The voting process for Viewers’ Choice Zee Cine Awards began yesterday with the official website of the film listing out the nominations in the Top 4 categories – which includes ‘Song Of The Year’ but does not include nominations for the ‘Best Director’.
The Best Actor category has 6 nominations – Aamir Khan for Dangal, Salman Khan for Sultan (currently leading in votes), Amitabh Bachchan for Pink, Akshay Kumar for Airlift, Sushant Singh Rajput for MS Dhoni The Untold Story and Ranbir Kapoor for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. The glaring omission is Shah Rukh Khan, who performed brilliantly in FAN, but it looks like Zee has opted only for films that were commercially successful.
The Best Actress category has nominations for Sonam Kapoor (Neerja), Alia Bhatt (Udta Punjab – leading), Anushka Sharma (Sultan)m Taapsee Pannu (Pink), Alia Bhatt (Dear Zindagi) and Fatima Sana Shaikh (Dangal).
The Best Film category has Dangal (leading), Neerja, Sultan, Pink, Rustom, MS Dhoni The Untold Story.
The Song of the Year category is dominated by films from Dharma Productions. Kala Chashma, Channa Mereya, Kar Gayi Chull and even The Breakup Song is nominated. But there isn’t a nomination for one of the most popular songs of last year, the title song of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Dangal Dangal and Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai are also nominated.

Please note, I love Arijit Singh and his songs but I feel Atif Aslam in Tere Sang Yaara was just too good.
salwoman who has only recently started delivering hits is nominated for sultan nd the king srk doesnt get nomination for fan. bogus awards.
either akshay or sushant should be given the award…salwoman has done nothing in sultan he looked ugly also…n gaymir….he was nothing more than a saand in the movie ganja buddha..
