MANILA -- The Society of Filipino Film Reviewers (SFFR) has announced the nominees for the 5th Pinoy Rebyu Awards, with Vice Ganda, Marian Rivera, and Vilma Santos at the top of the list.

The group recognizes the best achievements in Philippine cinema in 2024, with acting categories making no distinction between male and female nominees, as do other award categories. The SFFR regulations also allow for more than five (but fewer than 10) nominees in specific acting categories if actors receive a certain percentage of the total vote.

Members of SFFR assessed all films released in the calendar year in at least one Philippine cinema or on a widely and legally available streaming service between January 1 and December 31, 2024.\

The complete list of nominees can be found below.
