Now that Oscars are done and like every year, we question why can’t we have an award ceremony like that in India. To imagine our award “shows” giving the awards to deserving people is a dream which is not going to come true in near future. So, for a moment, let’s imagine an award ceremony which tries to award the deserving people.
We have both Hindi and Telugu here. Hindi because Filmfare didn’t get it right in few categories. Telugu because the awards are even pathetic in South India. Forget about Editing or any technical department, not even Story and Screenplay are awarded in South Indian filmfare or any major awards.
