The second annual Zee Gold Bollywood Awards are scheduled to be announced at a star-studded, live entertainment show at the Nassau Coliseum in New York on May 27. The awards were instituted last year to recognize and honor Bollywood filmmakers and performers, ascertaining their popularity through a fan ballot, Kamal Dandona, chairman of Bollywood Awards, told India in New York . Films and performers are to be be judged by an awards committee in categories that include Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film, Best Director, Best Costume Designer, Best Choreography, Best Song and Best Screenplay.
Voting is to be done by the fans on the Web and through mail to select favorites.
Pop icon Michael Jackson was the chief guest at last year's show.
