Fifth Indian Television Academy Awards rolls
The fifth Hero Honda ITA Awards 2005 has received a staggering 2017 entries from 340 TV shows, representing the entire spectrum of the medium, be it soaps, comedies, telefilms, documentaries, musicals, news & current affairs, lifestyle-shows and what have you. As many as 46 channels have been featured this time. Says Anu Ranjan, President of the ITA, "All this has been possible because of the unqualified and unflinching trust of the Industry that we have been able to earn by virtue of unquestionable integrity and transparency in the Awards. The entire Award-process in simply impeccable."
The final results are known only on the day of the awards ceremony, while the envelopes are opened. The Academy, itself, never comes on scene as far as the judging is concerned and the entire process is conducted by the outside agency, Eikona. 'That explains some of the so-called low-profile but amazingly meritorious performances and shows winning the coveted trophies, each year," says the ITA Convenor, Shashi Ranjan. "Every time, the results have won a stunned and stunning praise by one and all, because of the relentless pursuance of excellence in the most implicitly transparent manner in these awards," he further stresses.
