 Elegant Rekha gave Kajol a not very deserving Best Actress Award. Kajol looks so fat in front of Rekha.

 Shahrukh Khan received his Best Actor Award from Rekha

 Sonakshi looks nothing less than some very fat Pushto heroine here. Disastrous pose I must say.

Sonakshi continues with those jhatkas

The 56th Filmfare Awards have of course taken place. Udaan, it seemed was the limelight of the night. I am happy that Ronit Roy won the Best Supporting Actor Award. That is the only happy news for me because I really like this guy and his acting skills were quite obvious ever since I saw him playing the role of Mr. Bajaj in Kasauti Zindagi Ki. The man has struggled for the longest time and in Udaan his acting outshines everybody else's performance.

Apart from that it was quite obvious that sifarshi Sonaksi Sinha would win the Best Female Debut award while Ranveer Singh would take the Best Male Debut award. Although Dabangg did take 5 awards, it was clearly Udaan's night. Salman Khan couldn't get the Best Actor award and lost it to his ex-best friend Shahrukh Khan who got it for his exceptional acting in My Name Is Khan. What majorly disappointed me and may be a few others was that Kajol out of nowhere won the Best Female Award for her very regular performance in My Name Is Khan. I think this time round Vidya Balan totally deserved an award for Ishqiya. 

And yes Kareena Kapoor also got a Supporting Actress Award for a very ridiculous and unnecessary movie - We Are Family.

My Name Is Khan To Contend At The Oscars???

Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan may have missed out by a whisker to Peepli [LIVE] on being India's official entry to the Oscars this year but there is a possibility that the SRK-Kajol starrer may find its way to the Academy awards list of nominations.

The film has made it to the reminder list of movies eligible for this year's Academy Awards, joining box office heavyweights such as Inception, Iron Man 2 and Black Swan.

The film has managed to do phenomenal business in the overseas market and this fact could have helped getting the film prominence among the international audience. One will have to wait and watch if MNIK does make it to the final nominees list which is scheduled to be announced on Jan 25. If it does, it would certainly call for one big celebration in the KJo-SRK camp.

Well there is a big IF if that would happen...Frankly speaking none of the movies seem that great. But than Oscars itself have lost their charm...since every weird actor wins an Oscar every now and then.
