So after the LUX Style Awards, HUM Awards and ARY Film Awards we have another set of awards in town and they promise to give us a night full of glamour which will celebrate the best in film, fashion, television,music and sports. We are talking about the upcoming HUM Style Awards which are all set to take place later this month in Karachi. The nominations for the awards are out and honestly they have us a bit confused.
The first question we have is about the exact criteria of the awards. As pointed out in this piece by Dawn Images ‘Are they being doled out to celebs that dress the best on-screen (in which case the credit really goes to the film’s stylist, costume designers, director and other people with creative input) or off-screen, where the celebrities’ own preferences are likely to come into play.’
Secondly, coming to the film awards we wonder what time frame was considered when choosing the nominations. Generally awards consider films from January 1st to December 31st so we thought the awards would focus on year 2015 and include actors whose films released last year. However the presence of Shehryar Munawar, Iman Ali and other actors who had films release in year 2016 make us wonder what was the cut off date? For if films from 2016 were included then the cast of Janaan should definitely have been there as it was probably the most stylish cast to have graced the silver screen in recent times. Also we have serious issues with some names as they may be great actors but stylish they are definitely not!
Also some nominations from the other categories have quite a few snubs and names which would make one go WTF! But lets not get into it and leave it on the viewers to decide for themselves. Here is the complete list of nominations
