Us Girls' August Awards 2011 nominees bared

Studio 23's "Us Girls" has revealed the nominees for its 3rd August Awards (2011) and among the nominees are controversial stars like Marian Rivera, Dingdong Dantes, Heart Evangelista and more.

You've heard the news about Heart Evangelista vs Marian Rivera over Dingdong Dantes, but for Us Girls' August Awards 2011 to be presented next month, they're not competing against each other, as all three of them are nominated in different categories.

Dingdong Dantes is nominated as Most Fashionable Male alongside John Lloyd Cruz, Gerald Anderson, Sam Milby, Jericho Rosales, Jake Cuenca and some other, while girlfriend Marian Rivera is nominated again as Face of the Year along with Bea Alonzo, Angelica Panganiban, Maja Salvador, Jennylyn Mercado and more.

It's already Marian's 2nd consecutive year to get nominated in the said category. During the 2010 August Awards, she got nominated as Face of the Year but lost to Kim Chiu and Kristine Hermosa who tied for the award.

Heart Evangelista meanwhile gets a nod as Most Fashionable Female. Also nominated are Kim Chiu, Rhian Ramos, Georgina Wilson, Isabelle Daza, etc.

Even Heart's boyfriend Daniel Matsunaga is also nominated, but in another category (Bodies of the Year).

34th Gawad Urian Awards (2011) winners

The winners for the 34th Gawad Urian Awards were announced tonight, May 17, 2011, at the Marriott Hotel in Resorts World Manila.

The 34th Gawad Urian Awards has over a hundred nominees competing in only 14 categories.

Rosanna Roces won as Best Supporting Actress for "Presa". It's already her 2nd Urian Award. She previously won as Best Actress for "La Vida Rosa" in 2001.

Joem Bascon got his first Urian award this year as Best Supporting Actor for "Noy".

The Best Actress trophy went to indie film actress Fe GingGing Hyde for the film "Sheika" while Sid Lucero won his 2nd Best Actor award from Urian.

Sid previously won in Urian for the gay-themed indie film "Selda" 3 years ago and he won again this year for another gay indie movie, the Adolf Alix film "Muli".

In "Muli", Sid portrayed a gay role and did some love scenes with Cogie Domingo. Sid posted on Twitter last July 2010 that it's already hist LAST gay role.

Last month, Sid also won for the same gay role during the 8th Enpress Awards.

Sid probably will change his mind now and will accept more gay roles since that's what gives him more acting honors.
