JERRY OLEA

Kani-kanya ng panlasa ang bawat award-giving body. May kani-kanya silang dahilan sa kanilang choices.

Sa 1st Puregold CinePanalo filmfest noong Marso, ang best actress ay si Shamaine Centenera Buencamino (Pushcart Tales).

Ang iba pang nominado ay sina Therese Malvar (Pushcart Tales), Elora Españo (Pushcart Tales), at ang Aeta na si Uzziel Delamide (A Lab Story).

Sa sampung best actor at best actress ng PEP Troika, dalawa lang ang hindi ko napanood.

Pero magaganda ang feedback sa kanila base sa mga napagtanungan ko at sa review ng ng mga nakapanood.

Kaya isinali ko pa rin sila sa magagaling na puwedeng lumaban sa mga award-giving bodies.

Para sa akin, ang frontrunners sa pagka-Best Actor ay sina RK Bagatsing, Paolo Contis, Joshua Garcia, Dennis Trillo, at Enzo Osorio.

Para sa mga kategoryang BEST PICTURE at BEST DIRECTOR, noteworthy para sa PEP Troika ang mga sumusunod:

Kung ina-narrow down sa lima na personal choices natin, heto ang mga in contention: Green Bones, Love Child, Isang Himala, Tumandok, at Pushcart Tales.

Mas content and form ang batayan dito. At yung lumalagpas sa mga nakasanayan nang antas ng paggawa ng pelikula despite the economic limitations and commercial considerations.

Nakaka-proud lang na may mga gumagawa pa ng ganitong mga progresibo at magandang pelikula kahit napakahirap ng balik in terms of investment. Kaya pinahahalagahan natin sila.
