Ceremony Information
Disappointment towards the Best Picture
During the "Gabi ng Parangal" held at the PICC Plenary Hall on December 27, Cesar Montano, while receiving the Best Actor award, expressed his disappointment that his film, Bagong Buwan did not win the Best Picture award.[5][6] He states: "For me, Bagong Buwan is still the best picture. No offense meant, but for others, Yamashita may be the best picture. Kanya-kanya 'yan. Wala nga lang kaming trophy. Bibili na lang kami ng trophy sa Recto. (To each his own. We just don't have a trophy. We'll just buy one in Recto)", referring to a strip on C.M. Recto Avenue in Manila notorious for manufacturing fake diplomas, certificates and trophies.[3]
