INILABAS na ang list of nominees for the much-awaited 2019 Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) Awards kahapon, Marso 18.
Headed by multi-awarded screenwriter Ricky Lee, ang FAMAS jury (binubuo ng movie practitioners, academicians, at critics) ay tumutok sa artistic, creative, and technical aspects of filmmaking.
For two years in a row, o simula ng pangunahan ni Lee ang FAMAS selection committee, naging mala-Urian (ng mga Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino) ang chosen nominees ng FAMAS in the sense that most of them are indie films. Ang FAMAS (on its 67th year ngayong taon) at Gawad Urian (on its 42nd) ang dalawang pinakamatatag (pinakamatanda!) na film award-giving bodies ng bansa.
Ang FAMAS 2019 Gabi ng Parangal ay gaganapin sa Meralco Theater, Ortigas, Pasig City, sa Linggo, Abril 28.
