    7. Hindi naman kasi movie yung SBQ eh, Documentary yun. Siyempre malakas ang hugot nun sa tao dahil tunay na buhay yon. Naawa sila sa mga gumanap dahil totoong buhay nila yun kaya ginawaran ng best picture.

    1. A LOT OF MY CLASSMATES WHO ARE QUALITY FILM GEEKS LIKE SEKLUSYON. BUT I LIKE DIE BEAUTIFUL. HAHA.

      Delete
    2. Maganda yung Seklusyon pero si Ronnie Alorte lang yung bukod tanging hindi maganda sa movie. Sabaw na sabaw umarte. Pati sa VKJ, siya din yung problema. Sapaw na sapaw siya ni Joshua Garcia.

      Delete
    3. Anon 12:59 I have to agree with you. Jusme! Yung ang gagaling ng supporting cast sa Seklusyon samantalang yung bida nakakainis yung acting. Parehas na parehas lang yung acting niya sa VKJ at Seklusyon. Nastress ako!

      Delete
    4. I saw Seklusyon but for me the ending was wanting. I also felt like there were so many holes in the script and a lot more needs explaining to create a solid story. The four deacons' backstory could have been better told if flashbacks were shown and most specially when it comes to the part of Ronnie Alonte and Rhedd being his daughter. The beginning of the movie was beautiful and full of promise. Cinematography, costumes and setting were perfectly dark and disturbing, just apt for a horror movie.

      Delete
    5. wow naman quality film geeks how to be them po hehehe

  4. Mmff prediction... supporting actress rhed bustamante. Supporting actor. Christian bables Best actress eugene domingo/ irma adlawan. Best actor paolo ballesteros hihihi

  5. Ang galing ng pagkakagawa sa Seklusyon. The movie has a powerful, significant message that was presented in a way that is easy to 'get'. May depth pero hindi mo kailangang maging 'elite' para maintindihan.

    2. 12:15 AFTER WATCHING HALF OF ALL THE ENTRIES TODAY.- Tapos? Sorry di ko naget yung thought ng sentence mo kulang. Gusto ko pa namang malaman yung ibig mong sabihin.

    3. A 9:12, nothing wrong with what 12:15 said. the sentence is just missing correct punctuation.

    4. Best picture and best editing. Hindi naman pelikula yun na matatawag pero inedit para magmukhang pelikula.

  10. Halos lahat ng award napunta sa Seklusyon tapos biglang Sunday Beauty Queen ang best picture! anong kaguluhan ito? para maakit ba ang manonood, nabasa ko sa isang article na 4k lang ang first day gross ng movie. Despite that ok na rin para naman makatulong to pull it up. sana nga makabawi pa in the succeeding days ang Sunday Beauty Queen.

    1. Are you a fan of Ronnie? A fan of Seklusyon as a movie? It's a good film. But have you seen SBQ? I saw all 8. I like all except Nora's Kabisera. And for me, SBQ winning the Best Picture award is well-deserved.

      Delete
  11. Ha? Ang film na dinerehe ng Best Director natalo sa Best Picture?

    At yung Best Picture eh dinirehe ng bale walang Director ganern?

    So, parang best ka sa ginawa mo, pero yung ginawa mo bale wala...

    Seems like the "awards" are being given away to appease the winning director, who also happens to be the most ma-kuda of all, and to give consolation to the best picture, which is a documentary---what?!

    Pati pala sa mga Indie awards eh lokohan rin sila. #seeitoldyouso #walangcredibiltysaumpisapalang

    1. Dude hindi Lang yung ang basehan ng para mag best picture ang isang movie. May mga criteria yan. Maybe sunday beauty queen recieve high scores sa mga judges. And technical side Seklusyon got the highest scores. If you look at Oscars this year Mad Max ang nakakuha ng madami technical awards pero iba pa din ang nakakuha ng best picture. Youre welcome :)

    2. Oscars yun day di MMFF , feeling genius ka naman dyan 2:22

    3. Ngayon ka lang ba nakakita ng awards na magkaiba ang winners sa Best Picture at Best Director? 11:04? I hope bago ka nagcomment e napanood mo ang Sunday Beauty Queen?

      Delete
    4. I don't really want to sound too condescending pero 11:04 matuto ka naman mag-analyze.

      Delete
    5. 1) Logically, 1104 is correct re how Best Direction & Best Picture were awarded.

      2) Having a documentary prevail with the top honor is unheard of even in other countries' film festivals. There is a category for documentaries, simply because technically, it is a different animal from feature films. The flow of the way stories are told are different and there is not much work put into the production of the documentary, in that, you cannot create a script or screenplay for it. You just let the documentary unfold and tell its story, while in a feature film, there is a script, screenplay, it can be edited based on how the director wishes to tell the story. The dynamics are very different.

      So, as a matter of principle, they shouldn't be judged using the same criteria for the same category. What was it that edged the second best picture? Can they clarify why the second best picture did not get the top prize? Regardless of which film it was. How did they measure the failings of the other feature films vs. the documentary that won the best picture award?

      3) All the more it seems that they were "giving away" the awards to validate all the entries as pure quality films. I mean, they can't really award the people in the documentary with best acting awards because they were not acting, right? So, to appease certain groups, they give it an award, the best one at that.

      Perhaps for 2017, they can start revamping and/or regulating the award giving bodies across the board to gain more credibility.

      Delete
    6. Nag analyze naman yung mag comment sa 11:04. Tama naman siya.

      Delete
    7. Wow 1000 AM! Binasa ko talaga lahat ng kinoment mo. I fully agree with you na dapat magkaiba ng category ang docu sa feature films. Kudos for the effort you put in breaking down your point. 👍

      Delete
    8. Pinanalo Lang yung Sunday Beauty Queen para masabi Lang nila na nasa puso ng MMFF ang mga OFW at mga pamilya nila. Kasi yung mga ibang OFW nagpapadala pa ng kwarta para ipampanuod ng buong pamilya nila ng MMFF movies tuwing pasko. Since tinanggal nga nila yung mga movies na pinapanood ng buong pamilya, yan ang consuelo de bobo award para sa mga OFW & families.

      Delete
    9. Hindi naman kasi movie yung SBQ eh, documentary yun. Siyempre malakas ang hugot nun sa tao dahil tunay na buhay yon. Naawa sila sa mga taong gumanap dahil totoong buhay nila yun kaya ginawaran ng best picture.

      Delete
    10. It might not be the norm, pero kung papanoorin mo naman kasi ang lahat ng entries, pinakamaganda talaga ang Sunday Beauty Queen. Of coirse, di sya makakakuha ng acting awards kasi docu nga, syempre may mga technical awards na di nya makukuha rin, like production design, kasi docu nga e. Kelangan mo rin iconsider na 4 na taon binuo ang docu na ito, hindi lang basta basta sinundan yung 5 majn subjects, kundi nagdevelop talaga yung buhay nila through the years. May punto naman talaga na mahirap isabong yung merits ng narrative/feature films sa documentary. Pero sa totoo lang, pareho silang pelikula. At kapag pinanood mo talaga lahat ng 8, iba talaga ang SBQ. Hindi siya nagpaawa sa drama, malalim ang kumplikasyon, may pulitika pero tahimik, almost poetic, ang totoong struggles ng mga subject ng pelikula.

      Delete
    11. @11.59, pero magkaiba pa rin sila dapat ng kategorya. Dahil yung pumangalawa sa SBQ e natalo dahil sa reason na pinagpaguran ng 5 taon. Ano yun? Agree ako sa mga nagsasabi dito na binigay Lang yung best pic sa SBQ para consuelo de bobo pero dapat feature film ang nanalo jan.

      Delete
    12. Bat si na lang binigyan ng special award yung docu?

      Delete
    13. 10:00, thanks for your comment. Because a lot of people do not know the difference between the documentary v. feature films, they think that what the new MMFF committee did was right.

  12. Congrats, Paolo! I'm happy for you.

  19. Infer parang naniniwala na ko na MMFF should be for indie movies talaga para mabuksan naman ang door of opportunities for them hindi yung mga malalaking producers at artista na lang lagi. Kumikita din naman ang malalaking players even without MMFF. Sana lagi nang Indie festival every year!

    1. It will also widen our perspective when it comes to Filipino films. In a way, matututo ang tao kung ano any may kalidad at wala.

    2. Mas maganda gumawa sila ng sarili nilang fest like Indie Film Festival kasi sa totoo lang first time kung di nanood ng sine sa MMFF mas bet ko pa rin mainstream movies

      Delete
    3. MMFF was organized primarily to RAISE FUND to support the different organizations whose concerns are to help the film industry. With regards to quality film , me FAMAS , URIAN and other award giving bodies . Iba ang objective ng bawat isa kaya hinde dapat maging batayan sa MMFF ang kalidad ng pelikula.

    4. 11:26 AND 11:57 - TAMA. ITAAS ANG KALIKAD NG PELIKULANG PILIPINO. NO TO BASURA FILMS PLEASE!

    6. 12:09. Ano pinagsasabi mo? This is the best chritsmas gift of mmff to the filipinos. Keep it up. Wag pa pressure sa big movie producers.

    10. ngayon lang din ako nanood ng mmff, maganda kase line up. no offense sa mahilig sa mainstream (star cinema) movies, pero aside from predictable and corny ng story lines nila, hindi din maganda mga gawa. meron din naman na ok pero madalang na ngayon

  20. certainly, not the right entry of Ms Nora Aunor who is acknowleged the mmff queen. Better luck next time. She should scrutinize well the screenplay and story

    1. Why it's always a big deal if Ms. Nora didnt win? Remember Meryl Streep lost a lot of time to younger and newer actresses at the Oscars. Give chance and recognize other talented actresses

      Delete
    2. True 12:05AM. Di naman porket veteran na si Ms. Nora eh sya na lang lagi. Yes, yung galing sa pag arte anjan yan, pero isang factor din yung story ng pelikula.

      Delete
    3. Nora has nothing to prove anymore. She was there at the golden era of the mmff. My wish is for Nora to fix her long delayed vocal chords and also yes, be selective in her roles by looking at good stories.

    27. 2:38 ate kasi sana hindi mo na sinabing "pure girl". minsan may mga naooffend. think before you click po, choose the right words. para iwas away at bash na rin. pero try mo ding i watch yung die beautiful, maganda sya and sense talaga yung film, hindi mo masasabing basura film. kung di mo trip, it's ok, just like other people here, hindi nila trip ang VKJ.

    4. I watched Oro twice. Affected ako nang one week mula premier night. Umulit pa ako. Affected ulit. It lingers. Oro nga bet ko for Best Film

      Delete
    5. Oro is good. Hindi lang siya retelling ng isang true-to-life story. Pati yung values mo--ano ba mas importante, buhay ng tao kesa sa buhay ng hayop o ng kalikasan?--mapapatanong ka rin.

      Delete
  25. Have seen Sunday Beauty Queen, Die Beautiful and Seklusyon so far. Next is Oro. And based on the winners above, my gut feel seems working for me. Sunday Beauty Queen, a documentary, winning Best Picture is a first in MMFF if I am not mistaken. OFW phenomenon and as a topic for popular culture has been with us for decades but the movie has made it current once again.

    1. I think magaling talaga si Barbs pero magaling pa rin si Paolo. Una, magkaiba yung ginampanan nila--main vs supporting (a very important supporting role naman). Pangalawa, mas "exposed" na kasi tayo kay Paolo while kay Christian (kunwari close kami, 1st name basis...lol) medyo fresh yung datingan nya. All in all, maganda naman yug nagig combo nina Trisha at Barbs so wag na lang natin i-compare. Hehe...✌

  29. Well deserve lahat ng winners. Kay Phoebe medyo nagulat ako, akala ko kasi makukuha ni Mercedes pero ok lang mukhang may credibility at hindi favoritism ang awards ngayon. At deserve ni Rhian ang star of the night. Hehe.

  30. namakyaw ang seklusyon but at the end of the day ayon ang Sunday Beauty Queen ang panalaong best picture. Well, enough said ibigay na lang yan so at least could help boost its ticket sale. Sayang naman if hindi kumita. Sana lahat ng pelikula kumita this MMFF.

    2. 1:50. Maganda naman din talaga ang sunday beauty queen.

    3. But for those who have watched the 8 films ranked sunday beauty queen as their number 1 movie. So maybe may something naman talaga dun kaya naging best picture.

    4. 12:18 and 1:50 Are you a fan of Ronnie? A fan of Seklusyon as a movie? It's a good film. But have you seen SBQ? I saw all 8. I like all except Nora's Kabisera. And for me, SBQ winning the Best Picture award is well-deserved.

  33. Congratulations to the winners they truly deserved the awards!!!

    Binalik lang naman nila ang MMFF during the Golden Age of the Ph film industry na mostly ang mga pasok na films ay from Lino Brocka, Mike de leon, Ishmael Bernal, Marilou Diaz-Abaya, and other film geniuses. Kulang pa nga eh, mas bongga and more profound nga yung mga movies na yun compared sa ngayon, so there's no way na para sa ibang venue ang mga indie flicks. I also wonder why most of the bitterness only goes to the indie flicks because Vince, Kath, and James was included, so the MMFF committee wasn't biased at all.

    Just accept this fabulous change. This is our country's version of Cannes, Venice, Tokyo, Locarno, Berlin, film festivals etc. although it's not international yet. At least, we're representing our country right. This will pave the way to a worthier, more thought-provoking, and more diverse movie industry. Many are supporting it, so I highly believe that the giant producers like Mother Lily, etc. will level-up their game. I'm very hopeful about it. Kudos again to the committee for the change that came to the MMFF! :)

  40. Yung star cinema buti dalawa ang sinalang na film, yung isa reject yung isa pasok. Daming kinita ha. Kaya yung ibang film outlets jan dapat damihan yung gagawin next year, tapos yung deserve pumasok, di yung mema lang.

  41. Asan na yung mga nagsabing dokyu daw yung sunday beauty queens? O ano? Best film ha kaya nga sabi ko magandang ipapanood yan sa kabataan lalo na kung nasa abroad mga magulang.

  42. So happy for the results. Although, I am rooting for Rhed Bustamante as Festival Film Actress. Hindi ko pa kasi napapanood yung ORO but I am planning to watch that.

    Congrats MMFF and to all the winners.

  45. Ang weird ng biglang may Children's Choice award. Jury's choice ang buong awards night, tapos biglang may isang isiningit na people's choice. Maipilit lang.

  50. Dapat ngayon pa lang maghanap na o magpagawa na ng mahusay na script sina Vice Ganda, Coco Martin at Vic Sotto para sa 2017 MMFF. Hindi puwedeng paspasan ang shooting para lang makahabol sa festival. Puwede namang nakakatawa ang movie na super high quality at maipagmamalaki. Let's face it, napakasama at napakababaw ng mga pelikula lately ng tatlong blockbuster stars na ito lalo na ang Super Parental at Enteng Kabisote na talaga namang umikot at uminit ang ulo ko sa kapangitan. Pero gusto kong makita sila one day na kasama ulit sa MMFF na may makabuluhan at tunay na maipagmamalaking entries na magpapasayang tunay sa sambayanan at hahakot ng pera at awards. Nakakagawa naman ng comedy or fantasy na first-rate at kayang-kaya naman gaya ng Kimmy Dora 1, Booba, Bulong, Estong Tutong, Takbo Peter Takbo, Mang Kepweng 1 (Chiquito original), Omeng Satanasia (Dolphy), Ibong Adarna (Dolphy), Pedro Penduko (Ramon Zamora), ZsaZsa Zaturnah, Panday (FPJ), Feng-Shui, Jack & Jill, Blusang Itim, Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang, at marami pang iba.

  52. While watching Die Beautiful in Cinema, I already said that Christian Bables deserves an award, and then result came out, he did win. Truly deserving.

  53. Bkit pag si Nora Aunor talo, its a big deal? Di nyo b alam n even the great Meryl Streep had 20+ nominations sa oscars but won twice p lang? That means madami din syang talo. At least si Nora, sya ang winningest actress sa mmff!

  55. Kelan kaya bibitawan ni Anet Gozon ang GMA films nang bumalik ang Glory days ng GMA films. Sa Pusod ng Dagat, Deathrow, Saranggola, Jose Rizal, Muro Ami etc. Di lang critically acclaimed films, box office hits din.
    Now's the chance ngayong nagbago n takbo mg MMFF.
