Indian network Radio City’s web platform Radiocity.in is back with the 8th season of its annual Slappies award to recognise and felicitate the worst of Bollywood last year.
The tagline for this year’s awards is ‘Swachh Bollywood Abhiyan’ (Clean Bollywood Campaign).
Slappies 8 will have two phases – the voting phase, followed by a grand finale award announcement.
Listeners can vote for the most deserving ‘slaps’ of the year
Listeners can vote for the most deserving ‘slaps’ of the year till February 4 from Top 8 shortlist entries across 11 categories.
This year, the categories for Slappies 8 are – Worst Film, Worst Actor, Worst Actress, Worst Song, Worst Debut, Worst Director, Worst Dialogue, Worst Supporting Actor, Worst Jodi, and Lifetime Achievement for Worst Song.
Owing to the trend of remaking old songs, an 11th category called the ‘Worst Song Remake’ has also been added to this season as a fresh category.
The grand finale of Slappies 8, will be held on February 8, on RadioCity.in.
Commenting on the initiative, Rachna Kanwar, Chief Operating Officer – Digital Media, Jagran Prakashan Ltd, said: “Over the past seven years now, we’ve been able to build Slappies into a delightful, differentiated audience engagement property. And not just audiences, who have given us a tremendous response, we have also got a whole lot of awards for it.”
