MANILA -- Nora
Aunor has once again scored an international award, her fourth for her role as
a Badjao midwife in the Brillante Mendoza film "Thy Womb," this time
from a film festival in Russia.
The 60-year-old
showbiz veteran was named Best Actress at the 3rd Sakhalin International Film
Festival, which was held starting August 23 in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
The news was
confirmed by Mendoza in a text message to ABS-CBN News on Friday.
The Cannes award-winning
director, along with "Thy Womb" scribe Henry Burgos, are in Russia to
personally receive the award on behalf of Aunor.
This latest award
follows a string of recognition for Aunor's portrayal of a midwife who is
coping with her own infertility.
She previously won
as best actress for "Thy Womb" in the Asian Film Awards in Hong Kong,
and the Asia Pacific Screen Awards in Australia.
For the same role,
Aunor was given a special award, the Bisato d'Oro for Best Actress, by an
independent group of film critics participating in the Venice International
Film Festival.
Locally, Aunor's
most recent Best Actress award for the same portrayal was at the 11th Gawad
Tanglaw held Thursday night. She will also receive a Best Performer trophy on
September 3 from the Young Critics Circle.
