5th Golden Screen Awards (GSA) List of Winners

The Entertainment Press Society or ENPRESS, Inc. has announced the winners to this year's 5th Golden Screen Awards (GSA).

Pisay, an indie film about eight exceptionally gifted high school students set in the politically volatile ‘80s, dominated the 5th Golden Screen Awards by winning 8 trophies, including Best Motion Picture (Drama) and Best Director for Auraeus Solito. The film also won Best Original Screenplay for Henry Graheda, Best Original Song, Best Musical Score, and Best Editing.

Top acting honors in drama went to Cherry Pie Picache for Foster Child and John Lloyd Cruz for One More Chance, while Jinggoy Estrada and Lorna Tolentino, who played husband and wife in Maverick Films' Katas ng Saudi, won top acting honors in comedy.

Eugene Domingo (Pisay) and Ricky Davao (Endo) bagged the awards for Best Performance by an Actress and Actor in a Supporting Role. Both of them are first-time winners in the Golden Screen Awards.

Newcomers Rhian Ramos (Ouija) and Joem Bascon (Batanes) were voted as winners of Breakthrough Performances by an Actress and Actor, respectively. Both projects were produced by GMA Films.

Other winners are Larry Manda (Best Cinematography for Maling Akala), Ditoy Aguila (Best Sound for Kadin), and August Espino (Best Visual Effects for Still Life).

The final voting of the winners was held last Saturday, June 14, at Music 21 KTV Bar on Timog Avenue after a marathon deliberation that took seven hours.


The 5th Golden Screen Awards will be held on Tuesday, June 24, at Zirkoh Greenhills. It will be hosted by Rufa Mae Quinto and John Lapus, with other celebrities expected to attend.

Christopher de Leon is the recipient of the Gawad Lino Brocka Lifetime Achievement Award, named after the famed director who gave the actor the break in the movies.
