#FAMAS
wait they need to clear this because it's unfair to both of these actresses. what is a best actress with distinction???
so did maris get that best actress backdrop like maricel soriano did (in frame 3?) to me, it feels like a tie? #FAMAS2026
LOOK: Maris Racal was awarded the 74th FAMAS Best Actress with Distinction for her performance in the movie 'Sunshine'.
Maricel Soriano was also awarded the 74th FAMAS Best Actress award for 'Meet, Greet snd Bye'.
It wasn't declared as a 'tie'.
Maris' award was labelled 'Best Actress with Distinction' and Maricel's was 'Best Actress'. This is the first time that FAMAS gave a 'Best Actress with Distinction' award.
wait what im confused lol

The latest (and youngest) member of this club: Maris Racal sweeping Urian, PMPC Star Awards for Movies, and now FAMAS for her role as the titular character in Antoinette Jadaone's Sunshine. #FAMAS2026
🏆 15 ACTRESSES ONE AWARD AWAY FROM COMPLETING THE BIG 4 🏆
Incidentally, there are also 15 actresses who are just one award shy of joining the elite and esteemed group that swept the following movie awards in the Philippines:
🏆 FAMAS
🏆 Gawad Urian
🏆 Luna
🏆 PMPC Star Awards for Movies
Some notes:
⚪️ These are strictly for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories only. New Movie Actress/Breakthrough/Hall of Fame/Special Awards are not included
⚪️ Surprisingly enough, out of these 15 names, Luna seems to be the hardest to get. 7 of these actresses are missing a Luna—Sharmaine Arnaiz, Maricel Laxa, Anita Linda, Alessandra de Rossi, Gloria Diaz, Odette Khan, and Nadine Lustre. 6 of them are missing an Urian—Caridad Sanchez, Dawn Zulueta, Maricel Soriano, Claudine Barretto, Lovi Poe, and Angel Locsin. Both Zsa Zsa Padilla and Iza Calzado are missing a FAMAS in their mantle.
⚪️ Sharmaine Arnaiz won her three-set special for Saan Ka Man Naroroon. She lost the Luna to Monique Wilson for Kapag Iginuhit ang Hatol ng Puso.
⚪️ Obviously, Anita Linda cannot complete hers anymore. Since 2000, she has been nominated for one: best Supporting Actress for Santa Niña (Hilda Koronel won that year for The Mistress).
⚪️ Probably the most notable name here is Maricel Soriano who should have been an Urian winner by now. She has been nominated 8x by the Manunuri, most recently in 2006 for Inang Yaya. I'm still hoping she wins a competitive one someday.
⚪️ Zsa Zsa Padilla was another close case. She won the Star, Urian, and Luna for Batang PX in 1997. The last one was a tie with Maricel Soriano for Nasaan ang Puso, and Marya ended up with the FAMAS ending Zsa Zsa's grand slam chances.
⚪️ Angel Locsin won 3/4 of the awards for her performance in the MMFF film One More Try. Unfortunately, she was snubbed by the Manunuri.
⚪️ It is understated how quick Lovi Poe got three of hers (in a span of three years). While she is still Urian-less, she was just nominated last year for Guilty Pleasure.
⚪️ Odette Khan also won her three in a single year for Bar Boys in 2017. She was not nominated for Luna that year (Jasmine Curtis won for Siargao), but history could be kind to her as she is eligible for Bar Boys: After School.
⚪️ Nadine Lustre is the youngest actress and the most recent one to join this club. Had a hunch she would have clinched it for Uninvited if there was a 2024 edition, but alas, she would have to work harder to get one!
FAMAS remains elusive for Jericho Rosales as he lost his sixth acting nomination for Quezon. He's 0/6 at FAMAS with nominations for Tanging Yaman, Nasaan Ka Man, Pacquiao the Movie, Baler, Alagwa, and Quezon. #FAMAS2026

In the history of Philippine award giving bodies, only 15 actresses have received individual awards from the Big 4:
🏆 FAMAS (established in 1952)
🏆 Gawad Urian (established in 1976)
🏆 Luna (established in 1982)
🏆 PMPC Star Awards for Movies (established in 1984)
Some notes:
⚪️ These are strictly for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories only. New Movie Actress/Breakthrough/Hall of Fame/Special Awards are not included
⚪️ Nida Blanca is the first one to complete this in 1986 (for film year 1985) as she made an almost complete sweep for Miguelito
⚪️ Nora Aunor and Vilma Santos are the first actresses to complete all four strictly for Best Actresses in 1989. Ate Guy needed a Luna for which she won for Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit, while Ate Vi nedded the Star for which she finally won for Pahiram Ng Isang Umaga. Ironically, Vilma's PMPC win blocked Nora's grandslam that year.
⚪️ Judy Ann Santos is the youngest actress in this list to complete the trophies, for which she completed in 2006. She swept FAMAS, Star, and Luna for Kasal Kasali Kasalo while winning the much-harder Urian two years earlier for Sabel.
⚪️ Glydel Mercado won all hers in the span of one year—the quickest to do so, as she did a Supporting Actress sweep for Sidhi in 1999.
⚪️ Gina Pareño also won hers in a single year, as she swept Best Supporting Actress for Kasal Kasali Kasalo at FAMAS, Star, and Luna. She won Lead at Urian for Kubrador the same year, blocking Judy Ann Santos who plays her daughter in Kasal Kasali Kasalo.
⚪️ The late Cherie Gil is still the latest inclusion in this list, completing hers in 2018. Hers is an interesting pattern—she won her FAMAS and Luna for 1989's Ang Bukas Ay Akin and completed it in 2018 getting both the Star and Urian for Citizen Jake.
⚪️ Save for Glydel Mercado and Lorna Tolentino, all 13 other actresses have also won at the Metro Manila Film Festival (whether as Lead or Supporting Actress).
Easily one of my favorite films this year, Club Kid is heading to the Philippines.
Don't miss this Cannes sensation by Jordan Firstman, premiering here starting November 18!
