The most prestigious award of Bollywood, the 54th Filmfare Awards took place at the Yash Raj Studios, Mumbai on February 28.
Filmfare Awards is the oldest award ceremony and is same like the Oscars of Hollywood. The event was hosted by actors Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan. Both the actors rocked the show with their humor. One more thing new to Filmfare Awards this time was most of the ladies were wearing gown rather than the traditional saree.

The 54 Idea Filmfare Awards 2009 drew to a close with 'Jodhaa Akbar' winning 5 Filmfare Awards, including Best Actor, Best Director, Best Lyrics, Best Background Score and Best Movie. Priyanka Chopra won the Best Actress Filmfare Award for film 'Fashion,' while Hrithik Roshan was adjudged the Best Actor for his role in 'Jodha Akbar.'

Jodha Akbar bagged five awards including best film, best director (Ashutosh Gowariker) and best lyrics (Javed Akhtar). Fresh from his Oscar-win last week, AR Rahman got the best music director award for Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and best background score for Jodha Akbar.

Critics award for the best film was given to Mumbai Meri Jaan. Asin Thottumkal was adjudged best female debutante for Ghajini and the best male debutante award was shared by Farhan Aktar (Rock On) and Imran Khan (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na).
