A curtain raiser ceremony was held in Mumbai on 2 February 2020, which honoured the winners of technical and short film awards. In the same function, the nominations for popular awards were also announced. Actress Neha Dhupia was the host of this ceremony.

Gully Boy led the ceremony with 19 nominations, followed by Uri: The Surgical Strike with 13 nominations, and Article 15 and Sonchiriya with 11 nominations each.

Gully Boy won a record 13 awards, the most awards for a single film in a year, thus breaking the record set by Black (2005) with 11 wins at the 51st Filmfare Awards. Additionally, it also became the second film to win all four acting awards, having been achieved previously 21 years earlier by Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) at the 44th Filmfare Awards.

At age 92, Kamini Kaushal set a record for becoming the oldest nominee of an acting Filmfare Award, receiving a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her performance in Kabir Singh . However, she lost the award to Amruta Subhash who won the award for Gully Boy.

The ceremony proved to be highly controversial, as fans called out Filmfare for snubbing highly acclaimed films like Chhichhore , Kesari and Uri: The Surgical Strike in favor of Gully Boy. Subsequently, when the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist went to the rap song "Apna Time Aayega" from Gully Boy instead of the patriotic song "Teri Mitti" from Kesari, lyricist Manoj Muntashir expressed his disappointment at the decision on Twitter, pledging not to attend future award ceremonies, and gained support from fans and other musicians alike.
