As awards are always mange to create appreciation among celebrities and this year’s LSA nominations are not so different. The Review Committee of the LUX Style Awards has finally revised the list of nominees in the film category days after celebrities like Ahmad Ali Butt and Ali Safina took to social media to express their dismay.
Ahmad Ali Butt had requested that his nomination (for his performance in JPNA) in the Best Actor category be moved to the Best Supporting Actor category. His wish was granted.
However, since the removal of his name in the Best Actor category opened up a slot, Danish Taimoor’s name has now been added to the list. Danish has been nominated for his performance in Wrong No.
Ali Safina, who wasn’t as lucky as Ahmad Ali had been nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his performance in Jalaibee, announced that he didn’t only want his nomination withdrawn from LSA but also wasn’t going to participate in any future award shows. His nomination hasn’t been revised.
Here is the updated list of nominees:
Best Film Actor
Adnan Sarwar for Shah
Danish Taimoor for Wrong Number
Hameed Sheikh for Moor
Humayun Saeed for Jawani Phir Nahin Aani
Sarmad Sultan Khoosat for Manto
