The groundbreaking series My Husband's Lover adds another feather to its cap as its director, Dominic Zapata and one of its lead actors, Dennis Trillo, are nominated in the 2014 Asian Television Awards in the Best Direction and Best Actor in a Leading Role categories, respectively.
Just last month, the first gay-themed series on Philippine television, which also stars Carla Abellana and Tom Rodriguez, was nominated for an International Emmy Award under the Telenovela category.
My Husband's Lover was aired from June to October 2013, and told the story of Vincent, a gay man married to Lally, and was secretly having a homosexual affair with his first love, Eric. It won five citations in the 5th Golden Screen TV Awards last March, and was also nominated in the 9th Seoul International Drama Awards a couple of months later.
Direk Dom and Dennis are currently working together in the primetime drama Hiram na Alaala.
Now on its 19th year, the Asian Television Awards is the Asian TV industry’s most significant and celebrated event, recognizing excellence in programming, production and performance. Other Kapuso stars that have been nominated in the previous years include Marian Rivera, Lorna Tolentino, and Michael V.
The winners will be announced at the Awards gala ceremony in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on December 11, 2014.
