30th Luna Awards (2012) – nominees list

The 30th Luna Awards (2012) of the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) has released its official list of nominees. Awarding ceremonies will be held on August 26, 2012 at the Quezon City Sports Club.

Kapuso actress Lovi Poe is nominated in both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories for her performance in My Neighbor’s Wife and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow respectively.

Meanwhile, the director of Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story is nominated for Best Director. We wonder who will be credited as director since Tikoy Aguiluz, who helmed the movie, doesn’t want to be credited as such.
