Filmfare Awards: Deepika Padukone's films lead nominees list

Highlights

• Nominations for the 59th Filmfare Awards have been announced and, predictably, the list veers towards popular choices. Critically acclaimed films like Lootera and The Lunchbox are conspicuous by their absence from the Best Film and Best Director categories, and scoop just one acting nomination each. Oscar entry The Good Road is missing entirely.
• Actress Deepika Padukone, a recent winner at the Screen Awards, scores two nominations in the Best Actress category. Her film Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani leads the list with nine nominations, Goliyon Ka Rasleela Ram-Leela, also starring Deepika, manages seven while Chennai Express, starring Deepika again, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Raanjhanaa and Aashiqui 2 have six each.
• The event will take place in Mumbai on January 24 and will be hosted by Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor.
