Ashutosh and Sajid Fight Video
Speech of Akshay Kumar in Screen Awards 2009 Video I don't want awards which
are manipulated - Akshay Kumar
This was highlighted this year when Aishwarya Rai who did not get the expected best actress award for a 50-year character arc span performance in the box office superhit Guru was seen given an allegedly 'best popular' award for a lesser role in Jodha Akbar, a controversial movie, which record will show despite being given a huge budget and unprecedented open run failed to break box office benchmarks and in fact was banned in many parts of India, and whose screening was allowed not by popular uprising but by its producer pleading the supreme court on legal grounds. Actors such as Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgan have also at various points inferred the same at various occasions, with many outright skipping the award shows altogether. However this opinion of the bollywood awards was more directly confirmed by superstar Akshay Kumar after this year's screen awards. Kumar has now reportedly put the story on award shows out in the open, saying "I get calls from lot of awards. They say, please perform at our award night at half the price and we will give you the award...It's a very simple deal. I don't want awards which are manipulated. There are so many award nights today. Around 12 to 14 award nights. Awards ki koi value hi nehi rahi." Ashutosh
and Sajid Fight Video
 The stage was set on fire with an opening performance by the gorgeous Deepika Padukone who danced on tunes from Bachna ae haseeno and songs from Om Shanti Om. The theme was dedicated to the girls of Bollywood and the other performances were by Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Priyanka Chopra and Arjun Rampal. Arjun Rampal did the climax act dancing with the remaining girls. Or was it an anti climax? Who really expected Arjun Rampal to do the final act? Couldn’t they get hold of Hrithik, Akshay or even Aishwarya. The show was hosted by Sajad Khan, Farah Khan and Shreyas Talpade who tried to put humour in every sentence. Sajid was more often rubbing people the wrong way and his funny sarcastic comments did not go too well with a lot of people and he had to pay for it at the end. Now, if you are going to be watching the telecast on TV then here is something that you won’t get to see. The Ashutosh Sajid verbal duel: Sajid’s tongue and cheek comments did not go down too well with Ashutosh Gowarikar, who while receiving his award for the best film made his feelings clear by saying that Sajid Khan had no right to demean or make fun of anyone and nor was the show made for him that most of the telecast time would be devoted to Sajid Khan and the winners were being asked to cut short their speeches. It only got worse when Amar Singh came and saluted Ashutosh Gowarikar for having the courage to stand up and speak his mind. Sajid Khan on the other hand defended himself by saying that the audience is the biggest factor and in order to increase the TRPs, they have to have a good time by making fun of people. Clearly some of Sajid Khan’s comments had not gone too well with the audience. Sajid’s comment on the shirt worn by Neeraj Pandey who won the best director and the best story award was in bad taste. Farah Khan further came and said that they treat the industry as a family and hence make fun of each other but have no intentions to hurt any one but will not apologise. The show hence ended at a bitter note. Akshay Kumar received the best actor in the popular category but returned it. Yes the same Akshay Kumar who is known to have edited the roles of other actors in films and is believed to be charging several crores for his films returned his best actor award for he felt that Aamir Khan had a brilliant performance in Ghajini and was more deserving of it. Akshay went on to add that he hoped some day he would win this award when he actually deserved it but Aamir’s performance in Ghajini was better than his performance. The popular category of awards was decided by the number of votes. Aishwarya Rai won it for her performance in Jodha Akbar. The fortunate ones will get
to see Bipasha’s performance on television telecast for she arrived late
for the show and hence her performance will be recorded after the awards
and will be added in the television telecast. Believe it or not, there
were several other gaffes and goof ups which happened on stage with people
some times having to wait till eternity till the envelopes carrying the
names of the winners reached them! All in all, the show was put together
well by the creative team despite the goof ups and will be edited to perfection
for the television viewers. Here are some of the popular category awards.
