The 74th FAMAS Awards honour Filipino cinema with Maricel Soriano named Best Actress and McCoy de Leon named Best Actor. Maris Racal receives the inaugural Actress of Distinction for her work, as the awards highlight multiple performances and productions across the year’s nominated films.
Across outlets, the event’s biggest sweep is attributed to “In Thy Name,” linked to De Leon’s Best Actor win and recognised in several categories, including Best Picture, Best Director (Cesar Soriano), and Best Visual Effects. The awards also feature “Meet, Greet, Bye,” which is tied in one source to Racal’s recognition, and “Sunshine,” tied to Racal’s Actress of Distinction. One outlet adds that biopics “In Thy Name” and “Quezon” tie for the most awards at the ceremony, placing emphasis on how the honours are distributed among top-winning films.
