We give reward to those brilliant students at school who do well in the exams; similarly, the Entertainment industry also give awards to those talented artists who win favors of viewers year by year.
Pakistani artists are no less than anyone else in the world thus to encourage them Lux Style Awards are celebrated every year. People from across the world are able to enjoy this exciting fiesta via TV channels. This year also 12th Lux Style Awards celebration is going to take place soon. Its preparations are in full swing these days and the award nominations are officially announced this Tuesday.
There are twenty-two nominees taken from various entertainment fields like Fashion & Style, Television & Drama, Music and many more. There were three distinguished juries who chose and voted for these categories after many debates. It was a hard and challenging task indeed to narrow down just five nominations from each category. “Film category” is not included this year, as not much work done and appreciated in movies last year.
