Why should Amitabh be awarded?

They announced the Filmfare Awards tonight and what a shame! Amitabh Bachchan was adjusted 'Best Actor' for his performance in 'Paa' ....... Surely, the jury could have found a better rationale than to award Amitabh for a role that was nothing beyond the pale of imagination ......... Versatile actors like Naseer, Kamal  and Sanjeev have done greater justice to similar roles and have never even been appreciated, so it's indeed a matter of great surprise when Amitabh gets renown where even actors better than him have not been commended

In a year, that boasted of brilliant performances as diverse as Irrfan in Billoo, Shaahid Kapoor in Kaminey, Saif Ali Khan in Love Aaj Kal, Abhishek Bachchan in Dilli 6 and of course Aamir Khan in 3 Idiots, what could have been so great about a performance that did not even speak to the heart that it had to be awarded a Filmfare? Since when has Filmfare become a personal fiefdom of the Bachchan family? Why should an award a year be the norm for a family which is grossly overrated?

Sad to say this but Filmfare has lost it - from a class apart to a chatel apart, it has been a story that was better never written!
