KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 3 — Dukun — the film based on the infamous murder of Datuk Mazlan Idris by Mona Fandey — won big at Anugerah Skrin 2018 which was held at Putra World Trade Centre last night.

The Asto Shaw production bagged trophies for Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Film Supporting Actor (Namron), Best Film Director (Daim Said) and Best Film Actress (Datin Seri Umie Aida).

"I didn’t have high hopes but I admit I was nervous before they announced the winner.

"I worked hard for this role and this win is for my fans,” Umie told reporters.

Television drama Pendosa Ingin Ke Syurga had its moments on stage too, after winning Best Drama, Best Drama Director (Rashid Sibir) and Best Drama Supporting Actress (Fauziah Nawi).

Serial drama Nur also won big by bagging three awards: Best Serial Drama, Best Serial Drama Actor (Syafiq Kyle) and Best Serial Drama Actress (Amyra Rosli).
