Nandi Awards: Here's the complete list of winners for 2012 and 2013

The Andhra Pradesh Government announced the Nandi Awards for the year 2012 and 2013 on Wednesday. These awards are given in several categories to appreciate the best of talents in Telugu cinema, Telugu theatre and Telugu Television.

The winners get the Nandi memorabilia (a granite bull) along with certificates and cash prize. The first Nandi award was given in 1964.

These awards were delayed due to the division of old Andhra Pradesh into two states. While the Andhra Pradesh government has decided to continue with the Nandi Awards, the newly formed Telangana is likely to come up with separate awards.
