Nora Aunor Tribute Website
List of  FAMAS Nominations for Nora
With the help of our Nora Aunor Yahoo Group, I was able to put together this list of Famas Best Actress nominations for Nora. Almost every year in the 1970's, Nora was a nominee winning her first Famas Best Actress in 1976 for Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos.

In the 1980's Nora's understated acting style was overshadowed by the hysterical type of performance which apparently award jurors prefer. Notice how her outstanding understated performances in Bona, Bakit Bughaw ang Langit, 'Merika, Mga Uod at Rosas and especially HIMALA (not even a nomination) did not merit any Famas awards.

In the 1990's, Nora (I'm guessing) decided to give the award jurors' what they want. The over the top performances in Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit and Andrea gave her two Famas Best Actress two years in a row, elevating her to Famas Hall of Fame.

Her HIMALA performance although not recognized by any of the award giving bodies except the Metro Filmfest is considered by most critics as her best ever.
