India’s no show at the 87th Academy Awards may have left cinema-lovers sulking, but a cursory glance at the timeline of filmdom’s most prestigious award highlights spread of Indian flavours at the ceremony. From Bhanu Athaiya, Resul Pookutty to AR Rahman, several stalwarts have clinched the coveted golden statuettes in the past.
Oscars 2015 have come with a disappointment for Indian fans as none of India’s probable contenders could make it to the final shortlist.
Four of AR Rahman’s compositions – three from Million Dollar Armand one from The Hundred-Foot Journey, stood a chance to be nominated for an Oscar in the Original Song category. Sonu Nigam and Bickram Ghosh were also part of the Original Score category’s longlist, for their compositions in Jal, which also missed a possible nomination in the Best Picture category.
