"I Wanna Die!" - Anne Curtis, on Her Very First Acting Award

Another Kapamilya actress has received her first Best Actress award after Angel Locsin had it last month.

If Angel proudly uttered "Aktres na ako!" on her acceptance speech, Anne said "It's my first acting award! I wanna die!"

Anne Curtis, female lead of Viva Films' Baler, was adjudged Best Festival Actress in the 34th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) Awards Night held last Saturday night, December 27, 2008 at the Harbor Tent, Sofitel Hotel in Pasay City.

In Baler, Anne essayed the role of Feliza Reyes, a young, sweet and wholesome Filipina who fell in love with a Fil-Spanish soldier played by Jericho Rosales.

Anne competed against other worthy contenders such as Ai-Ai delas Alas for Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat, Dawn Zulueta for Magkaibigan, and Marian Rivera for Shake, Rattle & Roll X.

Baler took home a total of 10 awards including Best Picture, Best Director and the much coveted Gatpuno Antonio J. Villegas Cultural Award.
