Lux-style-awards-contorversy

UPDATE: After the Nominations Controversy that Lux Style Awards was involved in, the Review Committee of the LUX Style Awards met to review the film nominations. The Jury tookj under consideration discussed all outstanding issues and agreed to move Ahmad Ali Butt’s Nomination from Best Actor to Best Supporting Actor for his role in Jawani Phir Nahin Aani, as highlighted by him.

The Review Committee decided that the nominations needed some revision as the earlier process was by ballot voting.


As a consequence Danish Taimoor reached towards top five for his performance as the lead role for Wrong Number. The Best Supporting Actor category, this year, will include six nominations.

For future film category considerations for LUX Style Awards, all Production Houses need to submit their screener-film copies to all members of the Jury.

The Copies need to be supported by Film entrees for categories in order to avoid nominee placement in wrong categories.

Ali Safina’s Category has not been revised despite him announcing on Facebook that his name was in the wrong category.

The revised categories now read as follows:

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

Best Film Supporting Actor

  • Ahmed Ali Butt for Jawani Phir Nahin Aani
  • Ali Safina for Jalaibee
  • Javed Sheikh for Wrong Number
  • Shaz Khan for Moor
  • Wasay Chaudhry for Jawani Phir Nahin Aani
  • Yasir Hussain for Karachi sey Lahore
