FAMAS Award for Best Picture Film Posters

The Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS), an association made up of writers and movie columnists, bestows the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Awards, or simply the FAMAS Awards, every year to recognize accomplishments in Philippine cinema over a given calendar year. Academy members who are ardent moviegoers, admirers, or enthusiasts vote for the nominees in each of the several categories for which they were nominated. It is the oldest film industry award-giving organization still in existence in the Philippines and among the oldest in Asia, having been founded in 1952. The greatest honor a Filipino filmmaker or craftsman could obtain in the local film industry was the FAMAS Award from 1952 until 1982.

FAMAS was unofficially demoted to secondary status to the Luna Awards, the Filipino equivalent of the Golden Globes, in 1982 after the Philippine government mandated the creation of the Film Academy of the Philippines (Luna) Awards, the country's Oscar equivalent, wherein the academy's members are film professionals who nominate and select the year's winners. Despite this, FAMAS is still highly regarded due to its age and prestige.

Writers and movie columnists who have won Palanca Awards, as well as those who work in the film industry (directors, actors, producers, technicians, crew, etc.), vote on the FAMAS Award for Best Picture, one of the awards given to those in the motion picture industry by the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences Award. Since the inaugural event in 1953, the Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences has given out the Best Picture FAMAS award, which has long been regarded as the most significant and prestigious honor.

The most esteemed choice of the year's top Filipino film is often the FAMAS Award winner for Best Picture. Since the FAMAS is the Filipino equivalent of the Academy Awards, the FAMAS Best Pictures are highly regarded.
