The amount of awards that have popped up already, I have lost count of how many! And without keeping count, here’s one more award that we all forgot will happen this year and it’s none other than the Star Guild Awards, which was previously known as the Apsara Awards, an award show that is similar to the Producer Guild Awards or the Emmys in Hollywood. I don’t know why these awards keep changing sponsors, if only they can keep the show real then everything will stay the same. By the way, I have to say all award shows seem the same these days, especially if they are hosted by Shah Rukh Khan! The 8th Star Guild Awards will be held on February 16 2013 in Mumbai. Till we get the winners’ list, check out the nominations below.
