National awards or Filmfare awards

[Cinefan]

The National awards for 2004 has been announced&the winners are Saif for Hum Tum &Aishwarya for Raincoat.

Is this the National awards or Filmfare/Screen/Stardust awards?,it's clearly the nadir. Even Anil Kapoor for Pukar looks great in comparison.

A few corrections:Ash is not the best actress but Kannada actress Tara(who played Kamal's sister in Nayakan)for Girish kasaravalli's kannada film 'Haseena'.

Though my intial question is relevant,how can prestigious best actor,best film awards go to Saif&Page 3?

[sanjay]

entirely agree.

To add to this nonsense,Page 3 has been adjudged the best film&Madhur Bhandarkar the Best director.

Correction:
Madhur is not the best director but Buddhadev dasgupta for his Bengali film 'Swapner Din'.Logically should not the director of the Best film also get the best director award?

How can Page 3 be best film while Buddhadev be best director for a different film?

Cinefan,
I've been saying this all along.
By the same token, even the Oscars are guilty of pampering to populist sentiments ignoring quality - Titanic, Lord of the rings (yuck!), Rocky(!?!) etc.........

Inge thiramaiyanavargalukku, nalla padaippugalukku kandippaga virudhugal kidaikkum, aanaal ella virudhugalum thiramayanavargalukko, nalla padaippugalukko kidaippadhu endru solla iyalaadhu

In fact, my impression on Cannes dipped after seeing Aishwarya Rai in the jury, Mallika Sherawat's flick being premiered and also Urmila's Naina. Surely, there are better works/people in India crying for attention, for fuck's sake!

BTW, who were the contenders from south of the Vindhyas in the important categories?

Don't know, but looks like Vidyasagar has bagged the best MD award for K.Vishwanath's "Swarnabhishekam'.Autograph along with Veer Zaara( )has the 'Best Entertainment film'award though I fail to understand what was so entertaining in both the movies.

Autograph was good but left you with a heavy heart,it's not what you call "entertainment" while Veer zaara was looooooooooooong&boring.

Udit is Best Playback(Male)for Yeh tara(Swades)&Bose is the best patriotic(?)film.Swades has got some technical awards,I think.

None of the websites are carrying the entire list still.
