At this event, ace music director Rahman was honored with the Best Music Composer award, for his work in the film Guru. Rahman was, however, not present at the ceremony to receive the award as he was preparing for a concert that was to be held the day next.


Popular playback singer, Alisha Chinoy, was presented with the Best Female Singer of the Year Award for her song ‘It’s Rocking’ for the film Kya Love Story Hai, which, incidentally, also won the Best Song of the Year Award. She enthralled the Indian audience, gathered at the venue in huge numbers, with this song. Popular fashion designer, Suneet Varma won the Best Designer of the Year Award. Other singers awarded at the function were Jassi, Best Bhangra artist for B-Romeo; DJ Sanj, Best remix album for Block Party. The Best Pop Artist Award went to Jay Sean for ‘Ride It’ and Best Video to Bilz for ‘Two-Step Bhangra.’
In all, it was a scintillating evening with performances by singers Kumar Sanu, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Sukhbir, Carribean superstars Rooplall Girdharie, Geeta Bisram and the Angels Caribbean Band.
