Social media is still abuzz over the recently concluded MMF Movie Festival awards night. It has become the talk of the town due to several controversies and revelations surrounding the winners.

Dennis Trillo was hailed Best Actor for his film Green Bones, while Judy Ann Santos won Best Actress for her movie Espantaho. Ruru Madrid bagged the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in Green Bones, where he starred alongside Dennis Trillo. Meanwhile, Kaki Theodoro won Best Supporting Actress for her film Isang Himala.

However, the awards night was not without its controversies. One such topic is Vice Ganda’s Special Jury Citation for his film And the Bread Winner Is. His acceptance speech became a humorous moment when he admitted on stage that he had no idea what the award was for.

Dennis Trillo also gave a quick explanation about the award he received.

Another funny yet widely discussed incident on social media was the appearance of Eugene Domingo’s photo on the LED wall during a tribute to deceased actors and directors—despite the fact that she is very much alive and was present at the event. As of now, Eugene has not issued any statement about it.

On the other hand, Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo is being talked about after she won Best Actress at the MMF Movie Festival. One of her competitors in the Best Actress category was none other than Vilma Santos. This led many to speculate: Is it true that Vilma Santos allegedly ignored Judy Ann Agoncillo after the event?

We all know Vilma Santos won Best Actress in 2023 for her film When I Met You in Tokyo, alongside Christopher de Leon. Many netizens and fans of Ate Vi expected her to achieve a back-to-back win. However, it was Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo who clinched the Best Actress trophy and title at the 2024 MMF Movie Festival.

There has been no confirmed issue or controversy between the two actresses. No reports have surfaced suggesting that Ate Vi harbors any ill feelings toward Judy Ann Santos. Most netizens and fans of Vilma Santos have seemingly accepted that Judy Ann truly deserved the award and the title, thanks to her excellent and unique performance in Espantaho.

Judy Ann Santos extended her gratitude to everyone who helped and supported her journey to success.
