Jackie Chan said on Thursday that movie awards can never be fair because of the volume of films to choose from and the difficulty in finding objective jurors.

"There was a lot of criticism on the internet saying that the Oscar results were unfair," Chan said on his website.

"Some thought someone else should've won Best Director and another film should've won Best Picture," Chan wrote in a posting congratulating Ang Lee for winning Best Director for Brokeback Mountain.

The movie was nominated for the Best Picture Oscar but was beaten to the top award by racial drama Crash.

"To be honest, I don't think anything is completely fair except for the Olympics. If you beat someone by one-thousandth of a second, then you won - with your result the only basis for a win - and of course this does not include cheating incidents," he said.

"Do you know how many films a film awards ceremony has to select from? Maybe some did not qualify for the award. Some had no chance to participate, and maybe some films were not nominated by anybody. However, these films could be even better than the ones participating in the awards, it would be hard to know. Can you say that is fair?" the action star said.

Chan added that the bias of jurors also adds an element of uncertainty.

"Since everyone has different tastes or favourites, there will naturally be different results," he said.
