He was voted by viewers and public through sms, phone and other means of voting. I mean this is an award by people. Not a jury.
Since Superstar was in Kuselan shoot, the award was presented to him at the shooting spot by the awards committee. It is again proved that Superstar don't need to go for awards. They will come towards him.
During the function which was held at Nehru Indoor Stadium, Superstar's speech was telescasted in a big screen amidst huge whistles and thunderous applause. I got a video of the same through a friend. But that is not clear as it was shot in a mibile. If any of you have that Youtube video in good quality kindly give me the url so as i would post in the blog. Thalaivar spoke for a few minutes in that video and his speech is asusual nice.
தலைவா, விருதுகளை தேடி நீ போக வேண்டாம்
அவை உன்னை தேடி வரும், நீ இருக்கும் இடத்தை நாடி!
