MANILA -- Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Montes, and Marian Rivera are among the nominees for Best Actress at the 7th Entertainment Editors' Choice Awards for Movies, also known as The Eddys.

Also vying for the award are Charlie Dizon, Vilma Santos, and Maricel Soriano. 

Nominees for Best Actor, on the other hand, include Elijah Canlas, Dingdong Dantes, Cedrick Juan, Piolo Pascual, Alden Richards, and Romnick Sarmenta.

Competing for the Best Picture award are "About Us But Not About Us," "Firefly," "GomBurZa," "Iti Mapukpukaw," and "Mallari." 

Organized by the Society of Philippine Entertainment Editors, The Eddys aims to encourage local filmmakers, producers, writers, and actors to continue pursuing their passion of creating films that mirror the realities of our society.

Early this month, The Eddys announced that it will honor Eva Darren, Nova Villa, Leo Martinez, Lito Lapid, and Gina Alajar on July 7 at the Ceremonial Hall of the Marriott Grand Ballroom in Pasay City.  

They will also pay tribute to the late comic strip creator Carlo J. Caparas for his contributions to the Philippine movie industry.
