Missing: Jab We Met from Screen nominations

Missing: Jab We Met from Screen nominations

Mumbai: The award season began with with the Star Screen Awards which were held in Mumbai on Thursday , but there were some glaringly obvious boo-boos at the ceremony that any film buff could spot. Here are big misses that make one wonder why the people behind the Screen Awards overlooked it.

They say birds of the same feather flock together, and it's well known that the girls of Chak De India stuck together, played ball together and made a hit out of their hockey film.

The Chak De India team and King Khan went everywhere together to promote the film, but nominating the whole team together in the Best Supporting Actress category was a bit too much. And they were vying for the award with competitors like Shefali Shah in Gandhi My Father and Konkona Sen Sharma in Life in a Metro.

But what was truly disappointing was that Director Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met was just not good enough for the Screen Awards.

Even as people raved about the film, danced to its tunes and made a box office success out of it, the Screen Awards chose to ignore the good as gold romantic film in the Best Music, Best Film and Best Director category. This, when every critic had only nice things to say about the movie.

CNN-IBN Entertainment Editor Rajeev Masand's review of the movie stated: "Three out of five for director Imtiaz Ali's Jab We Met, it's a film bursting with the kind of lovely little moments that will bring a smile to your face."

But Director Imtiaz Ali is nonchalant to the pass-up saying, "I feel that it's Screen's prerogative. I'm not going to go and do anything to influence their judgment about it. If they feel it's not good enough to be a part of their top five, then so be it."

Another blast from the past, Black Friday, the film on the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts, lay buried under starry debris at the Screen Awards.

It did not figure in the Best Film or the Best Director awards category — but managed to wriggle out a Best Screenplay nomination and a Best Supporting Actor award for Pawan Malhotra from the stingy Screen awards.

And one still wonders why Om Shanti Om gets a nomination in all these categories.
