The winners for the 34th Gawad Urian Awards were announced tonight, May 17, 2011, at the Marriott Hotel in Resorts World Manila.

The 34th Gawad Urian Awards has over a hundred nominees competing in only 14 categories.

Rosanna Roces won as Best Supporting Actress for "Presa". It's already her 2nd Urian Award. She previously won as Best Actress for "La Vida Rosa" in 2001.

Joem Bascon got his first Urian award this year as Best Supporting Actor for "Noy".

The Best Actress trophy went to indie film actress Fe GingGing Hyde for the film "Sheika" while Sid Lucero won his 2nd Best Actor award from Urian.

Sid previously won in Urian for the gay-themed indie film "Selda" 3 years ago and he won again this year for another gay indie movie, the Adolf Alix film "Muli".

In "Muli", Sid portrayed a gay role and did some love scenes with Cogie Domingo. Sid posted on Twitter last July 2010 that it's already hist LAST gay role.

Last month, Sid also won for the same gay role during the 8th Enpress Awards.

Sid probably will change his mind now and will accept more gay roles since that's what gives him more acting honors.

Sid Lucero, Lovi Poe win Best Drama Actor, Actress in the 8th Enpress Awards

Sid Lucero won his 2nd award from the Entertainment Press Inc. or ENPRESS, the Best Performance by a Actor in a Leading Role (Drama) award for Adolf Alix's gay-themed indie film "Muli" during last night's 8th Golden Screen Awards.

He won over Coco Martin (Noy), Fanny Serrano (Tarima) and John Lloyd Cruz (Miss You Like Crazy).

It was already Sid's 2nd from ENPRESS. He previously won Breakthrough Performance by an Actor for "Donsol" during the 4th Enpress Awards held in 2007.

He is now one of the 10 actors/actresses who have won at least 2 trophies in Enpress Awards' 8-year history.

Cherry Pie Picache, 3 (2004, 2007, 2008)
Judy Ann Santos, 3 (2004, 2005, 2007)
Ara Mina, 2 (2004, 2005)
Coco Martin, 2 (2009, 2010)
Dennis Trillo, 2 (2005, 2010)
Eugene Domingo, 2 (2008, 2010)
Iza Calzado, 2 (2005, 2010)
Sid Lucero, 2 (2007, 2011)
Tirso Cruz III, 2 (2004, 2011)
Zsa Zsa Padilla, 2 (2006, 2011)

It's quite interesting that Sid Lucero won for his role in "Muli" which he declared on Twitter as his LAST gay role.

But it seems like a gay role is the one which usually gives him an acting award. In 2008, Sid also won many awards for a gay portrayal in "Selda".

***

Meanwhile, Lovi Poe was the winner of the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Drama on this year's Enpress Awards.

This Kapuso star won for the Cinemalaya 2010 entry "Mayohan", beating the likes of Bea Alonzo (Sa’Yo Lamang), Dawn Zulueta (Sigwa) and Lorna Tolentino.

It's her first from Enpress but already her 2nd for the movie "Mayohan".

Amazingly, Lovi has won 3 Best Actress awards in just 8 months. She won Best Actress for "Mayohan" in the 6th Cinemalaya last July, then Best Actress for "Sagrada Familia" in the 58th FAMAS Awards in December and another one for "Mayohan" just last night.

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.

Check out list of winners HERE.

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.

Previous recipients of the ENPRESS Golden Screen Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Comedy or Musical are as follows:

Cherry Pie Picache (“Bridal Shower”)
Maricel Soriano (“I Will Survive”)
Zsa Zsa Padilla (“Ako Legal Wife”)
Judy Ann Santos (“Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo”)
Lorna Tolentino (“Katas ng Saudi”)
Gloria Romero (“Fuschia”)
Eugene Domingo (“Kimmy Dora: Kambal sa Kiyeme”)

while Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical winners in the past were:

Aga Muhlach (“Kung Ako Na Lang Sana”)
Eric Quizon (“So… Happy Together”)
Robin Padilla (“La Visa Loca”)
Piolo Pascual (“Don’t Give Up On Us”)
Jinggoy Estrada (“Katas ng Saudi”)
Eddie Garcia ("Fushia")
Roderick Paulate ("Ded Na Si Lolo")

34th Gawad Urian (2011) Nominees List

The 34th Gawad Urian or the Urian Awards is happening on May 17, 2011 and the nominees have already been released.

And as expected, all Best Picture nominees are indie films, except for Coco Matin starrer "Noy", which was independently-produced but was released by major film outfit Star Cinema thus it can't be labeled as an indie film.
