EnPress reveals how voting process went

The Entertainment Press Society’s (EnPress) awards night on Saturday, March 24, 2012 at the Teatrino, Greenhills is turning out to be a controversial one.

Broadcaster Jobert Sucaldito is questioning the non-nomination of Laguna governor E.R. Ejercito in the Best Actor category for the movie “Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story.”

EnPress, on the other hand, stands by its list of nominees and reveals how the voting went in the following official statement:

“For the past nine years since the group’s inception, the Entertainment Press Society (EnPress) has been giving out its movie awards known as EnPress Golden Screen Awards fairly and consistently.

“EnPress is proud of its winners’ circle, recognizing both mainstream and independent movies’ achievement without fear or favor and purely on its merits. All nominated movies are duly reviewed and screened and individually scored by the voting members of EnPress.

“For the 2012 Golden Screen Awards, 15 of the 24 regular members participated in the screening. All movies screened are given individual score sheet where members get to all possible categories. Scores range from one (1) or not satisfactory to ten (10) excellent and this will be tallied after all movies are screened and the process of screening officially closes.

“During the screening, individual votes are sacred and will not be known to the other screening members but to the Executive Committee Chairman only.

“There is no deliberation during this process of individual voting.

“With any/every category/individual achievement getting a score between 150 (everyone scoring 10) and 15 (everyone scoring 1), the EnPress Executive Committee peg a rating ceiling between 110 and 120 scores depending on the number of possible nominees. Only those reaching the ceiling scores can qualify for a nomination slot.

“The nominee list is then read by the Executive Committee Chairman for the Golden Screen in a special meeting of EnPress and is approved by the members collectively. The approved nominee list becomes final and official and to this, EnPress stands by its result.

“The EnPress is proud to award its set of winners this March 24, all nominees deserving to win by the high standard the Society has set from the start.

“In good faith, the EnPress is returning the one hundred thousand pesos sponsorship given by Laguna Governor ER Ejercito for the Golden Screen TV Awards last November (for which the society has fully compensated by media mileage given to the Governor and his MMFF 2011 movie Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story).”

The official nominees for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role- Drama in the upcoming Golden Screen Awards are:  Aga Muhlach ("In The Name of Love"), Dingdong Dantes ("Segunda Mano"), John Wayne Sace ("Pintakasi"), Martin de los Santos ("Patikul"), Paulo Avelino ("Ang Sayaw...") and Sid Lucero ("Paglipad ng Anghel").
