3 Filipino's win Oscar short film

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE 2) - Three Filipino-American producers made Oscar history on Sunday after their short film "God of Love" won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.

Stephanie Walmsley, Stephen Dypiangco and Gigi Dement produced the 18-minute short film by New York filmmaker Luke Matheny about an expert dart-thrower looking for love.

Walmsley and Dement are credited as producers of the film, along with Ryan Silbert. Dypiangco is the producer of marketing and distribution of the short film.

Producer Walmsley used to be a child star in the Philippines and had acted in a Star Cinema film recently.

"Can you imagine having to promise somebody that you're gonna one day make it to the Oscars? Of course you feel like if it's ever gonna happen, but my father was sure. The day before he passed, he was even showing the nurse my picture and saying 'don't forget her face, she'll be in the Oscars one day,'" Walmsley said in an interview with ABS-CBN North America News Bureau.

Other Pinoys were also nominated in the 83rd Annual Academy Awards but lost.
