The jury is choosing not just the winners, but also picking the nominees.
Indian award functions have always been in the news for all the wrong reasons. For being biased and favouring friends. However, judging by the awards shows this year, not much has changed. There is no transparency in the system or clarity on in the manner in which the winners are selected . The Zee Cine Awards 2016 is going to change that forever.
Starting this year, a team of jury members will pick not only the winners but also decide who are the deserving nominees. In the few awards function that do have juries, the members have no option but to choose from the list of nominees, which may or may not be desirable to them.
Zee takes pride in introducing a transparent judging process with senior and renowned members of the industry like Rakesh Roshan, Anurag Basu, Leena Yadav, Prasoon Joshi, Ravi K Chandran, Resul Pookutty and Shantanu Moitra on its panel who will be picking actors and technicians who will be nominated for their excellence in cinematic achievements and then pick the winners. The jury will select the best in the field of acting, direction, music and cinematography.
