DID AN ASIAN FILM WIN THE GOLDEN LION?

Despite all the cocktail parties, and statements about Asian movies ruling Venice and beating up all the smaller, weaker movies, not a single Asian-produced flick won a prize at this year's Venice film festival.

But what did win was a film directed by an Asian: Ang Lee's BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. In fact, it won the big dog prize, the GOLDEN LION!

So my question is: did an Asian film win the Golden Lion?

Here's Variety's list of the prizewinners.
