This year, apart from being the World’s Biggest Viewers Choice Awards, what set Zee Cine Awards apart was its partnership with Ernst & Young as the official voting tabulator for Zee Cine Awards 2013. This was done to put to rest all speculations about film awards being rigged. Another innovation that Zee introduced this year was the ‘Free Call’ voting system where the viewers could vote for their favorite actors free of cost. Abhishek Bachchan was roped in to debut as an anchor. His straight face humor kept the audiences in splits along with co-host Reitesh Deshmukh.
