The 8th West Bengal Film Journalists' Association Awards (WBFJA) also known as Cinemar Somabarton () is an annual award ceremony which honoured the best Bengali-language films of 2024.
Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole led the ceremony with 14 nominations, followed by Khadaan with 13 and Ajogyo with 12 nominations.
Dev received dual nominations under Best Actor and Most Popular Actor categories, for two different films â Tekka and Khadaan, winning for the latter.
The nominations for the ceremony were announced on 3 January 2025 at a Press conference held at Rotary Sadan, Kolkata and subsequently live streamed via Facebook from the official page of the organization. Actors Tota Roy Chowdhury and Rituparna Sengupta were present at the conference. The ceremony was to take place at the Ajanta Circus in order to commemorate the 100th Birth Anniversary of noted Indian actor Raj Kapoor. However, owing to security concerns, the venue was later changed to Priya Cinema.
The nominations were announced on 3 January 2025.
Windows Production, owned by Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy, requested the organisation to revoke the nominations for their film Bohurupi (2024), conveying their wish to abstain from attending the ceremony or accepting any awards.
