Zee Cine Awards Nominations 2012

Time for another round of nominations!! What will the fates dredge up for us this time?!


Zee Cine Awards Nominations
BEST FILM
Singham
Bodyguard
Don 2
Rockstar
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
The Dirty Picture

[No surprises here.]

BEST ACTOR
Ajay Devgn for Singham
Ranbir Kapoor for Rockstar
Salman Khan for Bodyguard
Shahrukh Khan for Ra One
Shahrukh Khan for Don 2
Hrithik Roshan for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

[This is such a ridiculous field. You can’t compare what Ranbir and Hrithik did with the herogiri of the Two Knas and the Devgn. It’s apples and oranges.

And WTF is up with nominating Shahrukh twice?! Really, Zee Cine Awards? Really?]

BEST ACTRESS
Kangna Ranaut for Tanu Weds Manu
Katrina Kaif for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Kareena Kapoor for Bodyguard
Priyanka Chopra for Saat Khoon Maaf
Vidya Balan for The Dirty Picture

[Finally a nod to Kangs wonderful performance in Tanu Weds Manu! It’s a telling thing when the field for Best Actress is stronger than Best Actor. Although, technically, I wouldn’t have put Kat in as a leading lady but she’s a heroine so there you go. She definitely deserves a nod, though.]

BEST DIRECTOR
Imtiaz Ali for Rockstar
Milan Luthria for The Dirty Picture
Farhan Akhtar for Don 2
Rohit Shetty for Singham
Zoya Akhtar for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Siddique for Bodyguard

[No surprises here but I hope it goes to Zoya.]

SA RE GA MA PA SONG OF THE YEAR
“Character Dheela” from Ready
“Oh La La” from The Dirty Picture
“Chammak Challo” from Ra One
“Sadda Haq” from Rockstar
“Senorita” from Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara
“Char Bajh Gaye” from F.A.L.T.U

[What a weird selection of songs... obviously my choice is “CHAR BAJH GAYE!”]

MALE INTERNATIONAL ICON
Ranbir Kapoor
John Abraham
Farhan Akhtar
Imran Khan
Akshay Kumar

[Okay... I don’t get it the selection criteria. People not nominated for Best Actor? But, no, Ranbir is there. Non-Three Khans we want to attend? Does this mean that Ranbir will get this and SKR is getting Best Actor?]

FEMALE INTERNATIONAL ICON
Katrina Kaif
Sonam Kapoor
Kareena Kapoor
Anushka Sharma
Vidya Balan

[Oh ho ho! No Deepika Padukone?! Her stock is dropping like Bear Sterns. And what’s this with Anushka? Interesting... I bet either Kat or Bebo gets this one with Vidya getting Best Actress. Fair play all around!]
