Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra were adjudged for the Best Actor and Actress award at the Star Screen Award ceremony.

Hrithik bagged the award for his performance in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodha Akbar, while Priyanka got it for Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion.

The Best Director award was shared by Ashutosh Gowariker for Jodha Akbar and Neeraj Pandey for A Wednesday. Jodha Akbar also bagged the award for the Best Film of the year 2008.

Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar were honoured with Nokia Popular Viewers' Choice awards for Singh is Kinng and Jodha Akbar respectively.

Akshay Kumar, however, left the viewers and organisers in disbelief by dedicating the award to Aamir Khan for his performance in Ghajini. When called upon the stage, Akshay, said he watched Ghajini and felt that Aamir deserved this honour and left the stage without collecting the trophy.

Tusshar Kapoor bagged Best Supporting Actor in the male category for Golmaal Returns and Sahana Goswami received the award in female category for Rock On. Farhan Akhtar was named as best debut male actor for Rock On and Asin for Ghajini.

A R Rahman, who recently bagged the prestigious golden Globe award in US for his original music in the forthcoming movie Slumdog Millionaire, bagged Best Background Score award for Jodha Akbar.

Apart from sharing the Best Director award, Neeraj Pandey also received the Best Story award for his debut film A Wednesday.

Priyanka Chopra was conspicuous by her absence at the ceremony while Hrithik and Aishwarya were present.
