You know, the fact that SO many think Alia deserved the award makes it plausible. It's not like Alia goes and tells even forum members to fight for her cause!
Thing is..sonam played an air hostess but doesn't veer off from her actual self..she has always played these middle class ki ladki roles and she had to show fear here..
Everyone has known fear.
Now Alia had go undergo total transformation AND act and persuade people they are not watching Alia Bhatt. Seems like she did just that.
Maybe sonam will win other awards.
After all, kangana didn't exactly sweep all the awards last year, right? Inspite of playing ditzy innocent girl in Queen..and two different characters in TWM 2 with aplomb and ruling the box office.
