After the super-successful Half-Yearly Awards 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, we are back this year with the sixth edition! All those who came late, here’s a brief idea of this concept: through this initiative, we’ll take into account all the films that released in the first 6 months of the year (Jan to June). 2 reasons for doing this – one, during the awards season, films released throughout the year are considered and hence due to the huge number of movies, many interesting and deserving films get left out (at times, deliberately). And secondly, people are losing trust from the so-called awards and are increasingly seen as rigged. However, FENIL’S HALF YEARLY AWARDS gives you a chance to vote for your favourites and give them the appreciation and honour which they rightfully deserve!

A jury of 7 die hard movie buffs - Joginder Tuteja, Shalu Dhyani, Akashdeep Saxena, Himesh Mankad, Shakun R Narang, Avijit Das Patnaik and yours truly Fenil Seta have decided upon the nominations.

With the advent of so many item songs, the category of ‘Best Item Girl(s)’ was decided to be permanently incorporated last year. However, this year, with very few item songs, we have decided to do away with the said category, for now. Also, just like the system followed by the Academy Awards and Filmfare, we have chopped off Best Actor In A Negative Role and Best Actor In A Comic Role categories. At the same time, we have compensated for the same by increasing the number of nominees in the Best Actor In A Supporting Role (Male) category

So, all you guys, start voting and help to choose the right winners! It won’t even take more than 2 minutes! Hurry Up! Voting closes on Sunday, July 27 at 9 am IST. Results will be announced on Monday July 28! And let all your moviegoing friends/family members/relatives/acquaintances know about these awards! I want this year’s edition to be much bigger than previous four seasons! So GET SET VOTE!!
