I am actually SHOCKED and disappointed with Bollywood ignoring Sridevi's performane in English Vinglish, I really and honestly thought that she would sweep all of the awards!

Nobody has ever had that kind of comeback after a 15-year gap and the acting she had done was just...well I was left speechless.

I am tired of Bollywood's award games and lobbying, its so sad and pathetic! I am sure if it was Madhuri or Kajol who got this kind of reaction, they would be getting every single award. I dont know waht to say but If Sridevi does not get Best Actress at Filmfare...I think Filmfare will lose its own value!

Lobbying, PR, friendships, money flights usually take away the credibility of awards but its unfair to label all awards as on sale and biased. Sridevi did a marvelous comeback but Kahaani was a stronger film and so was Vidya's role, so maybe that is tough competition. But nobody is cold shouldering Sridevi. I guess the whole Bollywood celebrated her success.

But i agree with the member above that Hrithik's Agneepath act was far more powerful than Ranbir's Barfee heartwarm. Sometimes, its tough to put your finger on that one winner .🤔

Sridevi was never media-friendly in her life. She doesn't do PR. Her film wasn't backed by a Johar or Chopra. So no awards.

The Kapoors (Anil/Sridevi) have mostly been ignored by awards and rarely got due from media. Anil has started getting a bit of recognition after Slumdog Millionaire. Bollywood media had even questioned Anil's National award for Pukaar.

Likes of Kajol and Madhuri get awards for just appearing in a film. Whereas a Sridevi is ignored. Even at Hello Hall of Fame awards it seemed laughable how MD got some icon award (for what?!) whereas Sridevi was just given a performer of the year award (though she's senior & has a more diverse body of work in Indian cinema)!

Media has even underplayed success of EV (you'd have seen specials on Indian news channels if it were a Madhuri film) awards are out of question.

There were other strong performances in 2012. Its not fair to give awards sentimentally especially when there are many good performances.
