Matatandaang nanalong Best Director sa Cannes International Filmfest si Brillante Mendoza noong 2009 para sa Kinatay; Best Picture winner naman ang Lola sa Dubai Filmfest noong December at naging entry rin sa Venice Filmfest noong October of last year.

"Siyempre, nominations pa lang, happy na ako," banggit pa ni Brillante sa PEP.

Sa nakaraang dalawang taon, magkasunod ang pagwawagi sa Urian ng mga pelikulang idinirek ni Brillante at iprinodyus ng Centerstage Productions: ang Tirador (2007) at Serbis (2008). Nagtamo ang dalawa ng award as Best Film at Best Direction, among other major and technical awards. Subalit hindi nakadalo sa awarding rites ang premyadong direktor at prodyuser dahil sa mga commitments nito sa various international film festivals.

This year ay nasa bansa si Brillante in time for the Gawad Urian rites na gaganapin sa April 29, 2010, sa Cine Adarna ng UP Film Institute (UPFI).

Masaya rin si Brillante Mendoza para sa iba pa niyang kasamahang na-nominate din this year sa iba't ibang kategorya sa Gawad Urian 2010.

Para sa Kinatay, nominees sina Albert Michael Idioma (Best Sound), Teresa Barrozo (Best Music Score), Kats Serraon (Best Editing), Odyssey Flores (Best Cinematography), John Regala (Best Supporting Actor), Ma. Isabel Lopez (Best Supporting Actress), Armando Lao (Best Screenplay), at Coco Martin (Best Actor).

Para naman sa Lola, nagtamo ng nominasyon ang mga sumusunod: Albert Michael Idioma at Addiss Tabong (Best Sound), Kats Serraon (Best Editing), Odyssey Flores (Best Cinematography), Linda Casimiro (Best Screenplay), at ang mga beteranang aktres na sina Anita Linda (Best Actress) at Rustica Carpio (Best Actress).

For his part, nominated si Brillante bilang production designer ng Kinatay at Lola; at bilang direktor din ng parehong top condenter para sa Best Film sa 33rd Gawad Urian 2010.
