Alessandra de Rossi bagged the 69th FAMAS Best Actress award for her portrayal in the film “Watch List,” as announced by the awarding body in an online ceremony yesterday, Dec. 12.
“Watch List” tells the story of a widow whose husband is a victim of extra judicial killings. She is soon forced to work with the police and other corrupt elements, thinking this could help her protect her children.
Allen Dizon meanwhile won Best Actor for his role in the film “Latay,” which “dwells into the brewing turmoil of an unusual rural couple, where the husband is the awkwardly ‘suffering’ type, while the wife expresses discontent towards their dysfunctional relationship via her violent streak.”
