Actress Anne Curtis said that she still cannot believe that she received her first acting award from the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival for her movie "Baler" with actor Jericho Rosales.

"Pakiramdam ko hanggang ngayon sobrang surreal pa din, hindi ako makapaniwala. Kasi first time ko talaga to get an acting award so sobrang saya ko lang na hindi ko ma-explain," Curtis said.

The actress said that she just went to the awards nights to support their movie.

"Hindi ko talaga ini-expect. Nagulat ako pagtawag sa akin," she added.

Curtis said that while doing the movie she gave her best not because she was after an award.

The actress explained that in all that she does, she gives everything to make her project the best.

"Basta ako kapag gumagawa ako ng movie or eksena binibigay ko na lang yung best ko based on what I can do and what I can give para sa pelikula. Hindi ko iniisip na 'naku pang-award ito,' hindi talaga," the Best Actress awardee said.

In terms of accepting new roles and projects, Curtis said that she is still open and willing to do projects that will really fit her.

"I don't think na it should change anything. Kasi ako as an actress lagi kong tinatanggap yung mga role na hindi safe or alam kong makakadagdag sa growth ko pagdating sa acting. So hindi naman ako mamimilli ng mga roles ko just because I have an award. I mean acting is still an art for me," Curtis said.

Curtis has been in the showbiz industry for almost 11 years. She said that she dedicates her first acting trophy to her family who are always there to support her and her career.

"Alam ko madami din ang na-sacrifice nila para matupad lang ang dream ko to be an actress. So I dedicate it to them- sa mommy ko at daddy ko," she said.

Curtis said that after receiving the greatest gift this Christmas- her acting award- she is going to continue doing her job.

"Ako I'm just gonna continue to do my best and do what I love the most and just go for it. Just keep on acting," she said.

Curtis confirmed that her ex-sweetheart actor Sam Milby congratulated her for winning an award.

She continues to invite the public to watch her first epic movie  "Baler" under Viva Films.
