That's one hell of a nominee list, a few things to note;
-Both categories especially Comedy/Musical/Romantic have been particularly weak this year.
-Had there been a Breakthrough Director Award in 2014, Nitesh Tiwari would have definitely been nominated in it for Bhoothnath Returns; here however he is billed as a top five director despite a tepid film.
-Though either of Vidyarthi and Salim Diwan could have been counted as Leading, they both took part in a fairly divided three part stories in Bollywood Diaries making them equal parts supporting. Plus part of me just couldn't have the heart to leave out either one of these fabulous performances. My only cheat!
-Unlike last year, I finally pulled the trigger on seven nominees for Breakthrough Director as there were many fascinating captains of their ships.
-This also allowed seven deserving nominees for the now rightly rebranded Indian Language Films Section. PS: I know English isn't necessarily and Indian Language, but it does count as below national language Hindi in India
-I increased the number of technical awards and nominees as I felt confident in spotting the efforts of such in films this year, including introducing a category for Sound Design and Mixing.
-Most Importantly I was unable to catch these 3 well received films; Kahaani 2, Island City and Moh Maya Money
This is all for now, the Awards show begins with the Technical Categories [Music] soon...
