The 95th Academy Awards will be held on March 12 (March 13 IST) at Los Angeles’ Dolly Theatre. It’s a special year for India at the Oscars. This time around, not just one, but three significant Indian movies are competing for the coveted Oscars Awards 2023 nominations.

Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes has been nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film and Guneet Monga’s The Elephant Whisperers for Best Documentary Short.

RRR has scored a nomination in the Best Original Song category for ‘Naatu Naatu’, which won the Golden Globe Award in the same category earlier this year. SS Rajamouli, MM Keeravani, Ram Charan will be attending the award ceremony. Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava will be performing the Oscar nominated song at the ceremony.

RRR had a massive campaign for the Oscars but ended up scoring just one spot. The film was snubbed by the FFI as India’s contender at the Oscars, instead Pan Nalin’s Chhello Show was sent on India’s behalf. However, the film did not make it to the final five nominations.
