MMFF50 Gabi Ng Parangal: Cooking Show Or Sour Grapes?

Ah, the MMFF50 Gabi ng Parangal—where dreams come true for some, and sour grapes are served à la carte for others!

This year, the “cooking show” allegations are back, courtesy of those who left the awards night empty-handed. Let’s be real: the only thing “overcooked” here is the drama.

While the winners basked in glory, the losers and their supporters simmered in their own bitterness, whispering accusations about a rigged system. “Deserving naman kami!” they cried, as if the judges had conspired to sabotage their magnum opuses. Meanwhile, the snubbed ones staged their own Oscars-esque protests, complete with Facebook rants and cryptic posts.

Let’s call it what it is: sour grapes, served cold. Because nothing screams “sore loser” like claiming the jury’s taste buds are broken. Maybe next year they’ll remember: awards are like cooking—sometimes, no matter how hard you try, the judges just prefer a different flavor. Bon appétit!
