The Worst Of Famas Awards - Best Picture

I choose to feature the FAMAS Awards since it is already an established award a long-standing institution The Filipino Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (and has adequate information) which gives the oldest existing award for the best accomplishments of Filipino films every year since 1952 though it is not comprehensive in scope since the selection committee which chooses the winners for each category were merely prize-winning writers and movie columnists and not widely voted by the members of an Academy which at the same time are also members of the film industry. 

The FAMAS has, with limited success, tried to limit the influences of pressure groups and promotion, box office gross receipts, and studio public relations and marketing on voting results. Due to its limitations, it has also attempted to limit votes for melodramatic sentimentality, atonement for past mistakes, personal popularity, and "prestige" or epic scale, but those influences have often had a decided effect on the outcome of some of the poll results. Unfortunately, the critical worth, artistic vision, cultural influence, and innovative qualities of many films are not given the same voting weight.

Especially since the 90s, moneymaking 'formula-made' blockbusters with glossy production values and big production budgets have often been crowd-pleasing titans (and Best Picture winners), but they haven't necessarily been great films with depth or critical acclaim by any measure. However, in the last decade or so, many Best Picture picks have been modest performers at the box office, while the biggest blockbusters (i.e, superhero films) have mostly underperformed as award winners.


Salabusab (1954) tells the story of two perfectly unmatched individuals of opposite genders with opposite and different personalities and statuses in life who meet and collide and a battle of sexes ensues.



 
Kapag Puso'y Sinugatan (1967) is about unrequited love



 
Ester Paraiso (Lolita Rodriguez) a retired prostitute, runs the Paradise Inn (1985) with help from her own daughter, Daria (Vivian Velez), whom she is preparing for the job, and from influential politicians. Her daughter, however, decides to run away but is later spurned by her suitor and his offer of a respectable life.



 



Please note: The following chart or selections contain possible alternatives (albeit sometimes opinionated and subjective) for some of the awards given throughout the FAMAS history. In some cases, the 'worst' honoree only means that some other more deserving performer or film might or should have been selected.
