'Naatu Naatu' from SS Rajamouli’s hit ‘RRR’ won Oscars for Best Original Song. The audience was captivated as they watched Ram Charan and Jr NTR's spectacular dance moves in the song. The crowd cheered wildly when MM Keeravani (composer of the song) and Chandrabose (lyricist) walked up to the stage to accept the prestigious award.

'The Elephant Whisperers' was in the race for an Oscar in the Documentary Short Film category -- the first for an Indian production made in India -- and finally the big moment came when Guneet and Kartiki were called on the stage to take back home those coveted statuettes.
