The thing is that I can't even come up with names of other contenders and its already 3 months down the year...the award ceremonies usually take place around October and the shows have to be on air for atleast 6-8 months before they can be eligible to participate! So technically, none of the new shows that will be launched from April onwards will be eligible for participation and even if they are, what the are the chances that any of them will have a strong storyline like Bandini and an actor of RR's caliber?
In all fairness, this year's awards should go to RR...because both his character and his peformance wins hands down in all categories!
The only ghotala that can happen is that these awards are highly influenced by the Channel on which they are aired...and the competition is usually between SP, Zee and Sony! And if you notice the past few years, whichever Channel has sponsored the award ceremony, most of the important awards have always gone to the shows aired on them and the actors who are part of that particular channel...š
I might be wrong with the statistics but that is what the general trend has been till date! Also, most of the awards always go to the shows which garner the highest TRP's...
But on the other hands, lately the awards have been more or less quite fair and all the deserving actors have been getting their share of the awards also!
I really hope and wish that the criteria for giving an award this year should be based on performance alone and nothing else! (And by that I mean, all the trophies should go to our Malik's Dharampur House and nowhere else!)
