Southern filmmaker RR Rajamouli made India shine at the Oscars last year. With “Natu Natu” he brought the Oscar for Best Original Song to India. But this year is sad for Indians. No Indian film was nominated for the 96th Academy Awards.
India's “Twelfth Fail” and “2018” were among 265 films considered for the 2024 Academy Awards. Tovino Thomas' Malayalam film '2018' was India's official Oscar entry. Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Twelfth Fail', on the other hand, was sent to the Oscar stage on its own initiative after it received praise from the audience. However, both films were omitted from the recently announced list of Oscar nominations Vikrant Massey starrer 'Twelfth Fail' won the hearts of the audience but failed at the Oscars, leaving Indian moviegoers disappointed.
The list of Oscar nominations for 2024 was released on Tuesday (January 23). Actress Jussie Beats and actor Jack Quaid announced nominations in 23 categories from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in California. And this year's Oscar nominee is Christopher Nolan's “Oppenheimer.” The popular film “Oppenheimer” was nominated in 13 categories, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.
