LUX Style Awards 2012: Music Nominations

Posted: 16 May 2012 11:48 AM PDT

Nominations for the 11th LUX Style Awards were announced in Karachi this week. The Awards office of Pakistan's most credible and coveted Awards released nominations in 26 categories in the genres of Film, Music, Television and Fashion.

The LSA Film Jury voted for Bol across all three categories. Shoaib Mansoor's Bol was the sole film that made the grade and qualified as a bonafide entrant for an Award that is given out for excellence in cinema.
