Winning most of the awards at the 38th Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF 2012) were the films 'El Presidente' (8 awards), "Thy Womb" (7 awards) and 'One More Try' (6 awards), while the current MMFF 2012 top grosser 'Sisterakas' took home only 2 awards and the 2nd top-grosser 'Si Agimat, Si Enteng At Si Ako' won nothing.

Fan favorite Angel Locsin (for 'One More Try') failed to win the Best Actress trophy, and it's still Nora Aunor who won the award (the 8th time already) for the internationally-acclaimed film 'Thy Womb', while Dingdong Dantes is Best Actor again, for the 2nd consecutive year, this time for 'One More Try'.

Surprisingly, Wilma Doesnt got her first ever acting award when she won tonight as Best Supporting Actress for 'Sisterakas', while Cesar Montano scored another MMFF trophy, not surprising though, winning this year's Best Supporting Actor award for 'El Presidente' (his 6th time to win in the MMFF, but his 2nd as Best Suppporting Actor from the festival).

The most controversial probably is "Thy Womb" not being one of the Top 3 Best Pictures. Best Picture was "One More Try", 2nd Best Picture award went to "El Presidente" and the 3rd Best Picture was "Sisterakas".

The criteria used for judging the Best Picture winner were: 25% - Artistry and Creativity, Excellence, Innovativeness and Global Appeal, 25% - Technical Excellence & Innovativeness, 25% - Content, and 25% - Filipino, Cultural and/or Historical Value.

Aside from the Best Actress trophy, "Thy Womb" also won Best Director, Gatpuno Villegas Cultural Award, Most Gender-Sensitive Award, Best Original Story, Best Cinematography and Best Production Design, but not Best Picture.
