  1. ...while Victor Neri won as Best Supporting Actor for playing the activist-middle son in Crying Ladies.

    -Paki update po ito. Sa Filipinas yata nanalo si Victor Neri at hindi sa Crying Ladies.

  2. kung kelan naman talaga naka-arte si sharon, saka dipa ibinigay sa kanya--kaloka ang crying scene ni sharon ng kunin na ang kanyang anak at humikbi mag-isa sa kwarto---versus ke maricel na nakita ng ilang ulit ang ganun niyang performance---
