Break-Out Actress of 2018: @sanyamalhotra07 or @NushratBharucha or the easy answer, #SaraAliKhan ? Or Someone Else?
I’ve decided I get to make up my own rules for this category. It’s not an actress whose first movie was this year (although there are some of those), it could also be an actress who had been around for a while but finally got noticed this year. And as always, I will make my nominations just to get the ball rolling, but you can write in your own votes too.
Best Producer/Studio of 2018! Colour Yellow or YRF or Balaji or Dharma or Phantom ?
A new category! Let us recommend the person behind the people! The studio and producers who coordinate it all. Some of this are all in one type places, loads of money and studio space and all that. Some of them are more about the moral support and advice. But, who is the best? The one who picked the best most interesting films of 2018?
DCIB Awards 2018!!! Best Hindi Film of Each Genre, Action, Thriller, Comedy, Romance, Family, True Story
Okay, calm down, I am aware that I am ignoring non-Hindi films. This is the area that I am nominating myself, and I haven’t seen enough non-Hindi to do it. Don’t worry, there is also a “write-in” option
