金馬執委會昨日舉行第59屆金馬獎入圍名單記者會，由上屆的最佳女配角王渝萱與男演員曾敬驊揭曉。其中，最佳男主角入圍名單包括《智齒》的林家棟、《罪後真相》的張孝全，以及《一家子兒咕咕叫》的游安順等人；最佳女主角入圍的則有《智齒》的劉雅瑟，以及《燈火闌珊》的張艾嘉等女星，角逐影后。
第59屆金馬執委會執行長聞天祥說：「入圍最佳導演，有的其實也算是新銳導演，其實一家子兒咕咕叫，嚴格說起來是詹京霖的第一部，就是完全的電影呀，那他之前其實曾經以川流之島，入圍過金馬獎最佳新導演。」
最佳導演項目則有陳潔瑤的《哈勇家》，以及詹京霖的《一家子兒咕咕叫》等人；而港片《智齒》，這次一口氣入圍最佳劇情片、最佳男主角等14項，是入圍的大贏家；國片《咒》也入圍包括最佳導演等13個獎項。
聞天祥指出：「那我覺得就是就片論片是競賽裡面，非常非常重要的部分，就好像我們從來不會，因為你的主題去決定你這部作品，到底是應該加分或減分。」
而本屆的「年度台灣傑出電影工作者」得主，由已故爆破特效大師陳銘澤獲得，強調陳銘澤擅長將寫實動作，與特效設計結合的影像呈現，並且積極在爆破領域學習新知識，執行出炫麗又安全的大場面。本屆頒獎典禮將於11月19日，在國父紀念館舉行。
