Nominations for the 16th Annual Lux Style Awards are out!

It just feels like yesterday when Ali Zafar gave one of the most memorable opening performances ever for an award show, when Sohai Ali Abro danced like there’s no tomorrow and when Mahira won quite a few awards. Yes, that was last year at the 15th annual Lux Style Awards and now, exactly a year later, the awards are back with a bang and just announced the nominations for their 16th edition.

Nominees for LSA 2017 were announced in 28 categories in  Film, Fashion, Music and TV. Talking about the film section we feel that the nominations are pretty fair and almost every nominee deserved the nomination. But we do feel that there have been some major snubs:

1. No Hareem Farooq in Best Actress! That’s blasphemy we say.
2. Hameed Sheikh for Abdullah and Adeel Hussain for Dobara Phir Say should have been there in Best Actor.
3. Nasir Khan definitely deserves a Best Director Nomination!
4. No Rahat, No Sukhwinder? The male singer category is a mess.

Here check out the complete list and decide for yourself:
