Vijay Awards 8th Annual Awards - Politically Correct!

I was watching Vijay awards today. Felt like Vijay TV was trying hard to please the stars who were in attendance and awards were being doled out  based on what the most politically right thing to do rather than who was deserving, how did Vijay Sethupathi not win an award? What's wrong with Vijay TV who have some decent programming. Why do you have to give Siva Karthikeyan award every year (I like him nevertheless) all his movies are monotonous and the same have the same kind of characterization. Siva, I have better scripts in mind for you :).

Grow up guys, have a professional award event, populism will not work, may be in the short term you can pull stars and the film fraternity. Encourage the right talent and how can there be multiple actor awards (jury and favorite)?

I hope things will change and you will not stoop down for populism and please watch the oscars multiple times before the next awards function. I must say one thing though, that Vijay awards is much better than trashy bollywood awards function which tend to be very plastic and you can see the faction war out in the open.

Jury must decide the awards and jury must have adequate representation from all quarters of the industry. All the best next year.

We need more such endeavors that will help construct our national psyche for future generations.
