Lux Style Awards 2015 nominees announced

The award ceremony will take place at the end of the year

The Lux Style Awards are back! A list of nominees in 24 categories covering fashion, film, music and television has been released for the event which will take place at the end of this year.

Traditionally the Lux Style Awards (LSA) acknowledges the terrestrial and satellite categories and gives out separate Awards for Best TV Serial, Best Actor and Best Actress. This time however, the LSA TV jury has declined to announce nominees as it feels there's no fresh content.

On the other hand, the fashion jury has revived the bridal category and will focus on bridal finery, a category that’s come into its own after the advent of bridal fashion weeks.

Four sets of jury are appointed for each of the four categories of fashion, film, music and television. Majority categories in TV and music are decided by viewer’s choice votes while a second tier of jury votes for winners in the ten fashion categories.

All categories have five nominees each; except where there is a tie for the fifth place as is the case in Best Female Model and Best TV Director. Some categories have three nominees as per the jury’s decision.

Following are the nominations for the LSA 2015:
