Alphonse (47.23%)

Yes he's truly deserving of it. That vocal effect at the end of Aaromale sounds like a train has reached its destination.

Simply superb!

Best Song Picturisation/Choreography

This is certainly a weird award, but considering the emphasis directors put in making sure, and knowing well, that their movies suck, at least the audience gets to take a gander at the heroines’ cleavages.

Leading the pack is Arima Arima from Endhiran, a sequence which Shankar must have spent the entire GDP of Singapore on. Needless to say, Rajini looked awesome in it, overshadowing his heroine, the brilliant set, and those extremely fake looking silicon lions (cost US$3.99).

Then comes En kadhal solla from Paiya, and Hosana from Vinnai Taandi Varuvayoo which again showcased Goutham Menon’s fixation over the crucifixion pose the heroes often project when they are in lauv.

This followed by Iragai pole (Nan Mahan Alla) and Kilimanjaro, again from Endhiran where Aishwarya Rai showed what would happen if the Loony Toons' Road Runner dances.

More songs from Vinnai Taandi Varuvaya with Mannipaya and Omana Penne, and Kamal gets to showcase his reverse singing talent in the nominated Neela Vaanam song from ManMadhan Ambu. Is there anything this man cannot do? Oh, bungee-jumping into a live volcano? Haha, wait did he hear that?

Last two song in the list is Pookal Pookum (Madarasapattinam) and Usure Poguthey ( Ravanan) the latter in which the heroine went through the extreme torture of looking beautiful all the time.

Yuvan's soulful rendition of Iragai pole (NMA) 1.79% didn't fetch the recognition it deserved. ARR's haunting music or Santosh Sivan's stunning cinematography couldnt help Usure Poguthey ( Ravanan) 3.57% get considerable number of votes. Neither could GVM or Manoj Paramahamsa for Mannippaya (VTV) 5.36%. Evergreen Superstar's leg shakes give Kilimanjaro (Endhiran) 7.14% the 7th spot.


Arima Arima (Endhiran), Omana Penne (VTV), and Pookal Pookum (Madarasapattinam) 8.93% managed to get the same number of votes. Tie is seriously irritating!!

[ajaybaskar]

The winner is...



NEELA VAANAM - Manmadhan Ambu - (23.21%)

The brilliance of UN overshadowed both Hosanna (VTV) 16.07% and En Kadhal Solla (Paiyya) 16.07% which hold the joint 2nd place.

Idhu dhaan dig at Rajini/KamalA? Lame, grouch, lame.
Expect more. Maybe in best actor results? Take time off sitting ducks vijay and surya and focus on the big two there

Hey, I am not a politician to be impartial and neutral okay. I...I...have weaknesses for them. My wife calls them Appaa and Maamaa, for god sake. Naan roomla padukunuma veenama?

Best Lyricist

Best lyricist nomination names are interesting because of the names themselves.

First on is Arivumathi. Look at that name. Which parents would name a child two names that means the same thing. It’s like naming your kid, Sooru Saatham or something. This definitely will go down in the history as the most modest name in this side of Batman Villains.

Then we have Chandru, who’s usually played by Navarasa Nayagan Karthik, and Madhan Karky who is, you guys know this very well, son of one of the most brilliant poets/lyricists/writers Kannadhasan.

The list is followed by Mu Mehta, a veteran lyricist who have been writing since the colonial times, and rubbed shoulders, palm and ears with Bharathidhasan, and Na. Muthukumar, who would have gotten my vote for being brilliant, creative and a fellow balding victim.

Other names in Thamarai, again another brilliant writer, Thiagarajan Kumaraja and Yugabharathi. Finally this list is not complete without one name that should be in any nominations lists ever, like Best Praisefest Contendor, the one and only Jimpalakkadi Jimba…wait, let me get the reading glass…oh yea, it’s Vairamuthu.
