Insipidness

Bhai does bhai things on the screen and receives a nomination but Manoj Bajpayee (Aligarh) pours his heart out on celluloid and receives no recognition.... Randeep Hooda managed to shake us to our core in an otherwise mediocre Sarbjit but has not been recognized by the magazine. Why snub Swara Bhaskar for her performance in Nil Battey Sannata.....Is she too arty for this list?
Taapsee Pannu's performance in Pink made us feel the character's turbulent struggle but there is no mention of the actress who stood her ground in a film that was about a group of women fighting for their rights either.......
While we love watching the Golden Globes or the Oscars and applaud Meryl Streep for taking a stand on a national issue on stage, Bollywood is nowhere close to that. Our award shows are about getting more eyeballs on the television screen.....
The same controversy of Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bachchan-Rekha keeps repeating every year and the SRK vs Salman charade turns into a fight one year and the next season, they are acting like best friends on stage, laughing at each other's jokes. When award shows turn into a ground of praising mediocrity and applauding someone's PR team, it's certainly time to re-evaluate our 'awards'.......
