Oscars, also called Academy Awards felicitates the best talent in films, not just for Hollywood, but for International films also. Its more like a dream and target for any passionate filmmaker, actor or any technician to grab at-least one Golden statue in their lifetime.
This year, academy awards will be honoring an Indian origin technician Rahul Thakkar with Oscar of Technical achievement Award for his works and contribution with “Groundbreaking design”. Rahul Thakkar will be awarded Oscar during annual scientific and Technical Awards presentation on February 13th along with 9 other technical achievement award winners.
The Academy will be honouring all other awardees on February 28th, the grand event of Oscar awards 2016. Its a rare yet proud honour for an Indian origin and though India sends an official entry every year to academy awards, none of them have seen the golden statue for Best Foreign film category.
But films with Indian theme have given chance for Indians to grab some of these, in the likes of Gandhi and Sludog millionaire. Famous musician AR Rahman and legendary writer Gulzar won Oscars for their ‘Jai Ho’ song in Slumdog Millionaire in Nest Original Song category.
Legendary filmmaker Satyajit ray was awarded Oscar for lifetime achievement in 1992 for his vision on cinema. Satyajit Ray accepted the award from his hospital bed, as he was ill during then. Resul Pookutty, who worked for Slumdog Millionaire as sound editor was awarded Greatest Sound Mixing award at Oscars.
