48th Gawad Urian Awards

The 48th Gawad Urian Awards (Filipino: Ika-48 na Gawad Urian) was held on October 11, 2025 at the De La Salle University. Established in 1976, the Gawad Urian Awards highlights the best of Philippine cinema as decided by the Filipino Film Critics. The nominations for most categories are announced on September 5 both at the organization's official website and its official Facebook page. The nominees for Best Documentary and Best Short Film are going to be announced in the last week of September. Leading the pack with eleven nominations is Tumandok, a film from the husband-and-wife team of Arlie Sumagaysay and Richard Salvadico. The film tackles the struggles of the Ati people of Panay.

Notably, Felipe Ganancial wins a posthumous Best Supporting Actor title for his role as an elder and chieftain in Tumandok. Ganancial has died on May 13, 2025.
