for "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna" , Ayesha Takia won the 'supporting role
female' award for "Dor".
The 'editor's choice for the best
performance of the year' went to Kareena Kapoor for "Omkara" and for
'best director' to Vishal Bharadwaj for the same film.
In the
special awards section, Mithun Charaborty was declared 'role model of
the year' and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Rang De Basanti" 'pride of the
industry'.
Shiney Ahuja and Kangana Ranaut were awarded in the
'superstar of tomorrow' category for their impressive work in "Gangster
- A Love Story".
Shaad Randhawa, who played Kangana's possessive boyfriend in "Woh Lamhe", got the 'new menace award'.
Kunal Kapoor and Gul Panag received 'breakthrough performance' awards for "Rang De Basanti" and "Dor".
In
the music category, composer Mithoon bagged the 'standout performance
by a music director' award for "Ek Pal" and Virag Mishra won 'standout
performance by a lyricist' award for his song "Zinda hoon main" from
"Zinda".
Though Saif's absence was felt, performances by
Kareena, Lara Dutta, Imran Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut kept the audience
entertained at the event attended by amongst others Amitabh Bachchan,
Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham.
