7th Annual Vijay Awards Full Nominees Details
Favorites :
There are thirty two categories of awards covering every aspect of cinema, including a special award to Unsung Heroes. Majority of the awards are decided by the judges through a system of voting. There are a handful of awards however, that are left to an even bigger panel of judges; THE AUDIENCE! Called the ‘Favourite’ Awards, the winners are decided only by the audience.
For the last six years the Rasigan Express travelled through various cities in the state giving the people an opportunity to vote for their Favourite stars and movies. This year that tradition was changed. Star Vijay came up with three innovative ways of getting the people to vote. First up was the option to vote online. The second option was to send SMS and the third allowed people to give a missed call. May 01 2013 was the only day on which voting took place and the response was spectacular.
