The 2011 IIFA Awards, officially the 12th International Indian Film Academy Awards ceremony, presented by the International Indian Film Academy honoured the best films of 2010 and took place between 23 and 25 June 2011. The official ceremony took place on 25 June 2011, at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. During the ceremony, IIFA Awards were awarded in 24 competitive categories. The ceremony was televised in India and internationally on Star Plus. Actors Boman Irani and Ritesh Deshmukh co-hosted the ceremony for the fourth time.

In related events, the IIFA Music and Fashion Extravaganza took place on 24 June 2011 at the Ricoh Coliseum. The event was hosted by Karan Johar (Best Director winner) and Anushka Sharma (Best Actress winner). During the event, all technical awards and one musical award were presented to the winners.

Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai led the ceremony with 12 nominations, followed by Dabangg with 11 nominations, Ishqiya and Raajneeti with 9 nominations each, Band Baaja Baaraat with 8 nominations, and My Name Is Khan with 7 nominations.

Dabangg won 10 awards, including Best Film, Best Female Debut (for Sonakshi Sinha) and Best Villain (for Sonu Sood), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.

Band Baaja Baaraat and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai were the runners-up of the ceremony with 5 awards each. Other multiple winners include I Hate Luv Storys, Robot and Udaan with 3 awards each. In addition, Guzaarish, Housefull and Love Sex aur Dhokha, each received 1 award.

Background

[edit]

This was the first time the IIFA Awards were held in Canada and North America. Toronto's large South Asian population likely influenced the choice as a host city (Ontario is the province with the most Indo-Canadians at 573,250[1] with 484,655 in the Greater Toronto Area). The award ceremonies are held in various places around the world and has not necessarily been held in locale with a large South Asian population.

The awards ceremony was telecasted on 24 July 2011 on Star Plus.[2]

Controversies

Shahrukh Khan and stage crasher

[edit]

While co-hosting the Music Awards, a man jumped on stage and clamped himself to Shahrukh Khan's injured leg. He was later removed from the stage, when Shahrukh said "You're hurting my leg. Please move!". But, Shahrukh did agree to meet after the show upon the request of the man.
