MAJORITY ng mga nanalo sa acting categories sa katatapos na 11th Golden Screen Awards (GSA) ng Entertainment Press Society (Enpress, Inc.) ay pawang first timers sa isa sa kinikilalang 'most credible' award-giving bodies ng bansa.
Nauna nang nakatanggap ng nominasyon si Vilma Santos sa pelikulang In My Life (2010) at kinilala naman ng GSA ang husay ni Rustica sa Lola (2010) ni Brillante Mendoza. Both actresses lost to Iza Calzado for her sterling performance sa Sigwa ni Joel Lamangan.
Ilang beses na ring kinilala ng GSA ang husay ni Sarah Geronimo pero ngayon lang niya nasungkit ang karangalan bilang winner ng Best Performance by an Actress in a Lead Role- Musical or Comedy para sa It Takes A Man and A Woman ng Viva at Star Cinema. Ito ang first acting award ng Pop Princess. Sadly, she didn't make ito at Teatrino.
Noong 2007, John Lloyd Cruz made it to the honor roll bilang winner ng Best Performance by an Actor in a Lead Role-Drama para sa One More Time. Ngayong taon, nakuha niyan uli ang karangalan bilang Best Actor-Musical or Comedy. Sayang nga lang dahil hindi niya personal na natanggap ang tropeo. Nasa bakasyon si Lloydie sa Cagayan de Oro City.
First ever nomination ni Joel Torre sa GSA ang para epektibong pagganap niya sa On the Job. Nagpagwagian agad niya at deserving talaga siya sa award.
Second nomination naman ni Joey Paras this year. In 2010, he almost made it as Best Performance by an Actor para sa Last Supper No. 3 but lost to Martin del Rosario (Dagim) at Rocky Salumbides (Tariman) who tied for the acting trophy.
Sa 11th year ng GSA, nasungkit ni Hannah Espia ang coveted Best Direction award. Pangalawang lady director pa lang si Direk Hannah to win it after Direk Ellen Ongkeko-Marfil romped off with the trophy in 2008.
Muli ay nagpapasalamat kami sa mga artistang dumalo sa gabi ng parangal. Thank you rin sa aming generous sponsors. Higit sa lahat, isang mahigpit na yakap at walang katapusang pasasalamat sa bida ng Moron 5.2: The Transformation (showing November 5, mula sa Viva Films) at resident host ng annual Golden Screen Awards na si John "Sweet" Lapus. Sweet nailed it again sa ilang costume changes.
