This is a couple of months late but congratulations to Nora Aunor and Eddie Garcia for winning the top acting awards in the 7th Asian Film Awards held last March 18.
Nora Aunor has been reaping awards locally and globally for her astounding performance in The Womb. Such a shame that she lost to Angel Locsin in the recently concluded Star Awards. In any case, I'm also really pleased that Eddie Garcia, who has won the most FAMAS awards of any person (5 Best Actor, 6 Best Supporting Actor, and 5 Director!) has gotten international acclaim as well. He took the best actor trophy for his performance in Bwakaw. I didn't get to see that film so maybe I'll try to find a DVD of it.
Amazing to think that Nora and Eddie were the only two Filipinos nominated across all categories and they both snag their respective awards. I think it's great that Filipino artists continue to make waves globally. Hopefully this encourages more local filmmakers to try and produce great movies.
