24th Philippine Movie Press Club’s Star Awards’ Best Actor Paolo Contis felt sorry for a fellow actor who was originally offered his role in Comguild Productions’ "Banal."
Was he referring to Dennis Trillo who begged off from the project because it was reportedly an indie film?
In his acceptance speech Friday night at the Ateneo de Manila University's Henry Lee Irwin Theater in Loyola Heights, Contis said he was lucky to have accepted the role - however second fiddle that he was.
He also dedicated his award to his girlfriend. Isabel Oli.
At the foot of the proscenium stage, Contis was so jolly and was proudly making faces.
2008 Star Movie Actress Ai Ai de las Alas was also jovial when she was handed the trophy but cracked jokes just the same when she delivered her acceptance talk.
She thanked all her co-nominees when she said "…sa kapwa ko nomina…" and abruptly suspended her sentence realizing it was ungrammatical. "Sorry na. Nominees. Sasabihin ko sana, nominated," said Ai Ai who was jokingly annoyed by a jeer in one corner of the hall.
Ai Ai was teary-eyed when she acknowledged the goodness of Someone Above There despite the intrigues thrown her way.
She also shared his award with her children.
Meanwhile, the only hitch on the show was Christopher de Leon’s non-appearance in his duet with Kuh Ledesma.
According to PMPC former president Letty G. Celi, Christopher could have notified the production he could not make the awards night but as the rites progressed throughout the evening he did not send any notice.
The PMPC officers and the production staff had panicked when the song number was already readied and de Leon wasn’t in sight.
But knowing Kuh as a professional, she went it alone with the "Duyan" number.
