Akshat in a comment just reminded me to talk about FilmFare awards, and said there is some kind of controversy this year, which blech.

The actual awards list went up earlier, but we all know that doesn’t matter nearly as much as what people wore! Not even joking, in terms of people tuning in for the show, it’s all about who showed up and how big they went. And in terms of how seriously people are taking the awards, and their careers in Hindi film, it is also about how big they went (remember in 2016 Priyanka didn’t even come?)
So, just like a couple days ago, the nominees were announced, and now the awards ceremony is already over! That is so fast!
But, let’s be real, it was never really about the Awards anyway, it’s all about the live performances! Which you can read about here. But in the meantime, thanks to Times of India and their minute by minute coverage, I can tell you who won, who lost, and how right (or wrong) I was in my guesses.
