Festival Filem Malaysia ke-18 (Malaysia's version of Oscar) had ended recently. It turned out to be a very controversial event as there were people voicing out their unsatisfaction over the results, claiming that the juries did not do justice about the film industry over there.

Apparently Puteri Gunung Ledang (PGL) supported by many to be winning most of the awards that they had been nominated for did not live up to their expectations. Instead the film Sepet won the Best Filem.

Honestly Sepet deserve to win the Best Filem if not Qaisy and Laila. I believe Sepet had set itself apart from all the love stories that Malaysia has produced onto a new level. I dont understand why many were unhappy with the outcome..? Just because PGL took millions ringgit to make it, does not mean that it deserves to be the Best Filem,i admit that PGL has definitely improve the quality standard of the film industry there. Unfortunately, PGL has a weak plot, i was anticipating the film before it premiered, since the trailer was superb. But then this was always the case when a film is hype up. Sepet on the other hand, has an outstanding plot that stir a lot of emotions when you watch it.

Nonetheless, if they have the Best Visual Effects award im sure to root for PGL to win that title because it deserves it, with all the rich colors and 3D impose in the film (although it still look fake), so far only PGL has that commercial and international feel to it.

Strange though Qaisy and Laila, should have higher chances then PGL. Its another breakthrough film as well.

Now, apparently they are writing petition to the juries about this. I think thats not professional.

aku tak bisa luluhkan hatimu
dan aku tak bisa menyentuh jiwamu
Seiring jejak kakiku bergetar
Aku telah terpagut oleh cintamu
Menelusup hariku dengan harapan
(namun kau masih) terdiam membisu
