Indian award shows are famous for giving away the top trophies to the star who is in attendance. That speaks more than enough about the credibility of most of the awards around here. If you also believe so, this news is for you. We might just get an award show that is unbiased and untainted. Film Critics Guild and Motion Content Group will be hosting the first ever Critic's Choice Awards in India this year. The group earlier held the  Critics’ Choice Short Film Awards. HT India’s Most Stylish 2019 Awards Full Winners' List: Shah Rukh Khan-Gauri, Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal Take Away the Coveted Trophies.

Critic's Choice Awards  2019 will be a pan-India awards body which will award the best of Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam cinema. Anupama Chopra, Chairperson, FCG told Firstpost, “The FCG is the first registered body of film critics in India. We are a pan-Indian, pan-language, pan-platform body. We have critics from print, television, radio and digital and our opinions reach millions of people including 32 lakh on Twitter alone! It gives us great pleasure to announce the first Critics Choice Film Awards to honour and celebrate the finest talent in Indian cinema. We hope that these awards will contribute to setting and raising standards for films in the country.” Zee Cine Awards 2019 Full Winners List: Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Vicky Kaushal, Janhvi Kapoor Take Away the Trophies Home.

Credible critics from all over India will form a panel to first shortlist the nominations amongst the hundreds of entries from across the country. The nominations for the Critics’ Choice Film Awards will be announced in the first week of April 2019, while the ceremony itself will take place on 21 April.  Critics’ Choice Film Awards will be honouring movies and moviemakers on the basis of filmmaking as opposed to mere popularity like every award these days. We are certainly looking forward.
