I feel lately Hassam's been a better director, Sarmad tends to mess up sometimes like Ashk, SEZ, Mera Yakeen etc

Mata e jaan :)

Faysal's a great actor. But his time has sort of faded away. When he was extremely deserving of the awards, he was snubbed with Humayun and Noman winning repetitively. I mean no one can get more versatile than Faysal, only Fahad comes close. But off late I don't see the same effort or charisma in Faysal. I don't know what it exactly is but something's a miss in him. Maybe the choice of dramas? And the fact that he's working with such young co-actresses? He's done more challenging roles in the past, and that too effortlessly. A character similar to Jahez we've seen him play previously, so at this point I"d like Fawad to win.

But then again, it's a tough and close call. Many people voted for him as well. Last year was even more tougher. I wanted both Fahad and Faysal to win, but they only gave it to Faysal. Poor Fahad was left with nothing.

LSA's more about style, glamour and fashion. Even music matters more than television here. DES was snubbed at Hum Awards where it rightly deserved nominations. But that's Hum Televisions fault. That channel is full of dirty politics, so maybe they had issues with the production team of DES?

I mean I don't understand how Sanjha becomes more deserving than DES or SEZ lol

I would never criticize the audiences taste because something has to click with them to vote on popularity. As unfair as it may seem that deserving people are left out, the only people you can blame is the organizers. There always needs to be a jury based award and a popularity based award for television, otherwise well the results will always be baffling lol

Award functions are always unexpected. I know they effect people, but it's best to try and not expect much from them,

Considering PTV always has it's own set of awards, why are terrestrial serials even nominated here? Isn't Lux more of a satellite thing? They could just keep jury/popular instead. I don't think people really bother about the terrestrial awards from what I've noticed.

Then again, nothing in Lux is Jury any more unlike a few years back, so having television awards based on Jury wouldn't really make sense.

It certainly isn't, but there has to be some authenticity given to the audiences. You and I may always differ from the general audiences view, but I think gaining popularity is a very tricky thing, being able to click with the audience. So in a way the audience is a tough critic as well. I may personally have wanted both Fahad and Faysal to win, but perhaps the audience saw something more in Faysal's performance than Fahad's? Of-course everyone has there personal favourites, voting for that reason. But were going to have to accept that these award shows aren't going to be pleasing us any time soon. Even if a separate award show was made just for television, I can bet it'll always be unfair and biased to an extent. That's just the way it is around the world, especially in India and Pakistan.
