Lights set. Sound check. List ready. This is another moment when history repeats itself in various angles, yet never sounds redundant. MMA 2012 nominees have just been revealed the other week and voting procedures are available at www.myxph.com. The Awarding Ceremonies will be on March 13 at the Music Museum. And before the epic event commence, here are the nominees, corresponding predictions, and personal views on some selected categories.
Music Video
‘20/20’ – Pupil (Director: Jason Tan)
‘Gaano Ko Ikaw Kamahal’ – Itchyworms (Director: King Palisoc)
‘Hey Daydreamer’ – Somedaydream (Director: Bianca King and Enzo Valdez)
‘Pangarap Lang Kita’ – Parokya ni Edgar feat. Happee Sy (Director: Avid Liongoren)
‘Pera Pera’ – Sandwich (Director: Marie Jamora)
What might win: ‘Hey Daydreamer’ – Somedaydream
What I want to win: ‘20/20’ – Pupil
‘20/20’ should win this one but Bianca King and the rest of the ‘Hey Daydreamer’ team have all the popularity advantage right at this moment when the rest of its rivals are nearly forgotten already - except for Parokya ni Edgar and Happee Sy’s ‘Pangarap Lang Kita’ being the closest opponent for the stint.
Song
‘20/20’ – Pupil
‘Ako Na Lang’ – Zia Quizon
‘Hey Daydreamer’ – Somedaydream
‘Pangarap Lang Kita’ – Parokya ni Edgar feat. Happee Sy
‘Walang Natira’ – Gloc-9 feat. Sheng Belmonte
What might win: ‘Hey Daydreamer’ – Somedaydream
What I want to win: ‘20/20’ – Pupil
I wish that I could see the world thru your eyes (‘20/20’), I believe, is the best OPM lyrics for the past year. But then again, ‘Hey Daydreamer’ is one hell of a freak out. ‘Pangarap Lang Kita’ is likewise a burning underdog.
Artist
Christian Bautista
Gloc-9
Parokya ni Edgar
Somedaydream
Yeng Constantino
Who might win: Somedaydream
Who I want to win: Christian Bautista
It’s a clear fight between Parokya and Somedaydream though Yeng Constantino might as well earn this same award she bagged previously.
Female Artist
Karylle
Kyla
Sarah Geronimo
Yeng Constantino
Zia Quizon
Who might win: Sarah Geronimo
Who I want to win: Kyla
No-to-Sarah campaign is still alive. Sarah Geronimo unreasonably wins this spot for three consecutive years until last year when Yeng Constantino swept the entire poop princess’ dirt up. Meanwhile, the other two nominated siblings are utterly insignificant for the match right now.
Male Artist
Bamboo
Christian Bautista
Gloc-9
Sam Concepcion
Somedaydream
Who might win: Somedaydream
Who I want to win: Christian Bautista
Rez Toledo won’t go home with nothing. But I’m still eager for Xtian Bautista who’d been a consistent nominee for this award for years but never won, not even once.
Group
Itchyworms
Parokya ni Edgar
Pupil
Slapshock
Sponge Cola
Who might win: Pupil
Who I want to win: Pupil
Fingers crossed for Pupil winning this. But doubts still fill my thoughts with Parokya (the previous winner) on the side. Plus, Sponge Cola is also a colossal threat.

I think it’s a clear surge and hype for Pupil (5 nominations), Somedaydream (6 nominations, including Fave Guest Appearance for Jasmine Curtis-Smith in ‘Hey Daydreamer’ vid), and Parokya ni Edgar (6 nominations, including Fave Guest Appearance for JM De Guzman in ‘Pangarap Lang Kita’ vid) this year.
Best hopes for all the nominees.
