10th IIFA Awards
Year 2009
Host city Macau Macau, MSAR
Venue The Venetian Macao[1]
Opening night 11 June
Closing night 13 June
Number of awards 40
Best Film Jodhaa Akbar

The 2009 IIFA Awards, officially the 10th International Indian Film Academy Awards and informally known as the Decadial IIFA Awards, were a major film awards ceremony honoring Bollywood films held in Macau from 11 to 13 June 2009.

The choosing of Macau as the host city was considered to be a wise move, which would reduce tensions between India and China,[2] as well as to end the "deadlock" between the two countries over the issue of exchange of cinema.

The 2009 Awards was a special time, as IIFA has completed 10 years of giving Awards to prestigious actors and actresses. Five special IIFA Awards were awarded this year, and these awards have collectively been called as the IIFA Golden Decade Honors[3] or the Artists of the Decade Awards.

The Awards ceremony was hosted by the comic trio of Boman Irani, Ritesh Deshmukh and Lara Dutta.

[edit] Choice of host city and venue

Usually, the decision of a host city for the forthcoming IIFA Award ceremony takes place in the first press conference in the host city itself. This rule was broken this time, as the host city and venue for the 2009 edition of the awards was announced in Mumbai.

Brand Ambassador of IIFA, Amitabh Bachchan, announced Macao to be host city, in an event in the JW Marriott Hotel. The venue was declared to be The Venetian Macao, one of the largest resorts in the World. Reportedly, Toronto and Istanbul were also bidding for the awards.

[edit] Winners of IDEA IIFA Awards 2009

9 films won the 40 awards at the IIFA Awards ceremony. The major winner at the ceremony turned out to be the epic romantic saga Jodhaa Akbar, which won 10 IIFA Awards.
