Oscars 95: India wins big; 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' bags the big awards

And thus begins the biggest awards night of the year and this year is special for the Indians especially more than ever owing to having RRR score a nomination in the Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu.

We also have Deepika Padukone being one of the presenters and will be having Naatu Naatu being performed, So, join us in this wild ride of the Oscars as we have already begun. 

Jimmy Kemmel - The Host

As always, the host Jimmy Kemmel was rolling right away and his signature humor, managed to have everyone invested and laughing away. We can obviously see the cautious approach with jokes but hey, it is indeed all fun after all. The joke about 'Tom Cruise and James Cameron are not here. The two people, who urged us to go the theaters aren't here at the theatre' had me balling.

Then we had a joke about RRR where he mentioned how if the winning speech goes on for long, they won't be walked off, and instead they will be escorted by dancers who are dancing on the song from RRR.

Now, we get on with the awards-
