The awards office of the 12th Annual LUX Style Awards announced nominations in 22 categories in the field of television, music and fashion in Karachi on Friday. The three distinct juries that debated and voted for the TV, Music and Fashion nominations had an intensive and challenging task to narrow down to five nominations per category. The Film Jury refrained from suggesting any 2012 release for nomination this year. The eight TV nominations were divided into satellite and terrestrial for the Best Serial, Best Actor/Actresses categories. The final winner for each of these categories is decided by Viewer’s Choice votes while nominees for Best Director and Writer Awards will be decided via Jury Votes. Hum TV’s mega blockbuster hit ‘Humsafar’ has a presence in all relevant categories as it is now eligible for inclusion this year as against 2011, per the rules of the LUX Style Awards. The competition in all TV categories is expected to be intense. Competition for the nine Fashion Categories was tough and challenging. The Jury, made up of fashion editors and journalists across Pakistan voted for top five in each category. Fashion’s new vibrancy is gauged most by the entry of so many new practitioners in the Emerging Talent category. The other categories reflected the state of the industry with its blend of entrenched old guard still exciting with new ideas and the push up by vibrant new talent to edge them out and gain a foothold in the big design, styling and photography categories. The LUX Style Awards for excellence in the field of Entertainment and Fashion in Pakistan are held annually and aired throughout the country on several national channels.
