The Gawad Urian Awards are annual film awards in the Philippines, presented since 1977 by the Manunuri ng Pelikulang Pilipino (Filipino Film Critics), an organization comprising film critics, writers, and scholars. Regarded as one of the most prestigious and respected film awards in the country, the Gawad Urian is known for its rigorous selection process and emphasis on artistic merit, standing apart from more commercially driven award shows. The awards aim to examine Filipino films, bolster interest in the local film industry, and celebrate achievements that define good Filipino cinema.
