Cage was named Best Global Actor in Motion Pictures at China’s Huading Awards on Monday night. Nicole Kidman, honored as best global film actress, wore a black Prada dress while she walked the red carpet in Macau alongside Hong Kong legend and pal Jackie Chan, Entertainment weekly informs.

Cage has been shooting Outcast in Hong Kong with Hayden Christensen.

“I believe in the genius loci of a place, the genie of the place is what I call it. I absorb that energy and it affects performance wherever I go,” Cage said on the red carpet. “… Making a movie in China, I’m buzzing with good energy, I feel great here. I love the people I’m working with, I love the crew, and there’s a genuine warmth and enthusiasm that I get from my conversations.”

Quentin Tarantino, whose Django Unchained was released last year, was named Best Global Director in Motion Pictures.

“I’ve been a fan of Asian cinema my whole life growing up. I did my movie Kill Bill as a complete tribute to my love for it and so to come here amongst the Chinese film industry, get this from the Chinese fans is a dream come true,” said Tarantino.
