Hi, Sorry.. forgot to mention it.. ARR won it for Sivaji. Also, Thotta Tharani won the award for best art direction for "Vaaji Vaaji", Shankar won the award for best conceptualisation of a song for "Oru Koodai Sunlight".
Benny Dayal won the "rising star singer" award for Madhuraikku Pogadhedi... And, I forgot to mention - Harris Jayaraj while speaking about ARR said that he hadnt met ARR after HJ became a composer...The last time he had met ARR was during the inauguration of HJ's studio.... Almost 7 years later, he got a chance to meet ARR, and he said he was honoured to meet him and was happy to receive the award in ARR's presence. (HJ won two awards, apparently - best youthful album of the year (Unnale Unnale) and best youthful song (June Ponaal) @ Vithur: No, i couldnt meet ARR yesterday at the event...

Hence he realised that there's a communication gap - a gap about what the audience want and what is given to them as film music. Since there are so many constraints while making film music, it's not possible to give what exactly the audience are looking for. To fill this gap, through KM Music Label, he is going to come up with albums which will satisfy the audience in terms of melody. > > Earlier, ARR presented the best female singer award to Chithra. > > > ** The tamil weekly ARR was talking about, is "Kumudam".

After all the hype and after inviting all the big names, it was a big let down.
