ShoWest nods for Lee, Schamus

February 29, 2008 The honor will be presented March 11 at the convention's Opening Day Luncheon, which will shine the spotlight on indie and specialty films, at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas. Ang Lee and James Schamus answered that call with 'Lust, Caution,' demonstrating uncompromising integrity in their filmmaking and, by accepting the NC-17 rating, that same integrity in clearly labeling a film intended for adults as what it was. A best director Oscar winner for 2005's "Brokeback Mountain," the Taiwan-born Lee's credits also include "Pushing Hands," "The Wedding Banquet," "Sense and Sensibility," "The Ice Storm" and "Hulk."
