The MyGlamm Filmfare OTT Awards this year were held amidst the fear of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus. We expected the industry to chicken out but its denizens came in droves to support and applaud their peers. OTT has become a playing field for performers to showcase their versatility. While established names like Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Amruta Subhash and Geetanjali Kulkarni are breaking new ground, it's also springing up stars like Pratik Gandhi and Kani Kusruti. Directors like Hansal Mehta, Sudhir Mishra and Raj and DK also made waves in 2020. It was a year of risque and risky content, where stories and storytellers pushed boundaries. Reality seamlessly merged with fiction to present us with gripping plots, buoyed by some superlative acting. Here's taking a look at all the winners...
