Yesterday after so much waiting and lots of controversies the state film awards for the year 2014 has been declared. But that had started another set of controversies as usual as many people are not at all satisfied with the decisions of the jury. This happens every year, after announcing the awards and the cry against the injustice towards the ones who actually deserves the honors usually happens. But it burns down after sometimes and the same thing repeats the next year and it goes on and on, it’s just a chain reaction.
Yesterday’s declaration of awards also had these sorts of complaints as usual and the main shocker was for the ones who disagreed the award given to Nazriya Nazim for Best Actress. But the cry is all about the best actor award given to Nivin Pauly for the films named 1983 and Bangalore Days when outstanding performances like Mammootty’s Munnariyippu and Jayasurya’s Appothecary was there to compete along with it. Many people or most of the people thinks that Jayasurya deserved the award for Best Actor of 2014 as he had really gave a sterling performance as ‘Subi’ in Appothecary and ‘Ankoor Ravuthar’ in Iyobinte Pusthakam. Some other people is of the opinion that Mammootty should have been the best actor for his performance in the film named Munnariyippu by Venu.
People don’t really know what happened at the award jury while they were screening the films. Now jury members itself told to leading Medias about what was actually happened there while they were selecting the best actor award. According to the jury Members, Mammootty’s performance in Munnariyippu was not as good as Jayasurya’s or Nivin’s. Mammootty was not even considered for the best actor award after the second round. It was Nivin Pauly and Jayasurya had competed in the final round and just before they decided to give Nivin the best actor award that the performance of Sudev Nair in ‘My Life Partner’ came up and it had drawn a great round of applause from every members of the jury. So they decided to give the award to both of them.
In the decision of best actress it was a race between Manju Warrier and Nazriya Nazim and as the jury felt that Nazriya’s character is more lively compared to the character played by Manju Warrier and the cinema looked like made for her only, they decided to give Nazriya the award.
