MAIN Art & ... Movies Filmfare Awards

The Filmfare Awards, the equivalent of Hollywood's Oscars, each year parades a Who's Who of top Bollywood films and their legendary stars along with new and aspiring actors, actresses, and film directors.

Hosted this year by Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan, all the glamour and excitement at the 55th Filmfare Awards took place at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai on February 27, 2010.

The big contenders for Bollywood's biggest film prizes? They included some of the most popular commercial successes over the past year — including Kaminey, starring Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra; and 3 Idiots, starring Aamir, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor. Both films are competed in categories like best film, best director, best actor and best actress.
