TheScreen Awards was an annual awards ceremony held in India, honouring professional excellence inBollywood. The nomination and award selection was done by a panel of distinguished professionals from the industry. The awards were introduced byScreen magazine ofthe Indian Express Group in 1995. The magazine was acquired byStar India in 2015 and subsequently closed down.[1] Star India continues to sponsor the event under theStar Screen Awards title.
The name of each year's ceremony was determined by the presenting network: the first "Star Screen Awards" were telecast onStar Plus from 2000 until 2011, after which the "Colors Screen Awards" were broadcast onColors and the "Life OK Screen Awards" onLife OK, each for a period of two years. As of 2019, Star continues to hold the television distribution rights to the event.[2]
The Screen Awards, initiated by the chairman ofthe Express Group,Viveck Goenka, in 1994, focused on excellence in Indian films. The prizes were awarded by film industry insiders, as opposed to other award ceremonies, where winners are determined by juries. The Screen Awards were the first to be conducted annually.[3]
Until 2001, the awards were sponsored byVideocon International and hence known as the Screen Videocon Awards.[4] For regional film industries of South India, Screen has held three editions of the Screen Awards for excellence in South Indian cinema, and prizes were awarded forTamil,Telugu,Malayalam, andKannada cinema.[citation needed]
