Charlie Dizon was named best actress for her performance in "Fan Girl", while Paulo Avelino bagged the best actor award for his role in the same film.

In her acceptance speech, Jadaone, who also wrote the screenplay for "Fan Girl", talked about how adults should show the youth who they should idolize.
