FAMAS Awards

  • Noel Sto. Domingo in Season of the Devil (2018)
    2019 Nominee FAMAS Award
    • Best Original Song
    • Season of the Devil
    Song: "Mula sa ilalim ng lupa". A murder ballad sung by a ghost, a dirge haunted by an angelic presence, or in this case, a voice that can wring amazing grace from even the most mournful of melodies.
  • Noel Sto. Domingo in Season of the Devil (2018)
    2019 Nominee FAMAS Award
    • Best Original Screenplay
    • Season of the Devil
    Much as it's set during Martial Law, this is really about our current political turmoil and how it isn't so much a condition as it is an emergency. Slow cinema has rarely been this urgent.

    For its heartfelt subversion of the familiar tropes of the musical genre to echo an alarm that a country's history of oppression, like the cycling chorus of a song, is now on repeat.

    2018 Winner FAMAS Lifetime Achievement Award
