Emilio Garcia (left) and Tessie Tomas were the presentors of the awards for Best Screenplay and Best Screenplay Adaptation, which were won by Boses and Concerto, respectively.

Later that night, Tessie, along with her 100 co-star, Eugene Domingo, received the award Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Mylene Dizon. 

Mylene was not in attenance because she recently gave birth to her second son in Chicago.

Coco Martin, who was part of the film Jay, encouraged moviemakers to make more independent films in his acceptance speech for the award, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. 

He shared the distinction with John Estrada who also won for the movie Caregiver.

Veteran actor Robert Arevalo made a funny remark while accepting the award for his co-actor Eddie Garcia, "Huwag niyo ipaalam na nanalo siya, iuuwi ko na ito." 

These two Fuschia actors were both nominees for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role-Musical or Comedy.
