Actor-turned-producer
John
Abraham,
who
has
been
in
the
industry
for
a
decade
now,
says
Bollywood
award
shows
have
been
reduced
to
prime-time
television
shows
and
believes
they
can
never
reach
the
level
of
a
fair
award.
"All
our
award
shows
are
television
shows.
Actors
have
to
dance
on
those
shows
for
television
rating
points.
So
it
is
a
channel
thing," the
40-year-old
said
here
Wednesday
at
a
promotional
event
for
his
film
I,
Me
aur
Main.
Asked
why
is
Bollywood
not
able
to
reach
the
level
of
the
recently-held
Oscars
in
Hollywood,
he
said,
"We
don't
have
any
single
award
which
is
a
serious
award,
so
I
don't
think
we
will
ever
reach
that
level
of
a
fair
award.
The
actor
who
will
dance
will
get
the
award
and
I
think
that's
the
way
it
has
been
happening."
However,
John
feels
this
year
he
has
observed
a
change
and
good
films
have
bagged
awards.
"Last
year
all
awards
have
been
pretty
fair,
to
be
very
honest,
as
new
and
different
films
like
Paan
Singh
Tomar,
Vicky
Donor,
OMG:
Oh
My
God!,
English
Vinglish,
Kahaani
-
they
have
all
bagged
a
lot
of
awards.
I
believe
we
still
need
to
make
a
legitimate
award.
I
don't
think
we
have
reached
that
level
of
maturity,"
John
said.
