Ang Lee is an Academy Award-winning Taiwanese film director and screenwriter. While Lee’s father pressured him to become a serious academic, Lee fell in love with drama and the arts while in college. He eventually pursued an MFA in film production at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts alongside classmate Spike Lee. After six discouraging years of unemployment, Lee caught the attention of a major Chinese studio with his screenplays and they produced his first feature film, Pushing Hands. With only his second feature, The Wedding Banquet, Lee received nominations and awards from international festivals, including a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the Golden Globes and Academy Awards.
Lee’s first English language film, Sense and Sensibility (1995), was nominated for seven Academy Awards and in 1999 Lee breathed new life into the wuxia genre with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In 2005, Lee won Best Director and Best Picture awards worldwide for the cultural phenomenon Brokeback Mountain, including a historic win as the first director of color to win the Academy Award. He would become the second director of color to win the award for Life of Pi (2012). The emotional charge of Lee’s films and his ability to translate deep, repressed feelings into visual artistry have earned him international and historic acclaim. In 2008, MOCA honored Ang Lee at its annual Legacy Award Gala.

李安的第一部英文电影《理智与情感》（Sense and Sensibility 1995）获得了七项奥斯卡金像奖的提名。1999年，李安凭借《卧虎藏龙》（Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon）在武侠电影中崭露头角。2005年，李安凭借文化现象级的作品《断背山》（Brokeback Mountain）获得了全球最佳导演奖和最佳影片奖，是历史上第一位获得奥斯卡金像奖的非白人导演。凭借《少年派的奇幻漂流》（Life of Pi 2012），他再次成为了获得奖奥斯卡金像奖的有色人种导演。李安电影的情感张力和他将深沉压抑的情感转化为视觉艺术的能力为他赢得了国际上和历史上的赞誉。2008年，MOCA在其年度传承颁奖晚会上表彰了李安。
