RRR actress Alia Bhatt was obviously watching the Oscars – here’s what she posted about Naatu Naatu‘s win
For the first time in 95 years of the Oscars, the Academy Award for Best Actress was won by an Asian – it seems incredible that the incomparable Michelle Yeoh has never won an Oscar before this, but history was waiting a long time to be made and we can’t think of anyone who deserves it more
Michelle shared this post after her win
“Everything has led to this” – Ke Huy Quan, we’d like to do laundry and taxes with you in this life and every other one
Jr NTR released this statement after India’s historic wins: “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.”
Chiranjeevi also congratulated the team of The Elephant Whisperers, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short
#TheElephantWhisperers wins the Oscar for Best Short Documentary 👏👏👏
Heartiest Congrats to the Entire Team #KartikiGonsalves@guneetm@sikhyaent 👏👏👏👏👏👏
What An Year for India at the Oscars!!!!! More Power to Indian Cinema!!

Brendan Fraser’s best actor Oscar win on Sunday for his powerful performance as a morbidly obese man in “The Whale” caps a remarkable career comeback for the charismatic leading man.
The former star of 1990s hits such as “The Mummy” endured a decade in the Hollywood wilderness before winning over Academy voters with his portrayal of a reclusive teacher who eats compulsively as he is tormented by grief.
“So this is what the multiverse looks like,” an emotional Fraser told the audience at the Dolby Theatre.
“I started in this business 30 years ago, and things — they didn’t come easily to me, but there was a facility that I didn’t appreciate at the time until it stopped,” he said, referring to his long absence from the big screen.
“Thank you for this acknowledgment.”
Indian documentary film Elephant Whisperers won the Oscar in the Best Documentary Short Film category. Producer Guneet Monga along with director Kartiki Gonsalves took centre stage to accept the honour.
Michelle Yeoh on Sunday made history by becoming the first Asian woman to win the best actress Oscar, for her exuberant portrayal of an immigrant business owner thrust into a zany multiverse in the sci-fi trip “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
The Hollywood veteran won over Academy voters with her complex take on Evelyn Wang, a Chinese American laundromat owner who is mired in a tax audit, stuck in a crumbling marriage and struggling to connect with her daughter Joy.
Oh, and she ends up traversing multiple universes to evade a powerful supernatural enemy, who happens to be an iteration of… her daughter.
