A tie was unheard of at that time, which resulted in accusations of lessening prestige on the part of FAMAS.
After a voting stint at the FAMAS, these future Manunuri members set up the Gawad Urian Awards.
Unlike the other award-giving bodies in the country, it has never been tainted with any accusations of vote buying or scandals.
This distinction made the Gawad Urian a highly coveted award in the Philippine film industry that is only given to the most deserved winners.
In 2004, Ebolusyon ng Isang Pamilyang Pilipino, a landmark Filipino drama, was awarded Pinakamahusay na Pelikula (Best Film) by Gawad Urian, while it did not receive a single nomination from any award-giving body that year.
