Nadine Lustre was among big winners at the 71st Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences (FAMAS) awards held Sunday at the Fiesta Pavilion of the historic Manila Hotel.
The 29-year-old won best Actress for her performance in “Greed.”
Nadine expressed gratitude to the award-giving body in her acceptance speech.
She said, "Maraming-maraming salamat po sa FAMAS Awards. Isang malaking karangalan po para sa bumubuo ng 'Greed' at ng 'Deleter' na makasama po sa mga nominated ngayong gabi. Pero isang malaking karangalan din po na magkaroon nito. Gusto ko po itong ide-dedicate sa lahat po ng nagmamahal at sumusuporta sa akin. Sa buong pamilya ko po, sa partner ko po, sa friends ko, my team. Sa bumubuo po ng 'Greed' and of course to my Viva Films family...”
Nadine also thanked "Greed" director Yam Laranas “for trusting in me, for pushing me and for giving me this opportunity to do 'Greed.' Maraming salamat po.”
