SPECIAL AWARDS:
To receive this year’s Ulirang Artista Lifetime Achievement Award is actor-director Christopher de Leon. The award was formerly given to veteran movie industry artists by the Nora Aunor Foundation in cooperation with the PMPC. Years later, it was handed over to the PMPC.

The Ulirang Alagad Ng Pelikula Sa Likod Ng Kamera (a lifetime achievement award) will be awarded to movie producer Mrs. Lily Monteverde (a.k.a. Mother Lily) of Regal Entertainment.

Darling of the Press Nominees:
Governor ER Ejercito
Luis Manzano
Annabelle Rama
Daniel Razon
Senator Bong Revilla

Ang pelikulang idinerehe ni Laurice Guillen para sa Star Cinema, ang “Sa ‘Yo Lamang” ang siyang may pinaka-powerful na mga nominasyon ( with 13 nominations) sa taong ito para sa 27th PMPC Star Awards for Movies 2011 na idaraos sometime in June 2011 (ang venue ng awards night ay soon-to-be-announced pa). Pumapangalawa naman ang pelikulang “Sigwa”, isang indie film na idinirek ni Joel Lamangan, at produced by Carmela Honrado and Pelita Uy- na maski mas lamang ng isang nominasyon sa “Sa ‘Yo Lamang” ay masasabi naming pangalawang top nominee lamang dahil hindi siya isang mainstream film. Labing-apat ang nominasyon ng “Sigwa” sa Star Awards sa taong ito na mostly ay nasa technical na aspeto.
Pangatlo namang top nominee para sa blogger na ito ang pelikulang “Rosario”, sa direksyon ni Alberto Martinez with 10 nominations. Ang pelikulang ito, for sure, ang magiging mahigpit na karibal ng “Sa Yo Lamang” at “Sigwa” for Best Picture.
Although mas lamang ng isang point sa total number of nominations ang pelikulang “Emir” ni direk Chito Rono, we feel na mas powerful naman ang nominations ng “Rosario” dahil nominado sa Best Actor si Yul Servo sa nabanggit na movie, samantalang sa “Emir”, walang major acting nominee kaya maski mas madami ang nominations ng “Emir”, mas lamang ang impact ng nominations ng “Rosario”, and thus, ang “Rosario” ang pangatlong top nominee na personal choice para sa blogger na ito.
And yes, nominado muli si Fanny TF Serrano bilang Best Actor sa indie film niyang “Tarima”. Kalaban niya sa kategorya sina Yul Servo (“Rosario”), Coco Martin (“Noy”), Baron Geisler (“Donor”) at John Lloyd cruz (“Miss You Like Crazy”).
Sa Best Actress, ang magkakalaban ay sina Lorna Tolentino (“Sa ‘Yo Lamang”), Bea Alonzo (“Sa ‘Yo Lamang”), Aiai delas Alas (“Tanging Ina Mo, last Na To”), Lovi Poe (“Mayohan”), Anne Curtis (“In Your Eyes”), Dawn Zulueta (“Sigwa”) and Angelika Panganiban (“Here Comes The Bride”).

Hubo Productions’ Ganap na Babae will have its free special screening on March 31, 2011 (Thursday) at the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Manuel Conde (Dream Theater) at 2:00 p.m.
(And it’s like going back home again briefly for the “Ganap Na Babae” cast and staff, since the film was also shown there first during Cinemalaya 2010’s Opening Night last year, and another special screening a couple of weeks after that opening night on the same venue after the film was criticized by some media people. Now, the film has somehow redeemed itself with

the positive new reviews that the film’s been getting lately from the critics.***rms.)
Ganap na Babae is a film for women made by women directors: Rica Arevalo, Ellen Ramos and Sarah Roxas. Starring a powerhouse cast led by the legendary Miss Boots Anson-Roa, Cannes’ Most Beautiful Actress Mercedes Cabral, Urian’s Best Supporting Actress Sue Prado and newcomer Jam Pérez. It was the opening film during last year’s Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival and Competition.
Cabral plays a prostitute who bares her soul as a mother. Prado is a devoted sister who prefers to stay in her drought-ridden barrio to take care of the family. Anson-Roa plays a widow who falls in love with a younger man.
Three stories are interwoven to see the plight of Filipino women from the sensitive eyes of three contemporary women directors. Hubo Productions support the different voices of women and aims to expose the complexity of the individual through Ganap na Babae.
The special film screening is part of the CCP 2011 Women’s Month Celebration and is spearheaded by the CCP Gender and Development Focal Point Committee headed by Ms. Chinggay Bernardo, with members Marivic Santos, Nikki Garde-Torres, Gemma Marco and Josie Tabanera.
The screening is on a first-come-first served basis. For more information about Ganap na Babae, please visit http://www.hubo.asia or call the CCP Outreach Division at 8321125 loc. 1708 or the CCP Public Relations Office at local 1114-1117.###
