Reaction of Sue Ramirez and Cristine Reyes Upon Announcing Best Supporting Actor Elicits Comments
SUE RAMIREZ AND CRISTINE REYES – The two elicited comments due to their reaction when announcing the Best Supporting Actor award.
During the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Gabi ng Parangal, Ruru Madrid won Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Green Bones, a drama that also earned Best Picture. While the event celebrated numerous achievements in Filipino cinema, including awards for Best Actor (Dennis Trillo) and Best Supporting Actress (Kakki Teodoro), it was the reaction of the presenters, Sue Ramirez and Cristine Reyes, that garnered significant attention and mixed responses from netizens.
After Ruru’s win, viewers quickly noticed the awkwardness of the presenters’ reactions. Both Sue and Cristine appeared to show little enthusiasm or surprise, with their body language and facial expressions perceived as less than supportive. Their muted responses led to comments from netizens who expressed disappointment, feeling that the presenters’ reactions were unprofessional and lacked the warmth expected in such a celebratory moment. Some online users pointed out that their reactions could have been more positive, considering the significance of the award.
Despite the controversy surrounding the presenters, Ruru’s acceptance speech was heartfelt and resonated with many. He shared how his life as an underdog made this recognition all the more meaningful. He encouraged others to believe in themselves and persist in the face of challenges, stressing the importance of staying true to one’s intentions and being a good person. Ruru also took a moment to thank his Green Bones co-star Dennis Trillo for the privilege of working together and expressed deep gratitude to his girlfriend, Bianca Umali, for being his unwavering support during tough times.
The film Green Bones, directed by Zig Dulay, explores justice and redemption through Ruru’s character, Xavier Gonzaga, a prison guard. The film was lauded for its strong performances and went on to win several awards, including Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay.
