Actor Boy Pkornprom Emotional Over Suphannahongse Award

Actor Boy Pkornprom Chaturaborirak became emotional after winning the Best Supporting Actor award at the 34th Suphannahongse Film Awards for his role in "Flatgirl: The Distance Between Us." After 20 years in acting, he expressed sadness that he could not show the award to his mother, whose final film viewing was this very production. He believes his mother would be proud, and revealed he has won three awards this year from the same film, which motivates him to continue his career.

In his speech, Pkornprom thanked the organizing committee and film production company GDH, saying he was unsure why they cast him in the role of Atong. When asked why he became emotional on stage, he explained that this award holds deep meaning for him. Working with GDH has always been a major career goal, and after nearly 20 years, he finally achieved it. He received two other awards for the same film from the Directors Association and Film Critics Club.

Most importantly, the film was released in February of last year, during the time his mother's health was declining. Despite her condition, she watched the film three times in theaters, making it the final film she saw of his work. He has placed the award in front of her photograph and plans to do the same with this Suphannahongse award when he returns home from the hospital.

When asked if his mother would be proud, Pkornprom's voice trembled as he said he regretted not being able to show her this award while she was still alive, before wiping away tears. After 20 years in the industry, he acknowledged experiencing both praise and criticism, but chose to use both as motivation for self-improvement. Over time, he became more selective with roles that aligned with his capabilities. Though he never expected it, this year's awards—his first year receiving three from a single film—feel like a reward for his sustained effort over two decades. The awards have reignited his passion and provided encouragement to continue working.
