Star Screen Awards - Good ceremony, crazy award choices

Disclaimer: Fans of Paa do not read this post! Fans of Love Aaj Kal do not read this post.


I happened to catch some parts of the Star Screen Awards last week and I thought the jokes that night were pretty well done. But freaking hell, did they mess up the actual awards bigtime!

Some screamers:

Best Dialogues - Abhijat Joshi, Raju hirani (3 Idiots)

Are you kidding me, KAMINEY people! It had the lines of the year! Especially when it comes to quality and depth of thought.

Best Lyricist - Irshad Kamil For Choor Bazari ( Love Aaj Kal)

WTF, when you have Gulzar nailing every song of Kaminey with awesome lyrics, you nominate and then give the award to the most lame song of Love Aaj Kal, even Yeh Dooriyan was better.

Best Music Director - A R Rahman ( Delhi 6 )

I love A R Rahman's music, but Dev D was far superior to Delhi 6!

Best Jodi of the decade: Shahrukh Khan and Kajol

While giving away this award they showed clips of DDLJ and KKHH, both movies from the 90's, I think they got confused about which decade they were giving away the award for, as it is I think it should have gone to SRK and K Jo :D

Best Editing Results - Raju Hirani (3 Idiots)

Dev D being technically superior to 3 Idiots should have been given it's due! One only has to look back to the dope scenes of Abhay Deol to know which had superior editing.

Best Story - Imtiaz Ali ( Love Aaj Kal)

An award for Best Story given to a movie which had the crappiest 2nd half of the year! They might as well have given it to Blue or Kambakth Ishq.

The final screamer:

Best Actor: Amitabh Bachchan (Paa)

I have the greatest respect for AB, but please! Out of sheer respect for his tremendous skill I wanted to refrain from shredding the movie Paa on my blog. But then when performances like Dev in Dev D and Shahid's awesome double role in Kaminey are ignored for trashy campy rubbish like Paa, one can't help it. It was a disastrous movie which just got away with the sympathy card and was called a hit! It's almost a crime to criticize movies made on people suffering from problems, but honestly Paa was trash!

I really wish award ceremonies stopped celebrating camps in Bollywood and instead actually gave awards to the deserving performances!

Well said dude! Eve Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots was better than AB! Undoubtedly Abhay Deol deserved this one...

And Love Aaj Kal getting best story is hilarious! It was a montage of episodes from some1s life! Kaminey and DevD deserved much much more! Even Gulaal!

And ARR for Delhi6 was good but definitely not better thn DevD, which is the musical work of the year!

Jodi of the decade shud be award juries and incompetence!

This was the year of Dev D, Gulaal and Kaminey (even though I tore it apart, it was better than Paa and Love Aaj Kal).
Thats why I never watch these award ceremonies. They're fake.

I think Gulaal had the best dialogues. Dev D. Kaminey and Gulaal could be tied for best music!

...hence do not watch award ceremonies. The moment 3 idiots and Paa became hits, I knew that Dev D and Kaminey had no chance in hell. One would need brains to recognize the genius of Dev D and Kaminey. And little-girl-in-fairy-land mentality to prefer Love Aaj Kal and and Paa and 3 idiots over them.
