Just compare today's extravaganzas with the good old times when there was just the Filmfare Award and every citizen of B-town walked gracefully up the steps of the Shamuganandha Hall, where thespians showed up regardless of whether they were being feted or not, where nobody bore a grudge..."
Actor Ajay Devgn, who has boycotted award functions, answered this one for the Press, "They give awards to those who attend the function. So they keep their options open. If all come, then the award gets divided."

My grouse is about the attire. In the old pictures one can see almost everyone dressed appropriately for the function-men in suits/formals and women in silk sarees (not gaudy, shimmery stuff) with proper shoes (not chappals). It was a farce even then because actors like Guru Dutt were overlooked for the favorite Dilip Kumar but at least blockbuster King Rajender Kumar was not winning it for his hamming act. One good thing is that in spite of the resentment, everyone showed up and supported the fraternity. Now fraternity means Karan Johar/Yash Chopra and their cronies.He will have some credibility if his wifey was not collecting it. Oh, yeah! she likes them awards.

While the craft of film-making has moved forward with a never-before-seen variety in theme, ideation and treatment, the charmed star is yet to realise that his shine has somewhat jaded and that he indeed needs some revision lessons rather than clutch on desperately to the aura that's receded into the shadows a long time ago. That's why a Colin Firth wins an Oscar at 50 for a flawed character instead of the sexy Mr Darcy he was in his 30s.
This just says it all. It will take a long time before Bollywood can overcome its obsession on solely glitz and glamor and actually take in performances as well

I would disagree about not seeing actresses in their 30s since recently the audience has warmed up to the idea of them but I do think that people do not want to see leading actresses in their 40s and 50s. The roles are too limited for an actress at that age, as was kindly pointed out to Madhuri
