2 vote lead translating to 4%. That doesn't show too many people voting for the awards. About 50 voted perhaps. Anyway, congrats to the winners in each category.

>>Around the middle of the voting process, ARR went into the lead, Yuvan was in 2nd and Vidyasagar's position was precarious and was losing out..

YSR deserves! He gave more hits than ARR!

Hubber Award (TFM) 2005!

After going through the nominations.. unfortunately no one has got all 7 awards correctly. The maximum score anyone got was 6. This happens to be the best prediction. So, who came up with it? Not 1, not 2.. three hubbers have made it..! They are..

[Fegasderty]

The three TFM "visionaries" of 2005 are dinesh2002, Scale and ansa400.. Good show, guys!

But the prize has to go only one and so a tie breaker applies. We have chosen the hubber who posted the predictions the earliest (and hence may have "influenced" others).

So the award goes to the earlybird...

dinesh2002

Congrats! You win a music CD of choice..! I'll contact you shortly for details.

Congrats Dinesh! Actually his nomination at first gave me(us) the clear idea (for MD/Album category).

Glad ALL the three (dinesh,scale(me),ansa) of us are HC ARR fans and voted for YSR. I think V failed only in the picturisation category.

CHALE CHALO CHALE CHALO ....

Scale naNbA, actually I dint vote I was quite busy and one fine day I decided to vote but the link was already gone Anyways that wouldnt have made much difference, ARR would have still lost by a vote

Anyways appreciations for your accurate predictions, way to go

Song of the Year

Of the hundreds of songs released in a year, which song will have the prestigious award as Song of the Year?

Nominations poured in for several songs, with most not even seeing the light of the day. What would qualify for the best song of the entire year? Would it be the lyrics, the tune, the orchestration, the singers or the picturisation?

It’s all these and more. The song also needs to become popular. Thus the battle were among a chosen few:

• Ada ennaatha solvenungo (Sivakaasi)
  Andankaakka (Anniyan)
  Kaatril Varum Geethame (Oru naal oru Kanavu)
  Mayilirage (Ah Aah)
  Raa Raa (Chandramukhi)
  Suttum Vizhi Sudare (Gajini)
  Theeppidikka (Arindhum Ariyaamalum)

Best Choreography

Technological advances have been best made to use in Tamil films. Generally, it is accepted that Tamil films are miles ahead at least in terms of technology, when compared with films of other languages. The trend of having group dancers accompanying the lead pair in overseas locations continued into 2005 and is expected to also remain so in 2006!

Kannum kannum nokia from Anniyan was shot from angles never seen in KLIA and Petronas Towers. Inside sources say that the water bed (with goldfish swimming it it) - shown for a mere 10 seconds on the screen, cost the producers RM25,000 - that is almost 3 lakhs!

On the extreme other end, Raa raa, which was shot entirely in a studio, but which was the highlight of the movie Chandramukhi, too captured the fascination of audience world wide.

Yet another kind of picturisation - depending entirely on computer graphics - was also popular. Lakhs was spend doing fancy stuff in the song Mayilirage from the movie Ah Aah - though many would have prefered any other hero, other than director SJ Surya.

Other competition in this category was the very stylish picturisation of Suttum vizhi sudare (Gajini) and the ultra sexy Theeppidikka (Arindhum Ariyaamalum).

So what captured our Hubbers imagination?
