*** I must point out that Ranbir Kapoor should have gotten his nomination his outstanding performance in Wake Up Sid and not Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.

***I also feel that Abhay Deol really got snubbed for Dev. D ...this was one of the best performances of the year, at least in my opinion, and he received no recognition for it.  {I mean, Ranbir is great but he did not deserve to get 2 nominations}

I really hope that Filmfare does a better job of nominating those performances that truly deserve it...
