Historical film "The Throne" has been named the winner of the Best Picture Award of the 35th Korean Film Critics Association Awards.

The film, a box-office hit directed by Lee Joon-ik, also won the awards for best screenplay and best music. In the movie, actor Song Kang-ho plays King Yeongjo (1694-1776) of Korea's Joseon Kingdom, while Yoo Ah-in plays his own son, Crown Prince Sado, who, according to historical records, was locked in a rice chest by the order of his father and starved to death.

The Best Director Award went to Ryoo Seung-wan for crime-action film "Veteran," also a box-office hit.  

Jung Jae-young grabbed the Best Actor Award for his role in "Right Now, Wrong Then," whereas actress Kim Hye-soo won the Best Actress Award for her role in "China town." 

Jung and actress Jo Yeo-jeong will emcee the awards ceremony which will be held at the Korea Press Center in downtown Seoul on Nov. 16, the organizer said.
