Star Appeasement at its best

Recently heard that Shahrukh Khan won the Best Actor award for his role in "Chak De India" at "Nokia Star Screen Awards". That is not a news as Shahrukh Khan has won several awards in his long illustrious career. What surprised me was that Aamir Khan was adjudged "Best Supporting Actor" for his performance in Taare Zameen Par. I do not know about others but I felt that it was pretty ridiculous. Was Aamir really a supporting actor in the movie? In that case, even SRK was a supporting actor in Chak De India since the movie was about the girls in the hockey team.
Taare Zameen Par (TZP) did revolve around the kid but that does not make Aamir a supporting actor. The kid was a victim and Aamir was the hero who saved the kid.
If the logic is that Chak De India was a movie about SRK's character; how he suffered and then used the Women's hockey team to find glory then going by that logic, Sanjeev Kumar was the real hero of Sholay. The movie revolved around Sanjeev Kumar's character and how he used two "supporting actors" to take revenge. The organisers can go to any extent for star appeasement!!! Funny!!!
