Controversies

During the awards night, many were surprised after Coney Reyes won the Best Actress award for the movie Bago Kumalat ang Dugo and Anthony Alonzo is given the Best Actor award for the same movie, besting acting greats Charito Solis, Phillip Salvador, and Vic Silayan, who were all in the movie Karnal.[4] In addition, juror's standards of giving Willie Milan the Best Director award against Lino Brocka is questioned.[5]
