Here is the list of candidates voted to be most worthy of receiving the Filmfare awards for important 19 categories by fans. It should, however, be noted that this is not the final result of the Filmfare Award 2008.  

1. Best Film
   In the best film category, there are films like Chak De India, Om Shanti Om, Taare Zameen Par and Guru, all of which are equally competent.  It is, however, widely expected for Chak De India to win the show because it's a film themed on an inspirational story.

   As per public voting, the best director could either be Shimit Amin, Mani Ratnam or Aamir Khan for films Chak De India, Guru and Taare Zameen Par respectively.  

3. Best Actor
   The best actor of the year has to be Shahrukh Khan, who worked in two hit films this year - Om Shanti Om and Chak De India.
