Here’s the complete list of the winners at the Academy Awards this year.
The 95th Academy Awards turned out to be a thrilling day for India as RRR’s chartbuster song ‘Naatu Naatu’ and Guneet Monga’s The Elephant Whisperer bagged an Oscar for ‘Best Original Song’ and ‘Best Documentary Short Film’.
Expressing his happiness over RRR’s Oscar win, the film’s actor Jr NTR said in a statement, “I cannot find the words to express my elation right now. This is not just a win for RRR but for India as a country. I believe this is just the beginning. Showing us how far Indian cinema can go. Congratulations to Keeravaani garu and Chandrabose garu. Of course, none of this would have been possible without a master storyteller called Rajamouli and the audiences who showered us with all the love. I would also like to congratulate the team of The Elephant Whisperers on their win today bringing another Oscar to India.”
Guneet Monga too reacted to The Elephant Whisperer bring home an Oscar and said, “This is an incredibly powerful and historical moment. We as two women from India, stood on that global stage making this historical win. I’m so proud of this film, this moment and proud of my amazing team at Sikhya Entertainment, that an independent production house from India has made the history to be the first ever Indian film by an Indian production to win an Oscar. My heart is racing with all the joy, love, excitement in the moment. I’m so grateful to Kartiki, the wonderful visionary that she is. Netflix gave us the biggest stage in the world and supported us n believed in us all the way. Today I can say, the future for Indian cinema is audacious, the future is here and not to forget the future is truly female!”
