The annual The Eddys, or the Entertainment Editors’ Choice, organized by the Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors (SPEEd), is happening this July.
The prestigious awards night honors outstanding achievements in Philippine cinema, including performances by actors and work by industry professionals.
Fourteen awards will be given across acting and technical categories, with nominees selected from films released in cinemas and chosen digital platforms in 2024.
A tribute segment will be dedicated to a new group of Eddys Icons—actors, directors, and other figures recognized for their long-term work and involvement in the local film industry.
Special awards include the Isah V. Red Award, given to individuals who provide support to fellow Filipinos in need, and two media-specific honors: the Joe Quirino Award and the Manny Pichel Award, which recognize contributions by members of the entertainment press.
Awards for Rising Producer of the Year and Producer of the Year will also be presented.
SPEEd will again name Eddys Box Office Heroes—artists featured in the highest-grossing Filipino films of the year—acknowledging their role in bringing audiences back to theaters.
Additional details about the upcoming ceremony will be released closer to the event.
The Eddys or The Entertainment Editors’ Choice is considered a game changer in the history of movie awards in the Philippines. Since its inception in 2017, it has easily positioned itself as a significant element of the film industry.
SPEEd is composed of current and former entertainment editors from top Philippine newspapers and online platforms. The non-profit organization, established in 2015, is led by its current president, Salve Asis.
