto People's annual most beautiful list (!) Not that they're all brawn and beauty; our men have brains too, and wonderfully active ones at that. With guys like these, how does the other half live?

Best Films
It was a good year for Asian cinefiles. So good, in fact, that we had to expand our list, from ten to fifteen, with plenty more worthy titles left out in the cold. Don't believe us, check the honorable mentions, which include a Cannes favorite (China's Shanghai Dreams) and an Oscar hopeful (India's Paheli).

Best Filmmakers
Moviemaking takes time, talent, and some serious mental toughness. So it's no surprise that our filmmakers of the year possess all of the above in spades. Because when the going gets tough, the tough get going -- the result being characters that click, images that stick and a style that the filmmakers in all of us envy to no avail.

Best Up-and-Comers
Some of the men and women (and boys and girls) on our 2005 up-and-comers list are long overdue for breaking through to the other side (that would be the mainstream); others are still finding their stride. Whatever the case may be, we applaud their stick-to-itiveness and for putting Asian-Americans where they belong: in the public consciousness.
