Some of Nora's films are Bona (1980), 'Merika (1984), Condemned (1984) and Bulaklak sa City Jail (1984). Her 1982 film Himala was even hailed as the Best Asian Film of All Time as a result of an online poll conducted by CNN. This development comes at the heels of Nora's announcement that she plans to return to Philippine showbiz soon.
Maggie Cheung has frequently appeared in Wong Kar Wai's movies such as In the Mood for Love and 2046. Gong Li was also part of 2046 and had a memorable role in Memoirs of a Geisha (2005).

The said online poll also intends to choose the Best Foreign Culture Film of the Decade (which should be created or produced in the United States or primarily for the U.S. market portraying the culture of a foreign country).
According to its official website, the Green Globe Film Awards aims to recognize the power of film to inspire environmental awareness. In fact, the organizers have pledged to commit a portion of the proceeds from the dinner gala to plant over 500,000 trees.
This year, the organizers plan to give a tribute to Akira Kurosawa to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth. The Japanese filmmaker is behind the classic films Rashomon (1950) and The Magnificent Seven (1960).
The awards night will take place on March 23 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

SUPERSTAR NAHULIAN NG SHABU SA US AIRPORT? Sobrang nakakahiya ang binigay nya sa madlang Pinoy.
Pero totoo naman sa botohan magagaling ang mga Noranian kaya sa online voting na lang sikat ang idol nila.
Leonore is not a human being. He is an ugly pig with no right to exist !
Naamoy ko ang baho niya ! Basta vilmanians mabaho sila !
Si Nora pala ang may pinakamaraming Best Actress International Award among our pinoy actors; Cairo, Brussels, Singapore. at na-nominate pala ang lola nyo sa Cannes at Berlin ang bongga naman pala nitong babaeng ito!.
Si Sharon din pala eh may international award din sa movie nyang Crying Ladies Brussels filmfest.
Si Maricel meron din movie na international ang quality yung Inang Yaya. Si Ate Vi naman yung Sister Stella. ito nga lang dalawang huli wala pang international award.
Kung makakasali rin naman ang iba pinay actress diyan, siguradong tatrabahuhin din ng respective fans nila yan noh!
Actually sinilip ko ang site nitong green globe, nakakatuwa ngang mabasa sa list ng nominees ang Filipinang si Nora. Nag-iisang pinoy lang talaga sya duon.
Kung namamanipulate ang award na yan, susme, eh di sana andaming pinoy actors /actresses ang nakasali sa list.
Basta't wag ng pairalin ang inggit at insecurities, nasa list ng nominess si Nora at wala ng magagawa ang mga kontra. Kung di lang sana sila natakot na wag kumita ang pelikula nila eh di sana posible rin na kasali sila sa award na yan. Mas pinahalagahan kasi ng iba ang box office appeal ng movie nila kaysa sa 'artistic merit' tapos ngayon magngangangalngal, huh!
Congratulations NORA!!!
Sagot: Naglalayag Silent Passage in 2004 - a big winner in the Philippines Nora won several best actress awards and abroad big winner in Brussels Filmfest.
Hayan kasi, banat nang banat nang hindi nagre-research. Lumalabas tuloy ang pagkamoron mo. Hay naku, ang mga ignoramus at mga crab-mentality Pinoys - ayaw yata na ang kapwa niya Pilipino ay kinikilala or umuunlad, gusto laging hilahin pababa. Pathetic moron!
Yung mga nabanggit na pelikula ni Guy kasing tanda nya na yun. Noon pa un at malayo na sa dekadang ito.
May Noraniang bulag na pumili sa kanya. 100 million percent yan!!!!
Kahanga-hanga ba?
Online na naman????
Here's the big deal - no Filipino actors, actresses, directors and films in the last decade made it to the elite list of nominees in Hollywood's 2010 Green Globe Film Award - except for Nora Aunor. That's a gargantuan achievement!
Those shortlisted in the Green Globe Film Awards are simply the bests in the field - Avatar, Julie and Julia, Cameroon Macintosh, Meryl Streep, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorcese, etc. and from Asia you have Jackie Chan, Gong Li, among others and from the Philippines, you only have Ms. Nora Aunor.
Internationally istariray si Ms. Aunor, hindi ba? Well, she is; she's deserves it because she is simply the greatest Filipino actor of all time. No question there.
Go Ate Guy! Make some more landmark films when you come back
Perhaps you're a devil disguising as human. Basura ka!
