The Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) has faced backlash for its award selections, with some films and actors receiving no recognition despite high expectations. Social media users are questioning the fairness of the jury process and accusing the festival of deliberately overlooking certain films.
Many social media users are questioning the Metro Manila Film Festival ( MMFF ) awards after some highly anticipated films received no nominations or awards. One example is the film 'And the Breadwinner Is...,' starring Eugene Domingo , which was not nominated for acting but was included in a montage presented as a tribute to departed actors. MMFF spokesperson Noel Ferrer took to social media to defend the jury's decision, stating that there was a fair and sound process.
He emphasized that only the Jury Chair and the MMFF Executive Director knew the results before the announcement. However, online criticism persists, with many claiming that certain films were intentionally overlooked.
