And the award goes to..

And the award goes to the blatantly partisan jury. Saif Ali Khan (??) got the national award for his role in the movie - dig this - Hum Tum !!.
Now i know the younger nawab has come a long way from his earlier non-descript roles in Bollywood. But National Award ? You must be kidding me.
It seems a little far-fetched for someone like Saif Ali Khan to get a prestigious award like this. Agreed that he has done well in cameo roles earlier, but seldom has he shown promise in carrying the entire movie alone.


In one of my earlier posts i had mentioned how the entire media was up in arms when Raveena Tandon was awarded in 2001 in the Best Actress category.
The jury was charged for being partisan,un-professional and even political.

Now with Sharmila Tagore on the Censor Board and her son getting an award for a performance that most would describe just about average, the hypocrites in the media are conviniently dozing off in their arm chairs.

What a farce these awards are becoming each passing year ?
And it is not helping that the media who is expected to expose these things in the system is shamelessly pro-establishment.
