Post-1980s, Banerjee's acting accolades remained sparse, with no major national or international acting awards for feature films in subsequent decades, despite prolific output in over 100 projects. This relative scarcity may reflect Indian cinema's structural preference for honoring commercially dominant stars over those excelling in character-driven or independent roles, as evidenced by the National Film Awards' historical tilt toward mass-appeal narratives rather than sustained artistic consistency. Later nods, such as global jury awards for his supporting role as Father O'Hara in Josef: Born in Grace (), highlight occasional validation but limited mainstream resurgence. ![Victor Banerjee at the Closing Ceremony of the North East Films, during the 44th International Film Festival of India (IFFI-2013)][center]
