Many among them such as actors Saranya Ponvannan and Thambi Ramaiah, lyricist Vairamuthu and choreographer Dinesh were presented with Vijay awards for best supporting actor (female and male), best lyricist and best choreographer.
It was a moment to be cherished when veteran director K.Balachander was presented with Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan award for his contribution to the film industry. Mr.Balachander said “I am yet to receive the Dadasaheb Phalke award. It has only been announced. I regard this as an honour equal to that.”
Asked about actor Rajinikanth's health, he said: “He called me when he was discharged from hospital in Singapore. Rajini asked me to convey that he is well.”
The special award to veteran choreographer Sundaram for the category ‘Contribution to Tamil Cinema' turned out to be picture perfect moments as his three sons who are choreographers and others trained by Mr.Sundaram joined him.
Recalling that he was introduced to the field by Mr.Balachander, Mr.Sundaram said he has worked with many luminaries, including N.T.Rama Rao, M.G.Ramachandran and Jayalalithaa.

Mr. Rajinikanth was adjudged the best villain (for Enthiran). Actor Dhanush, who received the award, read out a letter from the actor, which said: “When K.Balachander sir introduced me, he saw me best suited for villain character. I would also like to act as Ravanan rather than Raman.”

Actor Suriya was presented the best entertainer award for ‘Singam' and the jury special award was given to director Seenu Ramasamy for ‘Thenmerku Paruvakatru'. ‘Myna' bagged the best crew of the year award.

Star Vijay TV alleged for infringing ‘Oscar’
Star Vijay TV alleged for infringing ‘Oscar’
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have approached the Delhi High court with the charge of infringement of their trademark in Oscar against Star Vijay TV. Allegedly, Star Vijay TV has awarded an ‘Oscar’s’ look alike trophy during their awards ceremony.
Justice G P Mittal of Delhi High Court has referred the matter for mediation and directed the parties to be present with the prototype of the trophy during the next hearing on July 13, 2011, if the parties fail to resolve the issue by then.
It is stated in the petition that “Vijay TV and Star TV are using the trophy for entertainment services, which is of the same nature as that of the petitioner”. It is further submitted that “impugned statuette is holding a shield at its chest, as opposed to the statuette of the plaintiff which is holding a sword at its chest. It is pertinent to note here that a sword and shield are complimentary to each other.” Further, the Academy has sought for stay on the award ceremony or make necessary changes before the award ceremony. However the court has declined to grant any interim relief to the Academy. Further Academy has prayed for the damages to the tune of Rs. 20 lakhs.
As the trophy was not produced in the court, hon’ble Judge has observed that, “It is going to have global ramification, you must produce the trophy to the court otherwise it would be difficult for me to issue any order.” The counsel for petitioner have opposed the contention of respondents to bring the trophy in court stating that “the statuette is of pure solid gold and it was not possible to bring it to India for legal battle.”

Vijay awards in trouble
The Delhi High Court Friday allowed Vijay Television Private Limited to carry on its Vijay Awards 2011 ceremony, but asked the photocopy of the trophy image be presented before it to see how closely it resembles the Oscar trophy.
Justice G.P. Mittal was hearing a petition filed by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), which organises awards functions, including the world renowned Oscar awards ceremony in Hollywood.
The AMPAS alleged that the trophy presented at the Vijay awards for the Tamil film indistry organised by Vijay TV and Star India is substantially and deceptively similar to the Oscar trophy.
"The impugned statuette of Vijay TV violates the plaintiff's intellectual property right in the Oscar statuette," said the AMPAS.
The AMPAS submitted that it requested changes in the Vijay TV award trophy. The channel made two changes but declined a third change.
The court said: "It is going to have international ramification. The statuette must be produced before the court. I cannot pass the order without even seeing the statuette of both the parties."
However, the court did not ask Vijay TV not to hold the award ceremony. It has directed all the parties to appear before the mediation centre of the Delhi High Court July 4.
"Make settlement before the mediation centre about the changes to made in any of the trophies," said the court, adding that if that is not settled, then the matter will be heard July 13.
"On July 13, both the parties must produce the photocopy of the statuette that is being given during the award ceremony," said Justice Mittal.
The Vijay TV trophy shows a man holding a shield to the chest while the Oscar trophy has a sword held to the chest.
The AMPAS also submitted before the court that Vijay TV's sister concern, Star Movies, has the broadcast licence of the Oscar programme thereby increasing the possible confusion in the minds of the viewers.
The AMPAS has sought a damage of Rs.20 lakh be passed against Vijay TV and Star India.
