JERRY OLEA:
Gaganapin ang revamped Luna Awards sa Disyembre 10, 2026 Huwebes, sa Manila Hotel.
Bahagi ng Facebook post ng The Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) nitong Nobyembre 13, 2026, Biyernes:
“After a two-year absence, the Luna makes its comeback.
“The 41st Luna Awards will be held on December 10, 2026, covering films eligible from October 2025 to September 2026.
“This adjusted eligibility period marks the transition of the Luna into the capstone awards of each film year, moving away from the previous practice of honoring only films released in the preceding calendar year.
“The change allows the awards to recognize the films currently being experienced, discussed, and celebrated.”

LUNA AWARDS: MOVIES THAT DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT
Ibig sabihin, ligwak sa botohan ang 2025 Filipino films na Sunshine (Maris Racal), Only We Know (Charo Santos, Dingdong Dantes), How to Get Away from My Toxic Family (Richard Quan, Susan Africa, Zanjoe Marudo), In Thy Name (McCoy de Leon), Magellan, Some Nights I Feel Like Walking, at Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea.
Hindi rin eligible ang Phantosmia, Everything About My Wife, The Caretakers, My Love Will Make You Disappear, Sinagtala, Un-Ex You, Samahan ng mga Makasalanan, at Untold.
Hindi rin kasama ang Isolated, In Between, The Last Goodbye, ConMom, Isang Komedya sa Langit, Cheat Day, Flower Girl, Unconditional, Lasting Moments, P77, Lola Barang, Meg & Ryan, Posthouse, Mudrasta: Ang Beking Ina, Outside de Familia, 100 Awit para kay Stella, The Ride, at iba pa.
Laglag din siyempre ang official entries ng 2nd Puregold CinePanalo na Salum, Tigkiliwi, Olsen’s Day, Journeyman, Fleeting, Co-Love, at Sepak Takraw. Ipinalabas ang mga ito noong Marso 14-Abril 1, 2025.
Dagdag ng FAP: “In as much as the new Film Academy is embracing evolution, it also acknowledges that film years 2024 and 2025 were skipped and it would be remiss in acknowledging the exemplary cinematic merits of those years:
“This year's Luna Awards will include selected citations of outstanding cinematic works during those years and will be awarded on the same evening.”

LUNA AWARDS VOTING SYSTEM
NOEL FERRER:
Pahayag pa ng Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) kaugnay sa 41st Luna Awards: “The revamp also introduces a new Academy voting system.
“It begins with a citation stage, in which eligible films are cited by selected film critics, industry leaders, academics, film organizations, cultural agencies, and other award-giving bodies.
“These citations form the shortlist for the nomination process.
“Registered members of the guilds under the Film Academy then vote within their sectoral categories using the Single Transferable Vote (STV) preferential system, with the Droop quota formula determining the official list of nominees.”
Noong Nobyembre 12, Huwebes, nagsara ang nominations sa Film Academy portal. Mahigit 2,000 members ng Academy's guilds ang nag-participate. Ang final round ng Academy voting ay ia-announce sa lalong madaling panahon.
