Angelica Panganiban, Best Actress (Comedy/Musical) at Enpress Awards 2011

Angelica Panganiban has won Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Musical or Comedy in the 8th ENPRESS Golden Screen Awards for Movies held last night, April 2, 2011, at the Teatrino Promenade Greenhills.

Angelica won for her outstanding portrayal as the virginal bride turned screaming "gay" in the 2010 box-office hit "Here Comes The Bride".

She deserves the award. When I saw the movie, I already predicted she'll win honors for that Chris Martinez film.

Angelica was able to beat nominees such as Ai Ai de las Alas (Ang Tanging Ina, Last Na ‘To), Toni Gonzaga (My Amnesia Girl) and her co-stars in the movie Eugene Domingo and Tuesday Vargas.

Also winning for Here Comes The Bride is John Lapus as Best Actor in a Leading Role for Comedy or Musical.

It was the first time for both Angelica and John to win an ENPRESS award.

At 24, Angelica is actually the youngest to win in that category.
