53rd Annual Filmfare Awards
The 53rd Filmfare Awards seemed a little more sensible than the previous few years. The usual suspects didn't sweep away all the awards. Must be because some sensible films were made in 2007. I'm sure had there been a Karan Johar film starring SRK and Kajol, it would have won 10 awards without any thought!
KJo was there in all his glory, anyway. Even if he couldn't win any award, he hosted the show! So, everyone's happy. Anyway, there were some deserving winners of the awards, while some were not!
And the "Lady in Black" went to...

I think Neil Nitin Mukesh deserved the debut award for Johnny Gaddar. What's with the Power Awards that went to Yash Chopra? Yeah, the usual suspects syndrome and also the ceremony was held at Yash Raj Studios. LOL.
And was Irrfan Khan better in the supporting role in Metro than Aamir in TZP? Naaaah!
Deepika Padukone won two awards for similar categories. A debutante IS a fresh face, obviously!
There were Best Sound and Best Costumes Awards, Best Special Effects for godsakes and no Best Villain and Comic Role! That's so outright silly! People are quite high on comedy these days and Villains are equally important to make the heroes more heroic, right?
