New Delhi: The buzz is all set for the Oscars, which is arguably the biggest night in the entertainment industry. The 95th Academy Awards will be presented this Sunday evening at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The show will feature a number of international stars vying for their favourites to win the coveted Oscars trophy.
Interestingly, the year is going to be special for Indians, who are cheering for their superhit film- 'RRR' after it bagged the Best Original Song nomination for 'Naatu Naatu'. India will also proudly watch Deepika Padukone walking the red carpet and appearing on that glittering platform as one of the presenters. She is only the third Indian presenter to appear on the Oscars platform, following Priyanka Chopra in 2016 and model Persis Khambatta in 1980.
