Kikilanin muli ng Gawad PASADO (Pampelikulang Samahan ng mga Dalubguro) ang mga kahanga-hangang aktor at aktres sa mga Filipino movies sa nakaraang taon.
Now on its 21st year, ang Gawad Pasado 2019 awards night ay gaganapin sa May 18 sa Tanghalang Herbert Bautista sa Quezon City Polytechnic University (Novaliches, QC).
Ang awards night at culminating activity ng kanilang National Conference for Teachers. Ang mga kasaping guro ay nanonood at namimili ng kanilang paparangalan taun-taon. Pre-announced ang winners ng academe-based award-giving body na ito.
Headed by officers Clara San Pedro, Dr. Emmanuel Gonzales, and Arthur Pizaro, ang organisasyon na ito ay binubuo ng mga teachers mula sa iba’t ibang universities.
This 2019, igagawad ang pinakamataas na karangalang Dangal ng Pasado Lifetime Achievement Award kay Ronaldo Valdez. Past winners dito sina Eddie Garcia, Gloria Romero, Susan Roces, Amalia Fuentes, Anita Linda, Robert Arevalo, at iba pa.
Ang iba pang mga Natatanging Gawad Pasado special award recipients ay sina: Frank Rivera (Pinaka-Pasadong Guro o guro na nagkaroon ng ugnayan sa arts), Mayor Herbert Bautista (Pinaka-Pasadong Lingkod-Bayan), at Arnold Clavio (Pinaka-Pasadong Mamahayag Sa Larangan ng Kamalayang Pilipino).
Ang bukod tanging naluklok pa lamang ng Gawad Pasado sa Hall of Fame Award ay ang superstar at multi-awarded actress na si Nora Aunor, having won five times as Best Actress.
This 2019, tatlo ang mga candidates for the Hall of Fame category dahil nakaka-apat na panalo na sila: Vilma Santos as Best Actress, Jaclyn Jose as Best Supporting Actress, at Allen Dizon for Best Actor.
Samantala, ipinaliwanag ng organizers na humarap sa press conference noong Sabado, March 16, ang paraan nila ng pagpili ng kanilang winners.
Anila, “academe-based” ang ginagawa nilang point scoring, tulad ng ginagawa nilang honor system tuwing graduation kunsaan may range para sa magkakaroon ng highest honors. For instance, kinikilala bilang "summa cum laude” ang mga estudyante na may grade na 95-100%. Dahil dito, hihirangin nilang winners ang mga ito at pare-pareho ang ranking, kung kaya’t more than one ang kanilang choices.
