IIFA Brand Ambassador Amitabh Bachchan at the announcement of IIFA nominations 2008 in Delhi.

Aamir Khan's feted directorial debut "Taare Zameen Par" was absent from the 9th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards nomination list announced here Tuesday as the actor didn't forward his film for the awards shortlist. "You won't find some important film names mentioned in the nomination list. It is because of the selection procedure," Sabbas Joseph, director Wizcraft International Ltd, said at a press conference.

"The rule for getting a nomination in the IIFA awards popular categories, producers have to fill up a form and send it to us. 'Taare Zameen Par' is one of my favourite films, but the producer didn't send his film, hence it is not in the list," Joseph said.

This year, the IIFA Weekend will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, from June 6-8.

hmmm, it is IIFA who is loosing

as for TZP, everyone knows it is the best movie of the year..so award or no award, fact remains the same 😛

and also this way, Abhisek might be able to win one of the best actor category (popular or critics) since darsheel is out of the picture😉

anyways, who is attending this year IIFA besides the Bachchans?

I don't think he forgot deadline😊. He simply didn't send the entry like he did for rest of the awards. Other awards still went ahead and nominated TZP in all categories but I guess IIFA follows National Award selection procedure. In National Awards too producer needs to send the movie else it won't be considered.

Khamoshi which was SLB's best work couldn't be considered in National Awards because of producer's missing the deadline and SLB was mighty miffed also Manisha Koirala who was expecting an award for it.

Exactly! TZP won so many awards in most popular award function. Tisca, Darsheel, Prasoon and many more got their hopes dampened😛.

Back on topic, Aamir could care less. He does not believe in awards anyways.

Abhishek didn't win award last year for Kank then you shouldn't say that Amithab can influence the nominations. If Aamir didn't send his film, it's his choice.

But if Abhishek wins an award this year, it's that he will have deserved it.

No wonder Akshaye not interested in Bollywood. Aamir khan is a very selfish actor and a fake friend....
