 Over recent weeks, NRI-Bollywood lovers have cast their ballots for their favorites in various categories from movies released last year.
The performers who have received the top five rankings have now been declared for the Bollywood Awards 2005 to be held on Saturday, April 30th 2005 at the Mark. G. Etess Arena, Trump Taj Mahal Casino, Atlantic City, New Jersey, where the winners will be declared.
Special "Lifetime Achievement" Awards for distinguished contributions to the movie industry will be given to Vyjantimala and Shammi Kapoor at the glittering Awards nite.

This year, record breaking voting by movie-lovers from all over the world was truly historical.

"The excitement of the Awards is palpable as we announce the nominees for this year's ceremony. The Bollywood Awards are the true pioneers and leaders of South Asian Awards ceremonies globally - the first Overseas Bollywood Awards, the first Bollywood Music Awards and the first Bollywood Fashion Awards anywhere in the world. Others award  ceremonies have followed our path. I am pleased that we have contributed majorly in promoting the Indian entertainment in America as endorsed by the presence and participation of top Hollywood stars such as Sharon Stone, Richard Gere, Michael Jackson, Steven Seagal, Jeane Claude Van Damme, Tyra Banks and world leaders like Senator Hillary Clinton, the late Senator Patrick Moynihan etc. to name a few at the Awards. Worldwide media coverage of our events (e.g. New York Times, Newsday, Forbes, Time, CNN, ABC, Fox) and many more speaks volumes of our International achievements. We are now growing by leaps and bounds with several media related projects slated in 2005," said Mr. Kamal Dandona, Chairman of the Bollywood Awards Inc.
