It hasn't even been a month to the New Year, and Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor has already swept three awards for his performances in 2009.

While he was named the most popular male actor at the STAR Screen awards, Shahid also won the heartthrob of the nation award at the fifth Apsara Film and Television Producers Guild Awards.

The 28-year-old also walked away with the Editor's choice Best Actor award at the Stardust awards for his portrayal of Guddu and Charlie - the ruffian with the endearing lisp and the simpleton who stammers respectively - in Vishal Bharadwaj's Kaminey.

Shah Rukh Khan knows what to say when he gets awards. At a time when the industry is going gaga over Aamir’s 3 idiots the King Khan went up the stage to accept the best actor’s award for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi at the Apsara Awards.

A pleasantly surprised SRK admitted that he has thought he was done with the film and he would not be in any awards show this year because he had no noteworthy films in 2009. “I thought I was over and done with Rab Ne as I didn’t know that the yearly circle for Apsara Awards was November to November.

Shahid Kapoor won the Chevrolet Heartbeat of the Nation award for his intense portrayal in Kaminey and Deepika Padukone also won the same award for her performance in Love Aaj Kal.

Shahid Kapoor has definitely had a great 2009! After winning critical acclaim as well as applause from the audience as Guddu and Charlie in KAMINEY, he has gone on to win the Screen award for the most popular male actor of 2009.

Shahid was also seen hosting and performing at the award ceremony which was held on Saturday, 9th January 2009. In fact, he made an impressive and confident debut as and performed to the foot tapping 'Dhan Te Nan' from KAMINEY. From ISHQ VISHQ to KAMINEY, Shahid has definitely come a long way and grown & matured as an actor is clearly visible in the actors portrayal of the ambitious Guddu and the menacing Charlie.

It's Priyanka vs Shahid again. Their fans are battling on Twitter over the NDTV's Twitter Indian of the Year 2009 Award.

Both Priyanka and Shahid are up for the award.

Priyanka, who is very active on Twitter, has lost no time in asking her almost hundred thousand followers to retweet, vote and ensure she wins. She tweeted yesterday : "I'm so excited about that.. Feels so great when awards happen.. It's a sense of encouragement!" (http://twitter.com/priyankachopra)

The award season has set in. And looks like our Kaminey boy has taken upon himself to bag how much ever awards he can.
