Live Coverage: 54th Filmfare Awards

The Filmfare Awards are being conducted at Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai. Bollywood's glitterati was shining at the event. And as the night progresses, SBO will bring you the winners as they are announced.


Best Film
Ashutosh Gowariker and Ronnie Screwvala also walked away with the prize for Best Film for Jodhaa Akbar. On having won both Best Director and Best Film, Ashutosh was all smiles. "I am extremely thrilled. This is wonderful. This is such an honour for me for one of the most difficult movie I have made in my career. Thanks to UTV. Thanks to Haider Ali who wrote this film. You are the real emperor. Thanks to my fans for appreciating my work. Thanks my wife Sunita," said the director.

Best Director
Ashutosh Gowarikar made a quick dash back to the stage. This time to collect his own award for Best Director for his magnum opus Jodhaa Akbar

Best Actor (Male)
Hrithik Roshan won the Best Actor (Male) Award for Jodhaa Akbar. However, all Hrithik fans were left diappointed as the actor failed to show up to the award ceremony. His trophy was collected by the film's director Ashutosh Gowarikar.
Best Actor (Female)
Priyanka Chopra won the Best Actor (Female) Award for her moving performance in Fashion.
The actress who hurt herself last week and has been sporting a bandage on her calf made her way slowly tot he stage. "I am limping a little bit tonight as I met with a small accident recently. This award is an honour. Thanks to UTV and Madhur for believing in me. My family and my fans, thanks to all," said the actress as she collected her Filmfare Award.

Lifetime Achievement Award: Om Puri
The second Lifetime Achievement Award of the night went to the very senior and very versatile actor Om Puri.

The actor who was presented the award by another legend, Amitabh Bachchan, was his usual humble self on stage. The actor thanked Filmfare and shared a lovely memory about colleague Naseeruddin Shah on stage. "Art cinema gave me the credibility as an actor and opportunities to showcase my talent. I would like to thank my friends who were with me at all times. I still remember in 1974 when Nasseruddin encouraged me to enroll myself to National School of Drama. I was going to be rejected because of my poor appearance. But my examiners gave me A plus and I made it to the school."
