She missed the chance to accept her Drama Best Actress plum for the film “100” from the 6th Golden Screen Awards given by the Entertainment Press Society (Enpress) at the Metro Bar Thursday night, but Mylene Dizon was very happy, according to her co-stars Eugene Domingo and Tessie Tomas, who accepted the award on her behalf.

Tomas reiterated that Dizon’s triumph is the victory of the whole production. “It is our pride that Mylene bagged the award, which she really deserves,” said Tessie in a huddle with the movie press.

Drama Best Actor Baron Geisler for “Jay” was also absent but his director Francis Pasion accepted the trophy, instead, from presenter Ara Mina.

Meanwhile, Gloria Romero, who is still stunning and very much active at seventy five, beamingly held her trophy up high as Comedy/Musical Best Actress for the movie “Fuchsia.”

Romero was serenaded by two handsome singers, Richard Poon and Gabby Concepcion, who sang “Portrait of my Love” and “Iisa Pa Lamang,” respectively.

Entertainment writer Danny Vibas said Concepcion’s rendition of the song was heartfelt and his phrasing studied.

Eddie Garcia, who wasn’t around, won the Comedy/Musical Best Actor for the same film, so co-star and co-nominee Robert Arevalo accepted the award from presenter Jinggoy Estrada.

“Boses” bagged the Best Drama Film, while its director Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil, who’s in New York to attend a film festival, won for Best Direction. Her production staff acknowledged the recognition in her absence.
         
“Fuchsia” clinched the Best Comedy/Musical Film, and its megman Joel Lamangan personally accepted the award.
         
Stage actress Flor Salanga won the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance as the mom of slain journalist in “Jay” while Coco Martin tied with John Estrada for the Best Supporting Actor award for “Jay” and “Caregiver,” respectively.

Estrada was not present while Martin accepted the award from father and son presenters Tirso Cruz III and Bodhi Cruz.

Best Theme Song went to “Babae Ako,” the music of the animation “Urduja,” which was sang as powerfully on stage by Faith Cuneta as Regine Velasquez on film. Ogie Alcasid composed the song. Mon Faustino went up the podium and accepted the award.

KC Concepcion won the title Breakthrough Actress and delivered a long gushy speech, according to Vibas, while Julian Duque was named Breakthrough Actor who personally acknowledged his award for “Boses.”
         
Best Screenplay Adaptation went to Paul Alexander Morales who was present for “Concerto” while Froilan Medina and Rody Vera won the Best Original Screenplay for “Boses.”
         
The other technical awardees were: Best Visual Effects—Robert Quilao (“Dayo”), Best Musical Score—Jourdan Petalver (“Boses”), Best Sound—Michael Idioma (“Ploning”), Best Editing—Orlean Joseph Tan (“Boses”), Best Production Design—Gerry Santos (“Concerto”) and Best Cinematography—Charlie Peralta (“Ploning”).

Special citation like the Lino Brocka Award was handed by Ms. Romero, Celia Rodriguez and Gabby to Anita Linda, who afterwards was paid homage through songs by Luke Mijares, Lance Raymundo and Josh Santana.
         
Special awards went to Jerry Yap, publisher of “Hataw” tabloid, who donated last year’s trophies, and Jobert Sucaldito for producing this year’s awards night.
         
Hosts for the night included Boy Abunda, Bibi Gandanghari, Chokoleit, and Domingo.
         
PJ Valera interpreted the theme song of “Baler,” “Ngayon, Bukas at Kailanman.”
         
What amazed the audience much was Ricci Chan’s doing a solo number “The Hardest Part,” theme music of “100,” like a rocker. Chan is a comedian-make-up artist.
         
Ina Asistio, who came with mom Nadia Montenegro, sang a mellow and felt-version of “Lipad,” from the animation “Dayo.”
         
Other stars who seen at the award rites were Mark Herras, Rainier de Guzman, Emilio Garcia, Yayo Aguila, Ella Guevarra.
