Award SUCKS...Max Stardust Awards 2009

Well its that time of the year when the Bollywood awards will be given out. And I am so sad to see that their is not a single fraternity who gives out genuine awards. (It's good to see that Aamir Khan boycott this activity)

Filmfare used to be good in the past ... but from last one decade or so....they have also followed the suites of sponsers and giving out the awards to the high profile/popular actors instead of judging the talents. 

Most of the times we see Oscars - been ditched and critized here in India, but overall Oscars' been very fair over the years.

Reviewing various cases....it also makes me think.... for any organizations/company/fraternity - seeking sponsors effects their decisions powers... so beware before bringing the fundings....
