“ASAP Natin ‘To” host Sarah Geronimo, on the other hand, was given the Best Female Variety Show Host award.

For radio, GEMS recognized DZMM TeleRadyo as Radio Station of the Year while “Pasada sa TeleRadyo” won Best Radio Program (Opinion or Public Service). The show’s anchor Peter Musngi, was also named Best Male Radio Broadcaster (Opinion or Public Service).

Coming off a successful run in the 2020 Metro Manila Film Festival, the movie “Fan Girl,” a collaboration of ABS-CBN Films’ Black Sheep, Globe Studios, Project 8, Epicmedia, and Crossword Productions, clinched Best Film (Indie or Mainstream) as its director Antoinette Jadaone took home Best Film Director (Indie or Mainstream).

GEMS, an award-giving-body that recognizes outstanding achievements in the fields of print, stage, radio, television, and film, posted the winners on its Facebook page last January 10.
