From Araneta Coliseum to Araneta Coliseum. Thousands have tried their luck to audition for Artista Academy but only 75 moved on to the next round and battled for the 1st time in their 1st live exam wherein only 16 scholars have chosen to compete for the title Best Actor and Actress of the said show. Every week, each student was eliminated one by one until top 6 of Honorlist were determined.

Last night was the show's finale, The Artista Academy Awards Night. That night, Top 6 students had showcased their talents in Singing, Dancing, and Acting (via short films) for the last time. Each scholar gave their best of their best shot to win because only 2 will be chosen.

Having said that, Sophie Albert became the first performer, then next is Vin Abrenica, followed by Chanel Morales, Mark Neumann, Shaira Mae and last performer was Akihiro Blanco.

We all witnessed that night not just the individual performances of the scholars but also the most lovable love teams. I'm sure the netizens, the fans and the viewers are going to miss the SoVin, AkiNel and ShaRk loveteams for a while as the show has finally ended last night, but as it was introduced last night, 14 scholars will be having an oriented show called "Forever Barkada".

Artista Academy: Final Exam (Highlights)

Final Exams' theme was "Major Impact" meaning the students must leave a major impact through a short film that will be done to showcase their acting skills individually with the same scenario plus accompanied with 2 most respected and multi-awarded artists; with the Girls is Mr. Tirso Cruz III and for the boys with Ms. Nora Aunor.


The Girls

The Short film was about a daughter named Denise who recently found out that her dad (Mr. Tirso Cruz III) is seeing another woman. There was a confrontation between the daughter and her Daddy but in the end, Denise found out that her Mom knew her Dad's infidelity.


The Critics have seen that Major Impact to Sophie Albert as Denise. They commended how she affected her co-actor and the control on every emotions shown. As for Chanel and Shaira, they also did very well but the critics seemed to find more emotions which wasn't seen on the short film.


The Boys

The Short film was about a son named Anton who is longing for love and care from her real mother (Ms. Nora Aunor) who abandoned him out of her frustrations on her husband. But as the day went that they had the opportunity to see each other, anger had burst from his emotions to the point that he doesn't need her real mother anymore even though his mother missed him so much.


All the Critics agreed and loved Vin Abrenica's teardrops falling on the last part of the film. Akihiro Blanco was still commended for his naturalistic way of acting but lacks with the emotions seen in the film. Mark Neumann was also commended on his effort in memorizing tagalog lines as management for the language barrier, but the critics still seen it as a barrier to the film.
