The 56th Filmfare Awards were held on 29 January 2011 at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai, honouring the best in film for the year 2010. The nominations were announced on 13 January. The date of the function was unusual because generally the awards are hosted on the last Saturday of February. The date of the telecast is 6 February 2011.
My Name Is Khan led the ceremony with 10 nominations, followed by Dabangg and Udaan with 9 nominations each.
Udaan won 7 awards, including Best Film (Critics) (for Vikramaditya Motwane) and Best Supporting Actor (for Ronit Roy), thus becoming the most-awarded film at the ceremony.
Both Shah Rukh Khan (with his eighth Best Actor win) and Kajol (with her fifth Best Actress win), matched the records previously set by Dilip Kumar and Nutan (also, Kajol's aunt) in their respective categories. They both won the award for Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan, who also won Best Director.
Sisters Ratna Pathak Shah and Supriya Pathak were nominated for Best Supporting Actress for their performances in Golmaal 3 and Khichdi: The Movie respectively, but both lost to Kareena Kapoor who won the award for We Are Family.
