MANILA,
Philippines — Veteran Nora Aunor was nominated anew for the Best Performance of
an Actress award in the 8th Asia Pacific Screen Awards for her role as a human
trafficker in Joel Lamangan’s political-drama film, “Hustisya”.
Aunor’s nomination
was announced Tuesday in a ceremony at the Treasury Casino and Hotel in
Brisbane, Australia.
This is Aunor’s
second nomination accorded to her by the Asia Pacific Screen Academy after she
was nominated and won the Best Actress award for her performance in Brillante
Mendoza’s “Thy Womb” in 2012.
Aunor will be
competing with Ronnit Elkabetz from Israel, Lü Zhong from China, Tang Wei from
China and Merila Zareie from Iran.
Aside from Aunor,
Giancarlo Abrahan was also nominated for the Best Screenplay award for his film
“Dagitab” (Sparks).
“Hustisya” and
“Dagitab” were both screened during the 10th Cinemalaya Independent Film
Festival last August.
The Asia Pacific
Screen Awards is touted the “Oscars of the Pacific” where it recognizes
cinematic excellence in the “world’s fastest growing film region”.
The winners will
be announced in an Awards Night in Australia on December 11.
