The nominations for the 15th annual Nokia Star Screen Awards have been announced. According to the website, “The year 2008 has seen many innovations in the Indian film industry. Many established formulas have been brought to naught and experimental filmmakers have continued to establish their presence at the box office. Keeping this exciting year in mind, Screen Awards is even more honoured to bring to you the awards for this year because this year goes well with the idea of Screen awards that is professional excellence and nothing else.”
