Like every year, this competition was fierce when it came to choosing the winners for the Filmfare OTT Awards 2023. The Best Actor, Series (Male): Drama went to Suvinder Vicky (Kohrra). His nominees in the category were Anil Kapoor for The Night Manager, Shahid Kapoor for Farzi, Jim Sarbh for Rocket Boys Season 2, to name a few. No wonder he got emotional during his speech. Scoop, which won the Best Series, had to contend with Jubilee, Kohrra, Trial By Fire and other worthies. OTT films and series have become the playground of Bollywood biggies willing to try their hand at something different. Hence, one saw Alia Bhatt take home the trophy in the Best Actor, Web Original Film (Female) category for Darlings, and Sonakshi Sinha kept her company, winning the Black Lady in the Best Actor, Series (Female), Critics': Drama for her bravura performance in the series, Dahaad. Veteran Sharmila Tagore too won The Best Actor, Critics' (Female): Film. Sharmila Tagore (Gulmohar), in the company of Sanya Malhotra (Kathal). Here's looking at all the winners who graced the night.

HANSAL MEHTA WITH SARITA PATIL AND DIKSSHA JYOTE ROUTRAY
Scoop was based on the infamous Jigna Vora case.
The former journalist was falsely implicated as having a hand in the murder of crime journalist J Dey and was sent behind bars.
She kept fighting the system and finally got herself cleared of all the charges.
The series offered a fictional account of the proceedings and gave us a 360 view of it without distorting facts. It was as hard-hitting as a documentary and made for compelling viewing.
