After a short hiatus due to the migration of the Hub, we are back at announcing the results of Hub Awards 2011.
With the new platform, we hope to do a better presentation!

Get ready people!

[S.T.D.]

Here are the nominees, for Enggeyum Kaadhal, Aalap Raju. Why alap? His siblings name are Sanggathi Rani, or Birkha Bairavan or what?

There is an interview of him in this month's Cine Fashion. A good looking chap.

Hope you read/buy Cine Fashion - its about the best mag on cinema in Malaysia, with attention paid to language, photos and overall design.

Best Lyricist

First on is Arivumathi. Look at that name. Which parents would name a child two names that means the same thing. It’s like naming your kid, Sooru Saatham or something. This definitely will go down in the history as the most modest name in this side of Batman Villains.

Keep them coming bro!

Best Song Picturisation/Choreography

This is certainly a weird award, but considering the emphasis directors put in making sure, and knowing well, that their movies suck, at least the audience gets to take a gander at the heroines’ cleavages.

Leading the pack is Arima Arima from Endhiran, a sequence which Shankar must have spent the entire GDP of Singapore on. Needless to say, Rajini looked awesome in it, overshadowing his heroine, the brilliant set, and those extremely fake looking silicon lions (cost US$3.99).

Then comes En kadhal solla from Paiya, and Hosana from Vinnai Taandi Varuvayoo which again showcased Goutham Menon’s fixation over the crucifixion pose the heroes often project when they are in lauv.

This followed by Iragai pole (Nan Mahan Alla) and Kilimanjaro, again from Endhiran where Aishwarya Rai showed what would happen if the Loony Toons' Road Runner dances.

More songs from Vinnai Taandi Varuvaya with Mannipaya and Omana Penne, and Kamal gets to showcase his reverse singing talent in the nominated Neela Vaanam song from ManMadhan Ambu. Is there anything this man cannot do? Oh, bungee-jumping into a live volcano? Haha, wait did he hear that?

Last two song in the list is Pookal Pookum (Madarasapattinam) and Usure Poguthey ( Ravanan) the latter in which the heroine went through the extreme torture of looking beautiful all the time.

[Big A]

Best Female Playback Singgar

Here we are once again, with a handful nominations full of beautiful women who contributed to the well-being of Tibetans. Who am I kidding, I have here names of singers, most of whom I have not heard about singing films I have not seen

Here we go, first we have Anwesha who invested her vocal in Mandhira Punnagai, a film that has nothing to do with Sathyaraj.

Then we have Gurupriya who was used for the film Kanden, which nyaan kanddutulla.

Finally a singer from a film which I have seen and almost wept not because its terribly sad, but you don’t see much of them these days. And it’s Hamsika for Angadi Theru.

[MannoFr]

Where did Andrea and Shreya Goshal go ? or is it debut singer ? Anwesha debut illaiyE

[radikal]

Kanden hasnt released yet?

[9mm_fan]

Anwesha debut illaiyE

Huh? Debut dhaanE.. Megam vandhu pOgum dhaan first thamizh song.

[Ifroham4]

Huh? Debut dhaanE.. Megam vandhu pOgum dhaan first thamizh song.

I was not sure.. thanks Nerd and also it says best female singer not debut singer so I got a bit confused. In best female singer category I dont remember any one otehr than Andrea and Shreya.

[Lt_Apple]

This has got to be debut (as ShreyA had a cake walk in the best female singer, IIRC. Unless there had been any "proxy" issues, she should have won by a mile.)

[Drugmachine]

Best Debut Male Singer


Am I hearing complaints. Do you what happens to those who whine?



App, people don't walk on cakes, please.

Now that I got your attention here we go.



It’s no surprise that I don’t know any of the nominees since they are newcomers. But then this is an important moment for them. This is their first step, the giant step into the industry and then get invited to judge kid shows.

Here are the nominees, for Enggeyum Kaadhal, Aalap Raju. Why alap? His siblings name are Sanggathi Rani, or Birkha Bairavan or what?

That followed by Ajeesh for Goa, Alphones for VTV, Kirthi Sagahtya for Madhira Punnagai, Raman Mahadevan for that film that stole the title from NT’s classic comedy, Suresh Iyer for Angadi Theru and Yateeshwar Karthikraja for Nandhalalalala….

Whoever you guys are, all the best and stand in line behind more new singers…

Best Female Singer (Debut) - Results

Gurupriya is the first one to bow out with 3.7% votes. Singing in a film that got a limited release didn't help her cause. Hamsika got 40.74% votes to finish second.

The winner is...



Anwesha Datta Gupta
Anwesha's "Megam Vandhu Pogum" earned her 55.56% votes and Hub's award for Best Female Singer (Debut).

[radikal]

Congrats Anwesha. Pristine voice and lovely singing. Here's the song for those who have not heard it

[tgs]

Thanks Nerd for the link. Somehow didn't like the song, but her voice and singing is Hope to hear her more in Tamil albums.

[MannoFr]

Best Male Singer(Debut) - Results

Kirthi Sagathiya, Aalap Raju and Raman Mahadevan didn't find much favor from hubbers getting just less than 5% each. The remaining ones are Yatheeshwar Karthikraja, Suresh Iyer, Alphonse and Ajeesh. Hold on for few minutes before the winner is announced.

[Drugmachine]

The winner is...



Alphonse Joseph

Alphonse (47.23%) overtook Ajeesh (27.27%) by a handsome margin as Yatheeshwar and Suresh Iyer got 6.82% each and tied for the third place.

[LottiFurmann]

Yatheeshwar third place

Nov, the best mag on cinema in Malaysia-va? Oh, athellam theriyathu. I freelanced for them for a year or so. One of my last contribution was a piece on Manirathnam, where I wrote the good and the bad, she (the editor) published only the good. Best magazine. Yeah, kelvipatten. Best magazine if they did coverage for you. Yeah, most of my life revolved around mag industry, enakkum konjam konjam teriyin.
