With the main contenders for most Best Actor awards every year (read Shahrukh, Aamir and Hrithik) having no releases so far this year, the main contenders are Shahid Kapoor for Kaminey, Salman Khan for Wanted, Saif Ali Khan for Love Aaj Kal and Akshay Kumar for Kambakht Ishq – all of whom, quite ironically, have never won the Best Actor award.
Critically, Shahid Kapoor’s performance received immense appreciation, but the movie hasn’t fared as well as it was expected to commercially, which probably could be the only reason Shahid “may not” win the award this year. Since its the ‘popular’ awards we are talking about, performances in movies that don’t fare well commercially are usually ignored (not the case always though, Shahrukh Khan won the Filmfare Best Actor award for his character of Mohan Bhargav in the box disaster Swades)
Salman Khan’s performance in Wanted too has been well-praised, both by critics and audiences. The other two lesser contenders are Akshay and Saif.
The last 3 months of the year though, have some great movies lined up for release starring actors who could challenge Shahid’s performance this year. Here are some of the performances to look forward to
- Ranbir Kapoor in Wake up Sid (releases October 2nd 2009)
- Amitabh Bachchan in Aladin (releases October 30th 2009)
- Ranbir Kapoor in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (releases November 6th 2009)
- Neil Nitin Mukesh in Jail (releases November 6th 2009)
- Salman Khan in London Dreams (releases October 30th 2009)
- Saif Ali Khan in Kurbaan (releases November 27th 2009)
- Amitabh Bachchan in Paa (releases December 4th 2009)
- Ranbir Kapoor in Rocket Singh (releases December 11th 2009)
- Akshay Kumar in Blue (releases October 16th 2009)
- Salman Khan in Main Aur Mrs Khanna (releases October 16th 2009)
- Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots (Christmas 2009)
- Hrithik Roshan in Kites (release date not confirmed)
On a lighter note, Himesh Reshammiya for Radio..?!!

Certainly Salman deserves award for Best Actor this year. Because he’s not done acted so stupendously in any movie. I’d love to see Salman with a trophy. Well, Salman doesn’t really care about awards, he himself has admitted this. All he cares about is his loyal fans. WE LOVE YOU SALLU! nomatterwhat.
And hey! I still think Salman deserves the awards despite of being his biggest fan!
My vote is completely for Shahid. He completely deserved this award for kaminey. If you see the tamil or the telugu version of Wanted you will understand that Salman has not done anything compared to Mahesh Babu. So, I don’t think salman deserves this nor saif. And i have seen both the movies in telugu and tamil. He has not done anything compared to them. And indicine, Kaminey was a hit. Why are you guys aganist Shahid. It was the best movie of this year so far. And Shahid totally rocked Kaminey.
no one other then Shahid Kapoor..!!!
and for u all of u Guys who think that Kaminey was a semihit..
Kaminey Rs. 82,61,196 with *A certificate + swine flu *
so Think if it was if it wasn’t a A certificated and NOt affected by swine flu so what was Kaminey’s business..?? * Ha others are Lucky that it was A certificated* …!!!
wid all due respects to Shahid fans, da main reason Kaminey did well was coz of Vishal Bhadharwaj.
don’t get me wrong Shahid waz good in Kaminey and he haz a chance of winning it, but i think Salman or Ajay will get it for LD. Both were excellent.
Also i remember wen WANTED and DBH was bout to release all Salman haters were sayin dat Shahid/DBH iz gonna smash WANTED. i just kept smilin coz i knew which film and which actor waz gonna win.
PEACE.
i aggree with priya and sf i think you people are against shahid and kaminey. shahid deserves the award for kaminey it takes alot to make a film like that and only people who lack mental assets can dislike kaminey or understate shahid’s performance!
salamn khan should win 2010 best actor no more tallking he has done verry verry good actoin and comedy
every think he deserves sallu , insha alaah
i give my vote to the king bolywood sharukhan
i think salman will rock this time. ihave seen both kaminey and wanted but the true flavour has been provided by salman khan through his consistency of acting. it will rock and sallu will rock.
@rakshesh:what do u think about Shahid in Kaminey..dubel role..lipsing and stammering..that was not easy..He was outstanding in Kaminey IF u really saw Kaminey so i can’t understand about ur this comment..
All of u..WATCH Kaminey and think about his acting and profomance agn..try to ”BE HONEST” at lest this time..that was NOT a Easy role for any actor ”Admit that”..i don’t think that in Bollywood there is an other actor who can do some thing simmler like what he did in Kaminey…
* No offense to his Fans or Salman i really do have respect for him and he was good in wanted too but Shahid was ”perfect” *
but Salman in wanted was not even 1% of what shahid did Kaminey..
my vote goes 2…………………………..shahid kapoor!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
i love u shahid,and i totaly loved ur movies espasialy kaminey and dil bole hadippa!!!
Finally there will be some1 new to win best actor this year. No shahrukh and no Hrithik means there will definetely be a new best actor. The competition is really between Shahid kapoor, Saif ali khan and Salman khan. Out of all of them i really think shahid will win even though Salan mamnd Saif were awesome!!!!
Best actor will definetly get shahid for kaminey.he acted double role in the movie.
salman khan will be becouse he iz best and every body is sporting hih
salman khan will get the best actor award for his movie wanted
hey he better deserve it love u shahid
Ranbir Kapoor deserves to be the best nbut since he isn’t here I’ll vote Shahid Kapoor. He has acted brilliantly in Kaminey. The double role acting is not easy. Not SRK or Amir or that Salman it is Shahid Kapur.
i think shahrukh khan is the best actor
i think salman deserve d award for wanted.although shahid may hv acted well in kaminey but wanted was super hit nd kaminey was not .also salman was outstanding in ld but dat movie didnt work.so i think salman khan for wanted is d best.
i also wan ask indicine dat while nominating actors nd movies in awards ,do they only consider performances or also d box office verdict 2.thanks
i think salman khan desereves more den others.wanted is d biggest hit so far in 2009,so it increases salmans chances more.even though shahid was more critically acclaimed.salman nd ajay rocked ld but d movie didnt proove 2 b fruitful,so no chances for ny of dem 2 bag an award for london dreams.
craz in the fan r going down bcz salman’s movies r releasing one after the another in no time. london dream would have release after one month or some time bcz matches b/w aus-ind trouble the movie ultimately the movie didnot make well in box office as fans were accepting
“BUT SALMAN U R BEST OF THE ALL ACTOR “
I am not a big fan of salman but the performance he gave in wanted is mindblowing. I cant imagine any other bollywood actor performing RADHE in wanted and the way he said the dialogue MAINE JO EK BAAR COMMITMENT KAR DI……. is just unparallel
One an only salman ” VEER ” KHAN the best actor of 2009 for
1) LONDON DREAMS – salman career’s best performence .
2) WANTED – outstanding performence .
GURVINDERPAL I am agree with you dude , MAINE JO EK BAAR COMMITMENT KAR DI uske baad main apne aapki bhi nahi sunta . just outstanding dialouge .

@saju dev
dialogue is not outstanding, the way salman spoke it is just mindblowing
salman khan is king salman khan is king salman is king of the bollywood and he is the mega star.salman
khan must winner best actor award 2009.
salman khan should win it this time, he deserve it,all the way through. he did some serious power performances in wanted and london dreams. i really hope the juries does fairness to salman this year.
By the way he deserved it then ,when he did tere naam. but he got nothing instead.
I pray for SALMAN KHAN to win
salman khan wanted. am 100% sure he will win sebe se favourite kaun award since that award is choosen by the people. when filmfares and others awards shows have ignore salman in tere neam, and other great film I DO NOT SEE THEM CHANGING NOW, NEVERTHELESS WE THE PEOPLE KNOWS THAT SALMAN IS THE BEST ACTOR OF 2009. SHAHID WAS ALSO VERY GOOD, IF HE WINS i wouldn’t minf but the real winner is salman khan for his awesome performance in WANTED
Why is the bollywood film industry so fickle? Y can’t Shahid kapoor win just because thw movie did not do well?
I think Neil Nitin Mukesh will be a contender (supporting role in New york and lead role in Jail)
John Abraham for leading actor in New York but he will not win because Abhishek Bachchan will get nominated for Paa as well as Amitabh Bachchan for Paa.
Salman Khan will not win but will get nomination for London Dreams.
Aamir Khan nominated for 3 idiots and Saif Ali Khan for Kurbaan.
Bollywood will never be like Hollywood if the filmfare awards are seen as the main awards in India.
Same people get nominated every year!
its no doubt salman khan is no. 1 actor in bollywood about 20years.i am big fan of salman khan.keepit up sir. i love his style,real stunts and others features.its chemistry with all actresses is fabuless,specially with asin thomotokul.
