2009 Box Office Entertainment Awards


The 40th Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation Box Office Entertainment Awards is a part of the annual awards in the Philippines held on June 21, 2009. The award-giving body honors Filipino actors, actresses and other performers' commercial success, regardless of artistic merit, in the Philippine entertainment industry.
The yearly event is supposed to be 39th this year, but they believe that it is an unlucky number. Thus they skipped the 39th and renamed the event the 40th instead.

Winners selection

The winners are chosen from the Top 10 Philippine films of 2008, top-rating shows in Philippine television, top recording awards received by singers, and top gross receipts of concerts and performances.

On June 21, 2009 at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue in Makati City, Philippines, the 40th Box Office Entertainment Awards night was held. The event was then aired on June 28 on ABS-CBN.
