LUNA AWARDS 2007
Film Academy of the Philippines
December 27, 2007

John Lloyd Cruz wins Best Actor in the 25th Luna Awards.

The awarding ceremony for the 25th Luna Awards is yet to be held tonight, December 27, 2007, but the winners have already been announced as early as yesterday.

Star Cinema's Kasal, Kasali, Kasalo has won six out of its 8 nominations including the Best Actress award for Ms. Judy Ann Santos, Best Supporting Actress for Ms. Gina Pareno, Best Director and Best Picture.

Since the Luna Awards is the last award-giving body to hand out awards this year, it can now be said that KKK is the most awarded movie of 2006, a big challenge indeed for its sequel Sakal, Sakali, Sakali, which is currently shown in the 33rd Metro Manila Film Festival 2007.

John Lloyd Cruz, on one hand, gets his very first Best (Movie) Actor award from his role in All About Love beating Urian Best Actor Rustom Padilla, Star Awards Most Promising Actor Sid Lucero and veteran actors Robert Arevalo and Eddie Garcia.

Last year, he received four Best Supporting Actor awards for his acclaimed performance in 'Dubai'.

On television, John Lloyd has numerous Best Drama Actor awards.
