So, here are the popular choice award categories that you can vote for:This year’s best original film category has an eclectic mix of entries. From the inspiring biopic, Shershaah, on Param Vir Chakra recipient Vikram Batra, to the Rathan Prapancha heartbreaking journey of an insurance agent. The other films in this category include Tamil superstar Suriya’s riveting courtroom drama Jai Bhim, Kartik Aaryan’s Bollywood crime drama Dhamaka, the Telugu crime drama Senapathi, Kriti Sanon’s comedy-drama Mimi, and the Kannada comedy drama Ratnan Prapancha.We’ve collated the most popular movies across languages that moved us beyond measure. Now it’s up to you to pick your favourite.

Moving on to the next category, Best Actor Male in a popular film. Tovino Thomas’s spandex-clad avatar in the superhero comedy Minnal Murali proved that some heroes still wear capes. And Vicky Kaushal’s immersive performance in the biopic on freedom fighter Udham Singh in Sardar Udham laid out the blueprint for cinematically adapting real events without embellishing facts or resorting to creative liberties. The other nominees are Dhananjaya for Ratnan Prapancha, Arya for the sports drama Sarpatta Parambarai, Kartik Aryan for Dhamaka, and Siddharth Malhotra for the war biopic Shershaah.This is going to be a tough choice. But you have to pick one.

Taapsee Pannu’s thriller-romantic-drama Haseen Dillruba was dubbed one of the most promising genre-bending films of the year. And Revathy was spellbinding as the mother trapped with her estranged daughter during the lockdown in Modern Love Hyderabad are some of the nominees for the Best Actor Female in popular film. Kriti Sanon for Mimi, Keerthy Suresh for the crime drama Saani Kaayidham, and Taapsee Pannu for Haseen Dilruba are the other top actors in the category.We’d request you to choose carefully.

The next category is Best Web Series. Now, here’s where the swords will really cross fiercely. This has been the year of superhit second seasons which were inevitably compared to the success of the first and on most counts, they managed to stand their ground. The compelling account of a secret agent trying to eliminate national threats while grappling with various personal challenges made Family Man Season 2 one of the most critically-acclaimed shows of the year. And then we have Jeetendra Kumar slipping into the slow life of engineering graduate Abhishek Tripathi who reluctantly accepted the position of a Panchayat secretary in a remote fictional village in Uttar Pradesh in Panchayat Season 2.Gullak season 3, Mandaar, Suzhal, and Kudi Yedamaithe are the other top web series nominated for this category. One way to pick a winner in this category would be to choose the show whose next season you just can’t wait to watch.You can cast your votes at OTTplay.com/awards

Satyajit Ray’s most iconic sleuth Feluda or Pradosh Mitter found a new home on OTT and Tota Roy Chowdhury played the shawl-clad detective in Feludar Goyendagiri with much flourish. But does he have what it takes to get more votes than Jitendra Kumar’s relatable Abhishek Tripathi in Panchayat S2? The ball is in your court now. Mohit Raina for Mumbai Dairies, Debashish Mondal for Mandaar, Kaushik Ganguly for Tiktiki, and Tahir Raj Bhasin for Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein are the other nominees.

The claws are out and the leading ladies in the year’s most compelling shows aren’t going to give up without a fight. And we have two onscreen cops vying for ultimate honours this year. First, Raveena Tandon’s portrayal of a cop investigating a series of murders in Aranyak had us glued to our screens. Second, Amala Paul was equally compelling as CI Durga Goud, a cop stuck in a time loop, in the Telugu sci-fi series Kudi Yedamaithe. Veteran Bollywood star Madhuri Dixit’s performance in The Fame Game, Anchal Singh in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein, Kirti Kulhari in Criminal Justice season 2, and Sohini Sarkar in Mandaar are the other nominees. Which one managed the most arresting performance? You take a call. You can cast your votes at OTTplay.com/awards
