Khuda Kay Liye scoops Film Nominations; Music and TV tussle very robust

KARACHI : Very predictably Khuda Kay Liye scooped up all the Film Awards nominations for the 7 th Annual LUX Style Awards. Pakistan 's most credible and coveted Awards show released its Entertainment Nominations for Film, Music and Television on Friday and unveiled a fascinating mix bag of nominations. The announcement reinforced the belief that while the Film industry is still not as vibrant as it should be - it was Shoaib Mansoor's Khuda Kay Liye all the way - there is a tremendous surge of new talent in both the Music and Television industries.

Albums from Jal, Ali Azmat, Atif Aslam, Abrar ul Haq and Rozen were all nominated in the Best Music Album category. Uns Mufti's Broken Boundaries for Coven, Bilal Lashari's
Dhamaal for Overload, Ahsan Rahim's Sajania by Ali Zafar, Bilal Lashari'sSajni for Jal and Soheb Akhtar'sUjaloan Mein for Mizraab were the top five nominations in the Best Music Video category.

A new category was introduced for the Awards this year and the best single of the year nominees were Aisi Taisi by Azal, Bandeya by Khawar/Faiza from Khuda Kay Liye, Laree Chootee by Call, Roya Re by Shiraz Uppal and Sajni by Jal. The fourth music category of Best Live Act was dominated by Josh, Mauj, Meekal Hassan Band, Overload andStrings.
Hum TV and Geo shared most of the Satellite TV nominations and the tussle to grab the top awards for Best TV Play, Best Actor and Best Actress for both the Satellite and Terrestrial Channel segments will settled by viewer's choice votes across Pakistan via SMS and on the LUX Style Awards website. Traditionally LSA announces a single nomination for the Film segments as the Awards only believe in rewarding excellence and not making up the numbers by announcing multiple nominees.

The LUX Style Awards for excellence in Film, TV, Music and Fashion are held every year and are the most coveted in the Entertainment and Fashion Industries.
