The 13th Annual Screen awards were given away in
Mumbai on the 6th of January and the winners list gave many a reason to
celebrate. There were no surprises for the best part of the awards night, but
there were one or two awards that went contrary to expectations.
Best Movie:
No surprises. There were only two real contenders. Rang De Basanti and Lage
Raho Munna Bhai. Lage Raho Munna Bhai walked away with the honors.
Best Director:
If Munna Bhai got the best movie, then RDB was not to be left behind.
Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra bagged the award.
Best Story:
Lage Raho Munna Bhai scores number two. Rajkumar Hirani and Abhijith Joshi
share the award.
Best Screenplay:
RDB comes back for its second. Rensil Desilva and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra
share the award.
Best Actor:
The first award to go to someone not associated with RDB or Munna Bhai.
Hrithik Roshan gets the award for his performance in Kkrish.
Best Actress:
The first and the only big surprise, everyone expected Bipasha Basu to bag the
award for Corporate. But the jury seemed to think differently. Kareena Kapoor
won her first big award in a long time for Omkaara.
Best Actor in a supporting role:
This guy must be the most electrifying Circuit the film industry has had in
a long time. Arshad Warsi, for playing the most lovable gangster in Lage Raho
Munna Bhai.
Best Actor in a negative role:
A cakewalk of sorts for Saif Ali Khan; he is winning everywhere this year, for
his performance in Omkaara.
Best Actress in a supporting role:
One award that many had not chanced predicting. Veteran Kirron Kher for playing
Aamir Khans mother in RDB.
Best Actor in a comic role:
A bit off a surprise; Shreyas Talpade winning his first big award for his role
in Nagesh Kukunoors Dor.
Best Background Music:
Well, no prizes for guessing. A.R.Rahman for Rang De Basanti.
It must have been really unfair for Sanjay Dutt to have to walk away empty
handed after his wonderful performance in Lage Raho Munna Bhai; he received a
Critics Special award. So did Ayesha Takia for her role in Dor.
Siddharth registered his presence with an award for the most
promising male newcomer. Kangana Ranaut was given the most promising female
newcomer for Gangster and Woh Lamhe.
The disappointments of the night: Aamir Khan left high and dry after a
wonderful 2006 and the Bacchhans totally absent from the awards list. Thus fell
the curtains on what has been Bollywoods best year in this millennium.
