But SRK sure has been nominated for Best Actor along with the expected nominations of Hrithik Roshan for Jodhaa Akbar, Aamir Khan for Ghajini and Akshay Kumar for Singh is Kinng. Other best actor nominees are Abhishek Bachchan for Dostana, Amitabh Bachchan for Sarkar Raj and Ranbir Kapoor for Bachna Ae Haseeno. May the best man win!

  • i definitely think fasion should of been nominated for more catergories. i now understand why Aamir does not accept these awards. talent is not looked at. its more about star status/stature and beauty. award functions are now losing their /credibilitystatus. it now does not matter who wins the awards….. if the national award could be won by Saif Ali Khan then …………

  • It just reminds me of what good movies and performances there have been this year and for me no one really stands out as so many were excellent but often in very different genres. How do you really compare the music of Jodha Akbar and Bachna Ae Haseeno yet both were terrific. So much talent that it’s a pity it hasn’t been reflected at the box office so often and critics have often been harsh.

  • I think Jodhaa Akbar should win for best picture and Hrithik Roshan should win the Best Actor and Aishwariya Rai Best actress.

  • i dont know why they dont nominate RNBDJ in the best picture and they nominated Race ,what was they thinking.
    i personally thinks SRK should win for the best actor award.

  • i think SRK will not be nominated for actor. he does not deserve. there are so many talented actor more than SRK he only palys the smae role …………….. he think if palys a movie he will defenetely won the award or what………….

    i like aamir khan, and Hrithik Roshan . they should deserve.

  • I am sooooooooo happy that SRK is nominated for the best actor!! i love u loadz SRK!! but im reli dissapointed with 2 things one is cuz shahid is not nominated which is reli bad, shahid and shahrukh are both my fav actors i reli cant believe. and the other thing im also dissapointed that Rab ne bana di jodi is NOT nominated for the best film…rab ne bana di jodi is the best film soo far. and i reli cant belive. shahrukh did so much work into it. i still love u shahrukh and shahid u guys r the best!!

  • For me.. best films of the year 2008 were as follows:
    1) Jodhaa Akbar
    2) Rabne Bana Deh Jodhi
    3) Fashion
    4) Rock On
    5) Dostana

    If I was one of the organizers, I would’ve selected these movies for nomination, but to select the one which top them all, it’d have been hard to select the best coz they’re all good movies, but the most interesting was RBNDJ.

    best actor (male) Shahrukh & Hrithik
    best actor (female) Priyanka Chopra

    Best actor, supporting role: Arjun Rampal
    Best actress, supporting role: Bipasha for BAH

    Best Director: Ashoutoush Ghawariker
    Best Newcomer make: Farhan Akhatar/ Prateik Babbar
    Best ” female: Anushka/Prachi

    Though in the Background/Best Music it was hard not to choose Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy alongside A R Rahman for the contemporary music from Rock On. Hard decision there.

  • Now you guys who always say that Shahrukh plays the same role.. did u even watch his new movie RBNDJ.. or u just repeat here like parrots what others say?!!

    His role as Surindar Sahani was completely different than the roles he already played and was a new character with a new script.. so how u guys are saying that he’s always repeating his roles?!!!!

    I m fan of akshay but still he will not win…nothing to worry….He is not like other(srk) to fix the award too…If u will this clearly show he had fix that….He has done good role in RNBJ but he will not get award for that……………………..

  • Sudeep P: it doesn’t make me a boring person coz I admire Shahrukh, Shahrukh isn’t a boring actor.. he’s the best.. Fine.. let’s see your selection for the best movie of 2008:

    (A Wednesday): It’s a good movie and the best part was that he wanted to revenge and kill those terrorists, not to free them, but can’t be the best movie comparing to some big & interesting movies of 2008.. it’s a one time watch only, u don’t like to see it again, and I didn’t understand why some terrorists were after a common man, a poor man who’s wife is waiting for him to get her some groceries! abusing him and his family therefore he wanted to kill them.. Why? Could u tell me why if u did understand the reason?

  • I AGREE WITH SUDEEP. WEDNESDAY SHOULD GET THE CRITICS CHOICE, FASHION, A MIXTURE OF BOTH CRITICS AND COMMERCIAL SHOULD GET BEST FILM. WOMEN DEFINITELY GET THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE THAT THEY CAN SUCCESSFULLY CARRY A MOVIE ON THEIR SHOULDERS (FASHION). WE THE MOVIE GOING PUBLIC ARE TIRED OF ALL THE FIXED AWARDS. THE INDUSTRY WILL REMAIN IN THE RUT IT IS, IF THEY CONTINUE APPRECIATING BAD CINEMA. COME ON, ITS NOT ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL A MOVIE OR ACTRESS IS BUT RAther how they were able to potray the role. jodha akbar is Hrithi’s movie, Ash (was a fan until i saw her antics at the cannes) is just about beauty not spontaneity. she has to learn to emote better not just look picture perfect (she should watch a few of Hema, Madhuri, Shridevi, Shabana, Smita anf Jaya’s movies). please bollywood move forward not backwards.

  • Good dat Srk’s film is not nominated for Best film atleast he will not have to take any trouble in Fixing the award!A good film like Mumbai meri jaan and fashion shud have been nominated…..

  • best actor-shahrukh khan

    best actreess-priyanka

    Most Promising Newcomer (Debut – Male)-Farah Akthar

    Most Promising Newcomer (Debut – Female)-anushka surely…

    Star Screen Awards – Best Playback Singer (Male)Sukhwinder Singh – Haule Haule (Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi)

  • Indicine Team:Who is Shahana Goswami? Is she the one who’s playing Arjun Rampal’s wife in the movie Rock On?

    If she is the one, yes.. she’s a good actress and deserves to win an award, but there’re are many good actresses in the supporting roles this year as well as newcomers.. God knows who will win!

  • Shahrukh Khan will present this year the award for the best drama at Golden Globe Awards, I read on bollywoodhungama this news now, and it says that this happens for 1st time, that the organizers select an indian actor to present the award.

    And this is a proof that Shahrukh is the most popular actor in India and that he’s number (1)

  • I donot know y SRK winn award…..I just like his Karan arjun because of Salman and and chakde india it was cool movie….But how can he get award for this RNBJ …He donot perform upto his best….U can read review of the movie by taran adash in bollywoodhungama.com,Rajeev marchadi of cnnibn7 and other too many there…….So if award will given to Amir or hritik it will be right decision

  • i was shock that Sing is King is not Nominations as best film, i have a question how you judge it, it is one of the best movie in 2008 and best business as well. i don’t like to watch your show and not only me there is lot poeple think same

  • Sudeep: No.. that’s not right.. I liked Anuskha.. what they say in Indian ( Dilme Jata Hai) I don’t know.. I mean to say.. she’s loveable, cute, and a good actress.. she did a good job as a debutant.. I think when u say ( the best newcomer) so the best newcomer must be “complete” as an actress, as she’s a film star, so she must have beauty, talent, must be loveable and have a strong presence on the screen ( Anushka got it all but Asin lacks this presence, and that’s the weakness in her character), therefore I said she’s like a wind.. will not last long in bollywood.

    And about Shahrukh.. you liked Karan Arjun.. and I didn’t.. U like Salman, and I don’t admire him.. as an example.. u might consider the movie JTYJN as a very good movie and I found it a crap ( except 2 songs in the movie which I liked and Prateik Babbar). So if u find it strange that Shahrukh won many awards and ppl loved him therefore he was the King of Bollywood for almost 12 years ( and might continue with his crown for some more years) no one knows.. so it’s not for others Sudeep, I can also ask you: Why do you like Salman Khan? I don’t find him a very good actor or a brilliant coz lately, he did some crap movies!!

  • Hritick or aamir should win for best actor(personally, id go with hritick coz aamir wont show up) for best actress, come on its aishwarya rai( she is more natural than priyanka whose performance seemed forced) my best flick is either ghajni or jodha akbar( both masterpieces) new comer should go to ASIN coz she too is a natural actress!

  • My picks: best actor-aamir.its hard between him and hritick . actress- aishwarya rai.she has consistently gave amazing performance for years now unlike priyanka who gave four horrific movies(huge flops) just this year only! best film should go to JODHA AKBAR! Its being nominated for several international awards including the BAFTA awards! There was a lot of detail in jodha akbar. My best newcomer is ASIN and IMRAN. Man, abhishek should be nominated for comic role then best actor and aishwarya should be nominated for supporting for sarkar raj.she was greater than bipasha

  • Jodha akbar and ghajini should win everything. Hritick/aamir for actor, aishwarya for actress, asin for new comer and ghajini or jodha akbar for movie of the year!akhay for comedian of the year!

  • according to me awards should go to.
