India is known for its art and culture, and cinema has been a paramount part of our lives. Be it the Hindi film industry or any other regional film industry, the essence of cinema is in India. Our talented artists, directors, and singers try their best to entertain people by showcasing their best work possible.

When any Indian film performs well in other countries or wins any international award, all Indians get filled with pride. One such award is the Oscar; it is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the entertainment industry across the globe.

Oscars are also known as Academy Awards and are given every year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a symbol of excellence in cinematic production. The winner is awarded a golden statuette trophy, which is generally called the Oscar and officially referred to as the “Academy Award of Merit”. This trophy was made by George Stanley from Cedric Gibbons’ sketch design.

95th Academy Awards

The first ceremony took place in the year 1929, and it has come a long way since then. But did you know that there are very few Indians or Indian films that have won this prestigious title? Now that history has changed, Indian artists and Indians are getting recognition from all around the world.

The 95th Academy Awards will be held on March 12, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The awards were presented to honour the movies released in 2022, and this year India won two Academy Awards, one in the category of best original song and another in the category of best documentary short film.

S. S. Rajamouli, who directed RRR, has created history by winning the first Academy Award for India in the category of Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu. The movie RRR features N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, and Shriya Saran.

In the category of Best Documentary Short Film, The Elephant Whisperers of Kartiki Gonsalves and Guneet Monga won the prestigious Academy Award for India.

Oscar Award Winners & Nominations In India

Numerous Indian films and artists have received or have been nominated for the glorious Oscar Awards to date. By now, a total of 13 Indians have been nominated so far out of which 8 have bagged the golden trophy!

The way this film managed to share a detailed glimpse of the slums of India and its residents was beyond perfection. A slum dweller who becomes a crorepati on the famous show “Kaun Banega Crorepati”, is a dream come true for him.

Other than that, Ritu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh’s “Writing with Fire” was also nominated in the category of Best Documentary Feature.

Academy Awards History

At the point when the foundation was established in 1927, the awards committee was just one of a few that had been shaped by the new association. Introducing awards was thought about but not quickly executed.

It was not until May 1928 that the foundation endorsed the board’s ideas to introduce Academy Awards of Merit in 12 classifications—most extraordinary production, most imaginative or one of a kind production, and accomplishment by an actor, by an actress, in dramatic direction, comic direction, cinematography, art direction, in designing effects, in unique story composing, in variation composing, and in title composing.

The main awards covered movies that had been delivered between August 1, 1927, and July 31, 1928. The awards were introduced on May 16, 1929, at a function at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The whole enrollment of the foundation had named competitors in all classifications. Five sheets of judges then, at, not really settled the 10 competitors with the most votes in every classification and limited those 10 down to 3 suggestions.

On April 3, 1930, the number of classifications was diminished to seven, and the two significant film grants were fallen into one, called the best picture. The foundation has since kept on making incessant modifications in rules, techniques, and classifications.

Among the main changes have been the choice in 1933 to modify the qualification time frame for the award in the same year and the expansion of the supporting actor and actress classifications in 1936.

Initially, the names of the award winners had been given to the press ahead of time with the specification that it should not be uncovered until after the award show. The Los Angeles Times printed the names of the 1939 winners in an early evening release before the show, removing all the excitement.

Hence, from that point forward, the winners’ names have been a carefully hidden mystery until the declaration at the award ceremony.

The Academy Awards were first broadcast in the United States in 1953, and beginning around 1969 they have been communicated globally. By the late twentieth century, the ceremony had turned into a significant occurrence, seen by millions.

Hosts since its inception included Bob Hope, Johnny Carson, and Billy Crystal. The Academy Awards saw a few changes, which incorporated a restriction of three hours, starting in 2019, and prior air date, starting in 2020.
