FAMAS records[edit]

In 1973, FAMAS awarded the first tie in the history of Philippine cinema. The tie was in the Best
Actress category, with both Boots Anson-Roa and Vilma Santos sharing the honors. Because a tie
was unheard of, the public dissented the vote.

The longest FAMAS Awards telecast was in 2002 when FAMAS celebrated its golden jubilee.
The awards night, which was held at the FAMAS Awards' original home, theManila Hotel, was
held from 9 PM to 3 AM.

The first major acting award for a role in a "bold" (soft-porn) movie was awarded in the 2003
FAMAS Awards to Aleck Bovick for the movie Tampisaw. (See Restructuring of 2003 above)

For the 53rd FAMAS Awards (2004), FAMAS partnered with the ABS-CBN Channel 2 for the
production of the annual awards night on June 26, 2005. As a result, the show became the first
awards night in the Philippines to be telecast all over the world through one of its international
satellite stations, Pinoy Central TV.

Superlatives[edit]
|(Note: Ms. Vivian Velez already appeared in the 1975 film Andalucia co-starring her with the late
Fernando Poe, Jr. and has an entry in the 1977 Metro Manila Film Festival, Babae... Ngayon at
Kailanman, under Joey Gosiengfiao's direction co-starring her with Charito Solis, Gloria Diaz, Chanda
Romero, Dindo Fernando, Ronaldo Valdez, and Tommy Abuel. So, if she was born on May 21, 1968
(according to her profile at Wikipedia), she was only 7 years old when she appeared at Andalucia and 9
years old in 1977. Her contemporaries were Elizabeth Oropesa (born July 17, 1954), Chanda Romero
(born March 6, 1954), Gloria Diaz (born May 10, 1951), and Alma Moreno (born May 25, 1959). Lorna
Tolentino (born December 23, 1961), Rio Locsin (born May 22, 1961), and Amy Austria (born December
13, 1961) were much younger than her.
Ms. Vivian Velez's birthday could be May 21, 1958 (not 1968), and if we follow this, she was already 28
years old when she received her first award as Best Actress in 1986 for Paradise Inn, and was 24 years old
when was first nominated in 1982 for Ang Babaeng Hinugot Sa Aking Tadyang.
If we then follow the true and legal age of the nominees and winners, it was Vilma Santos (born Nov. 3,
1963) who is the actual youngest nominee and winner for Best Actress for Dama de Noche in 1972 at the
age of 19.)|

Joseph Estrada, Fernando Poe Jr., Christopher De Leon and Eddie Garcia won the award more
than any actors with 5 wins. The four of them are inducted to the FAMAS Hall of Fame. Because
of that, the three of them will no longer be nominated to any award.

Three actors have won the award consecutively. They are Christopher De Leon (in 1991 and
1992), Allen Dizon (in 2010 and 2011), and ER Ejercito (in 2012, 2013 and 2014)
