What Are These Awards? The Blue Dragon Film Awards recognize Korean films and the people who make them. They were launched in 1963 to support the development of Korean cinema. After a hiatus, the ceremony resumed in 1990. The history of their launch and revival is explained in Sports Chosun's article on the 40th ceremony's history. This year's announced nominees span film, directing, acting, and production categories. Best Film and the acting awards are separate categories. To check whether a particular actor is nominated, look at the film associated with the nomination as well. Best Film and Best Director Nominees The directors of all 5 Best Film nominees are also nominated for Best Director. Matching them by film shows how the two categories line up.

Possible Love is nominated in 8 categories. The King's Warden is nominated in 7 categories. These figures are not audience totals or numbers of awards won. Film Number of nominated categories announced on October 28, 2026 Hope 10 categories Possible Love 8 categories The King's Warden 7 categories Colony 6 categories The World of Love 5 categories The Assassin(s) 5 categories Possible Love has nominees in both leading actor categories and both supporting actor categories. It is not among the Best Film nominees. The number of nominated categories and a Best Film nomination should be considered separately.

What to Watch For The nominee list shows the range of categories in which each film is nominated and the films associated with each actor. These observations come from comparing the announced list. Nomination counts alone cannot predict the winners. The Best Film and Best Director categories feature the same films. Possible Love has nominees across all four leading and supporting actor categories. Koo Kyo-hwan and Jo In-sung are each nominated for leading and supporting roles in different films. Actor Best Actor nominated film Best Supporting Actor nominated film Koo Kyo-hwan Once We Were Us Colony Jo In-sung Hope Possible Love Recording only an actor's name makes it difficult to distinguish which film the nomination is for. For accuracy, records should include the ceremony number, category, actor, and film together. Nomination records and award wins should also be kept separately.
