MANINGING at matagumpay ang 38th Star Awards for Movies ng The Philippine Movie Press Club, Inc. (PMPC) na ginanap nitong Linggo, Hulyo 16, 2023, sa Centennial Hall ng Manila Hotel.

Nakipag-sanib-pwersa ngayong taon ang PMPC sa Gutierez Celebrities & Media Production na pinamumunuan ni MJ Gutierez para ihatid ang modern Filipiniana theme ng naturang awards night.
