i think they didnt include tzp because aamir doesnt believe in awards but it doesnt make sense to boycott it since they were many other ppl involved in making the film, its unfair to those technicians and writers to be cut out because of one persons belief, even in filmfare they didnt have any videos from the movie, but at least they were in fair in giving the awards...

seems like they are going the oscar way, i think it was marlon brando who publicly denounced the oscars and after that they never nominated him again even though he was a brillant actor....
