The 31st Gawad Urian Awards (Filipino: Ika-31 na Gawad Urian) is held on October 1, 2008.[1] It honors the best Philippine films of 2007. The ceremony is held at the Little Theater, Cultural Center of the Philippines in Pasay City. Given the award body's gradual shift towards honoring more independent films, it is only appropriate that the Natatanging Gawad Urian recognition be conferred to Kidlat Tahimik, a pioneer of indie filmmaking.[2] Sid Lucero ties with Jason Abalos for Best Actor. Lucero accepts the award from his father, last year's Best Actor recipient, Mark Gil. Established in 1976, the Gawad Urian Awards highlights the best of Philippine cinema as decided by the Filipino Film Critics.[3]
