The Worst Of Famas Awards - Best Actor

Manuel Conde



Vic Silayan



Richard Gomez



John Lloyd Cruz


Below is the list of winners who I think stole the award from a more deserving nominee and/or unnominated actor(s) or were consolation prizes for previous losses or neglect.

Note: In some cases where there is more than one deserving film portrayal, I noted with equally outstanding performance means the winner deserves its award while the others as suggested alternatives in Should Have Won.
