Eugene Domingo won the People's Choice Award for Favourite Actress for the Philippine entry to the Oscars, "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" (The Woman in The Septic Tank). She bested Vidya Balan of "The Dirty Picture" (India), Michelle Chen of "You Are the Apple of My Eye" (Taiwan), Leila Hatami of "Nadir and Samin: A Separation," and Deanie Ip of "A Simple Life" (Hong Kong) for the citation.
Shamaine Buencamino, on the other hand, bagged the Best Supporting Actress award for "Niño." She defeated Gwen Lun-mei of "The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" (Hong Kong/ Mainland China), Cris Horwang of "Headshot" (Thailand), Mitsushima Hikari of "Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai" (Japan), and Yan Ni of "11 Flowers" (Mainland China/France).
The highlight of the entire awards night was when Eugene Domingo accepted her Favourite Actress trophy together with Andy Lau, the People's Choice Award winner for Favourite Actor. Before giving her hilarious acceptance speech, she held up her mobile phone to take a picture of herself together with Lau.
"I waited 25 years for this," she said as the audience laughed out loud.
