Ang English translation sa citation na isinulat ni Antonio D'Amore, “Intense, complicated, painful, but still credible, even in the barely hinted nuances, the interpretation of Allen Dizon in AbeNida is a very successful manifestation of true art.
“The construction of the torment and tormented daily life of a man broken by lost passions, by love betrayed to faith denied, is in a fresco of skilled chiaroscuro, which the actor outlines without ever slipping into exaggeration.
“The hints of lucid madness and crazy lucidity is entrusted to a skillful and silent mimicry, which evokes ancient oriental theater traditions, however revealing the great work of preparations of an actor with crystalline talent."
Ang Humphrey Bogart Award ay ipinagkaloob ng IFF23 para sa best leading actor in a foreign film.
Ang Lauren Bacall Award o best foreign film leading actress ay nakamit ng Iranian actress na si Parinaz Izadyar para sa pelikulang Bone Marrow.
“It’s Allen Dizon’s 50th acting award so far. His 12th International Best Actor to date, this time for Louie Ignacio’s Abenida written by Ralston Jover under Baby F. Go BG Productions International,” Facebook post ng manager ni Allen na si Dennis Evangelista.

Wala sa nasabing awards night si Allen. Ang tumanggap ng tropeyo on his behalf ay si Benjamin Vasquez.
“Special thanks also to our Italian friend Roby Borraccia for being with Benjamin and taking photos and video during the award ceremony,” post pa ni Dennis.
Co-stars ni Allen sa AbeNida sina Katrina Halili, Gina Pareño, Joel Lamangan, Leandro Baldemor, Vince Rillon, at Ina Alegre.
“Malaki ang hirap ko sa AbeNida. Kasi, talagang inaral ko iyung pinagbasehan ng karakter ko,” pahayag ni Allen sa PEP Troika nitong Agosto 4, Biyerne ng hapon, via Messenger.
“As a mentally disturbed sculptor, inaral ko yung pag-uukit at mga galaw niya. Nag-immerse talaga ako. Salamat Kay Direk Louie sa guidance niya.
“Mabigat yung role pero laging nakatanim sa isip ko na dapat huwag OA para malalim ang pagganap at hindi inaakting na baliw.
“First time ko rin lumakad nang hubad sa ulan. Ganda ng shot ni Direk. Salamat sa award, nakaka-inspired.
“Nagbubunga yung pagod namin. Thanks BG Productions.”
GORGY RULA:
Matagal nang namamayagpag sa mga international film festival si Allen Dizon, maging sa local award-giving bodies.
Nag-best actor siya sa 38th Gawad Urian para sa Magkakabaung (2014).
Nasa Hall of Fame na siya ng FAMAS bilang best actor, ganoon din sa Gawad PASADO.

Nakalimang best actor na siya Gawad Tanglaw.
Pinarangalan din siya bilang FDCP Camera Obscura Awardee, at Most Outstanding Kapampangan Awardee in the fields.
Napansin na namin noong tila hindi agad nape-penetrate ng premyadong aktor ang mainstream. Bihira lang siya napapasama sa mga drama series, at mainstream movies.
Sinasabi naman ni Allen na masaya na siya sa mga indie films na ginagawa niya dahil dito raw napipiga ang pag-arte niya.
Pero ngayon ay ang ganda ng role niya sa toprated afternoon drama ng GMA-7 na Abot Kamay na Pangarap. Mabigat ang role niya rito bilang si Dr. Carlos Benitez na may spark ang tandem nila ni Lyneth na ginagampanan naman ni Carmina Villarroel.
Sana, tuluy-tuloy na sa mainstream si Allen Dizon.
