This post might be a little too much for some. Apologies, but I know no other way to write but to say what I am really thinking. So continue at your own risk.

Brilliant brilliant…!!! The awards season has started with the nominees for the 14th Screen Awards announced today.

I must admit that I puked blood when I read the nominations. I am pretty sure that the jury members were involved in a mass orgy while they were deciding the nominees for the awards because obviously the interest of Hindi Cinema was not on their minds.

First and foremost.. Darsheel Safary, better known as Ishaan Awasthi, has NOT BEEN NOMINATED in the best actor category. Instead, he has been nominated as the Best Child Actor. What nonsense on Earth is that? When a 64 year old Amitabh Bachchan can be nominated against a 20 something Shahid Kapur, why can’t an 11 year old be nominated alongside? Does the best Actor award come with the sign ADULT ONLY? The boy has also been left out from the Best Newcomer category..!!

I am sure the best actor nominees were decided based on who came to the minds of the jury while they were climaxing. I’m surprised none of them were pedophiles. I wish they are gang-raped by a bunch of monkeys.

That’s not all. In the best film category, Black Friday has been conveniently left out in favor of Om Shanti Om. First, to all the douchebags who can’t stop whining about how good Om Shani Om is and that I am being a moron by saying bad things about SRK and Farah Khan: “You jackasses.. I actually LIKED OSO. Read my review and shut the f*** up.”

My problem is that OSO is a good movie, but not worthy of a best film nomination because though entertaining, OSO is ordinary cinema. In fact, it is a step back for the industry that seemed to be progressing thanks to RDB and Lage Raho.

Black Friday is a path-breaking film and deserves the highest honors there are. Too bad it is pitied against TZP.

But actually think of it, in an industry where the biggest filmmakers do not take risks and work on formula with just moolah on their minds, it is only fair that the award shows for such an industry care not about quality per se, but TRPs and sponsorships…
