She was nominated for several Best Actress awards (for Khoobsurat) this year, but Sonam Kapoor didn't win a single one.

She says, "The fact that I was nominated was more than enough for me. Kangana Ranaut gave a far more mature performance in Queen. Her role was far more resonant than mine. If I was a jury member, I'd give her the award."

She is all love and praise for her contemporaries calling Priyanka Chopra's act in Mary Kom the other stellar performance. "Kangana in Queen and Priyanka in Mary Kom were the two best performances in any Best Acting (Male or Female) category, hands down," she notes.

She reserves special praise for Tabu, who won awards in the Best Supporting Actress category. She insists, "By no means was she the supporting actress in Haider. According to me the part played by Shraddha Kapoor was the supporting role. Tabu was one of the film's leads."

Calling her role in Khoobsurat a "comic role", she expressed disappointment that "comedy is not looked on as a serious genre." She adds, "The fact that I was nominated was more than enough for me. And while I was given an award for Best Performance in a Romantic Comedy, I wonder why only dramas are taken seriously at awards. If I was still noticed and recognised for Khoobsurat I am happy with that."

Sonam is hopeful about an award next year. "This was my fourth nomination. Hopefully I'll be lucky the fifth time," she concludes.
