Dolly de Leon is “super proud” after Iti Mapukpukaw was named as the Philippines’ official entry at the 2024 Oscars. The veteran actress, who stars in the Carl Joseph Papa-directed animated film with Carlo Aquino and Gio Gahol, strongly believes it has a “shot” at getting that first Oscars nomination for the country.

Dolly starred in three of the seven films considered for submission to the Best International Feature category of the 96th Academy Awards. The two others were Dustin Celestino’s Ang Duyan ng Magiting and Petersen Vargas’ A Very Good Girl, which is now showing in cinemas.

“Remember that it’s not your fault, it’s the abuser’s fault. We encourage everyone to seek help, go to someone they trust and love and talk about it. Maybe that’s the only way that they can heal if healing is even possible.” This year, the first Filipino Golden Globe and Bafta nominee was also invited to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences or the voting panel for the Oscars.

During the announcement of the film’s selection, the Film Development Council of the Philippines said it was committing a grant of P1 million to the campaign. In fact, she will be in the US this week for the Hollywood premiere of her Star Cinema film with Kathryn Bernardo on Oct. 4 at the Silver Screen at the Pacific Design Theater in West Hollywood, which will be followed by a wider US theatrical run on Oct. 6. It will also be shown in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Guam and Saipan, Middle East, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Nigeria, an ABS-CBN report said.
