Sa isang report mula mismo sa TIFF, inilarawan si Paolo bilang isang “exquisite newcomer” na nagpakita umano ng “dynamite performance.”

Tulad ng pagrampa niya sa red carpet para sa nasabing international film festival, muling ipinamalas ng Kapuso host-actor ang kaniyang galing sa make-up transformation sa awards night ngayong linggo.

Sa naunang pahayag, sinabi ng Kapuso host-actor na pinapanalangin niyang makatanggap ng award, hindi para sa sarili kundi para sa mga nakasama niyang bumuo ng pelikula.

Aniya, “Kung nahirapan ako, mas nahirapan sila, 'yung mga staff namin. If ever na nag-e-expect ako ng award, it's for everyone, bonus na lang 'yung akin."

Maliban sa “Die Beautiful,” bida rin si Paolo sa pelikulang “Bakit Lahat Ng Gwapo May Boyfriend?” kung saan bida rin sina Anne Curtis at Dennis Trillo.

Ang "Eat Bulaga," kaagad nag-post sa kanilang Facebook account para batiin si Paolo sa nakamit nitong tagumpay.

Nag-trending din sa Twitter ang pangalan ni Paolo dahil sa dami ng mga bumati sa kaniyang pagkapanalo.
