Kudos to the Sri Lankan Tourism Promotion Bureau and Wizcraft who together put on a magnificent show at the Sugathadasa indoor stadium, in- spite of the controversy surrounding Colombo as the venue for Bollywood's biggest award ceremony, the pathetic boycotting threats and the fear of certain stars to attend.

IIFA stormed into its second decade of celebrations with a spectacular Awards night, with 3 IDIOTS winning a majority of the top awards, including the Best Film and Best Director Award.

The legend of Indian cinema, Amitabh Bachchan won the Award for Best Actor for his much acclaimed role in PAA, while the Best Actress Award was a tie between Kareena Kapoor (3 IDIOTS) and Vidya Balan (PAA). Sharman Joshi won the Award for Performance in a Supporting role - Male for his role in 3 IDIOTS, while Divya Dutta won the Award for Performance in a Supporting role - Female for DELHI 6. Recognizing her Outstanding Achievement in Indian Cinema, Zeenat Aman was presented with the honour by Shatrugan Sinha, while Hrithik Roshan honoured his grandfather, J Om Prakash for his Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema.

Govinda presented Sanjay Dutt the Award for Performance in a Comic role for ALL THE BEST, while Prem Chopra presented Boman Irani with the Award for Performance in a Negative role for 3 IDIOTS. The Green Globe Crusader of the Year presented an Award to Vivek Oberoi for his contribution towards the environment, while Anil Kapoor was presented with the Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Indian in International Cinema. Jacqueline Fernandez and Mahie Gill were presented with the Star TV debut of the year (Female) Award, while Jackie Bhagnani and Omi Vaidya won the Star TV debut of the year (Male) Award.
