Netizens expressed their surprise when the movie “Uninvited” did not receive any awards except “Best Float” in the recent Metro Manila Film Festival 2024. It is the organization’s 50th year anniversary.
The said movie stars Vilma Santos, Aga Muhlach, and Nadine Lustre. The three did not get any awards nor was nominated in any of the categories.
Content creator Blake Salcedo posted on Facebook his observation about the recent MMFF 2024. His post was titled “Uninvited Was Robbed.”
“The one film that was brave enough to tell the hard truth gets snubbed?! Uninvited was robbed.
Now before anything else, just a disclaimer, I do believe that some of the other winners were deserving (called Green Bones for best picture, deserved) and congrats on the wins.
But you’re honestly telling me that the one film that really pushes the boundary on its social and political commentary gets utterly snubbed? C’mon!
You’re saying that Aga’s visceral portrayal of a powerful, corrupt villain gets nothing?
Gabby Padilla doesn’t get recognized for her heartbreaking portrayal of a devastating reality that still happens to this day?
The story gets next to nothing with how raw and unbiased it went with its message?
Or was it coz all of it hit too close to home for some certain folks? Were folks trying to play it safe for the sake of? 🤔
I rarely get affected by most award show outcomes, but in this case…
Things feel a bit off…
The film’s message is clear.
The response says everything else. ”
Luis reacted to the said post by reposting it with the following caption “Labo , kahit nomination”
