Long time no read here. :)
I've bee...Hi Simon:<br /><br />Long time no read here. :)<br />I've been busy directing 2 TV shows and it's quite hectic. I have a month's vacation, so while waiting for the next sched, why not visit your wonderful blog.<br /><br />I remember this Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino. Many movie talents were quite disgusted by some of their policies in selecting the winners, and many insiders in showbiz that time used to joke, calling the group: MANUNULI NG PELIKULANG PILIPINO. I'm sure it was started by some group who were so gung-ho to get an award but never received one. Mga Pikon! He-he. What's more, when some of the Manunuri members directed movies later, the reviews by other critics who were not a member of Manunuri were actually, truly, absolutely – MEAN SPIRITED! Dyadyaaaang. AKIN ANG PAGHIHIGANTI, sabi nga ng titulo ng isang pelikula. :)<br /><br />The whole scenario ended up like a FREE FOR ALL, almost akin to OXO vs. Sigue-sigue. Lol.<br /><br />And this sorta thing really boggled my mind. The Philippines is rather ADDICTED to the VICE of GIVING awards to just about anybody and anything. And because of this, nobody gives a hoot outside the country, even if a performer have 100 awards for best actor or whatever. Outsiders think it's all a joke.<br /><br />They should pass a law to just retain two award-giving bodies in Philippine movies:<br /><br />• The academy awards (where the movie workers vote for their colleagues in the industry)<br /><br />• The critic awards (where TRUE, QUALIFIED, film reviewers vote for the best. No clique-ish critics who are pretending to be high brow. Pag umarteng HIGH-BROW kuno, AHITIN AGAD ANG MGA KILAY NILA! Ha-ha-ha!)<br /><br />If we go beyond these two award-giving bodies, then let's give awards to everybody, including the BEST MAGTATAHO.<br /><br />Oh, di ba? At least, TAHO is genuinely delicious and nutritious, kaysa mga award-award diyan sa tabi-tabi na puro MAMERA lang.<br />:)TheCoolCanadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01196452866916000202noreply@blogger.com
