'Green Bones,' 'Hello, Love, Again' top 8th EDDYS nominations

Published Jul 1, 2025 11:22 pm
The Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEEd) has announced the nominees for the 8th Entertainment Editors’ Choice Awards (The EDDYS), with 'Green Bones' earning the most nominations with nine.
The nominees were revealed on July 1, during a program held at Rampa Bar on Tomas Morato, Quezon City. The event was streamed live on PlayTime PH’s Facebook page. It featured an exceptional performance by Dulce, along with appearances by actor-philanthropist RS Francisco, recipient of this year’s Isah V. Red Award, and Max Eigenmann, Best Actress winner at the 6th EDDYS.
Directed by the esteemed filmmaker Zig Dulay and based on the original concept by GMA Public Affairs’ senior manager for documentaries, JC Rubio, 'Green Bones' is the story of a soon-to-be-released prisoner named Domingo Zamora (Dennis Trillo), who was incarcerated for the murder of his sister.
His release is put in jeopardy by Xavier Gonzaga (Ruru Madrid), a newly-assigned prison guard who makes it his mission to keep him behind bars. The drama explores the belief that the presence of green bones in a person's remains is proof of one’s goodness in life.
