The Oscars, also known as the Academy Awards, is one of the most prestigious events in the film industry. Every year, Hollywood’s biggest stars gather to celebrate and honor the best performances and achievements in cinema. The 95th Academy Awards, which has been held on March 12, 2023, is already generating a buzz in the entertainment industry. Here’s everything you need to know about Oscar 2023.

Date and Venue:

The 95th Academy Awards has been conducted on March 12, 2023. The entire ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, the same venue that has hosted the Oscars since 2002.

Host:

The hosting duties for the ceremony have been a topic of discussion in recent years, with some suggesting that the Academy should consider rotating hosts or even doing away with the host altogether.

Nominations and position of India:
The nominations for the 2023 Oscars was announced on February 6, 2023. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is responsible for organizing the event, will release a list of nominees across various categories, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and more.

At the 2023 Oscars, the Indian short documentary film The Elephant Whisperers won a significant prize. At the 95th Academy Awards, which were held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the documentary, which was directed by Kartiki Gonsalves and produced by Guneet Monga, won the award for Best Documentary Short Film.

India is considered as the second world largest film industry in the world

There were a lot of reactions to India's historic Oscar win. "Hearty Congratulations to Kartiki Gonsalves & Team for creating history by winning the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film for #TheElephantWhisperers," wrote N Chandrababu Naidu, the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh.

Hopeful for a nomination for best picture, S Rajamouli's masterpiece RRR won a Golden Globe for best original song for MM Keeravaani's composition Naatu Naatu. Sadly, India's official entry for the best international feature, Pan Nalin's Chhelo Show, was not selected.

It's interesting that conservation of wildlife is the focus of both All That Breathes and The Elephant Whisperers; the only films in their respective Oscar categories to achieve this. Sen and Gonsalves both follow people who have made it their life's mission to save, raise, and rehabilitate wild animals. Brothers Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saud operate a clinic in Wazirabad, Delhi, for the care of black kites in All That Breathes. The Elephant Whisperers takes us deep inside the 140-year-old elephant camp in Tamil Nadu called Theppakadu to meet Bomman and Bellie, who care for stray baby elephants.

Conclusion:
The Oscars is a highly anticipated event that brings together the best of Hollywood. While there are still many unknowns surrounding the 2023 ceremony that was held, one thing is for sure - it has an exciting night full of surprises, emotional speeches, and unforgettable moments. As always, film fans and industry insiders will be eagerly waiting to see who takes home the coveted golden statuettes.
