Following the other Piala Citra winner, the film JEMARI YANG MENARI DI ATAS LUKA-LUKA won the Best Short Film category. After that, a tense moment occurred during the announcement of the nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay.

This happened because there were only two nominations for this category. Not only that, for the nominees in this category, there were two famous directors competing, namely Ernest Prakasa and his wife, Meira Anastasia, as the writers of the film IMPERFECT, competing with Joko Anwar for the film RATU ILMU HITAM.

2. Unable to Attend

The victory was finally achieved by Ernest Prakasa and his wife, and this award became their first Piala Citra this year. However, unfortunately, Ernest and Meira could not attend as they were still in Bali and had to be represented.

3. Other Winners
