Unlike Jitesh Pillai (current editor of Filmfare), Khalid was a true blue fan of Sridevi. Had he been head of Filmfare, perhaps she would have received a slew of mindless trophies too like '24 years of Sridevi' or Entertainer of the Decade or Face of the Year or any of the sponsored awards that are insidious in the Hindi film industry.
Thankfully, from what we know about Sridevi awards didn't matter, rewards did as she has stated in the past that Sridevi preferred if a film was a hit rather than won awards, liked by the few, at the expense of the many.
Of course till date, I think Sridevi deserved an award for English Vinglish, Mom, Sadma, Mr.India, Khuda Gawah - and perhaps the Best Villain award for Laadla (with a different ending!). But... woulda coulda shoulda...
