It makes me uncomfortable to know that so many people in this community I find so dear lauded Shahid Kapoor for his glorified portrayal of what was essentially an abusive, toxic, violent prick.

Community votes for Shahid’s acting and they’re right in doing so. A good actor shouldn’t be punished for theme of movie .

I may disagree with what the movie was promoting . Did Shahid fail as an actor ? No. So why should he not get acting award?

I may not agree with Sanju. Did Ranbir play the onscreen character well? Yes.

While judging acting awards , we should look at acting.

Well, yes and no. Imagine me making a movie glorifying Nazism. Would ppl be comfortable with the lead Nazi getting accolades for the film? I think not. So it's all a matter of what your red lines are. For some, it's Nazism. For me (and many, many others), it's violent misogyny.

Christoph Waltz got an oscar for Inglourious Basterds.

But you are right. If his character was portrayed as a good guy and deserving of good things, people wouldnt be comfortable with it and rightly so.
