Cinema Paradiso Club (CPC) cine awards 2016: Vinayakan, Rajisha Vijayan, Sai Pallavi, Dileesh Pothan in winners' list

Be it any award show, movie-goers often criticise the jury members after the announcement of winners' list of the best performers of the year. 

When it comes to Malayalam entertainment industry, apart from the prestigious Kerala State Film Awards, Mollywood celebs are also honoured with a few other awards, including Asianet Film Awards, Vanitha Cera Film Awards, South Indian International Movie Awards (SIIMA), Flowers Indian Film Awards, North American Film Awards, among many others. Though most of them are said to be based on audience polls, very often they get tagged as shows conducted just to honour superstars who have star value in the industry.
