Tollywood stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan turned up at the Oscars red carpet in Indian wear, like Hyderabad Times had already reported.Just like we had revealed on Sunday, Jr NTR opted for a dark outfit with a tiger motif while Ram Charan’s bandhgala paid homage to the freedom fighters of the past. Jr NTR took to social media ahead of his red carpet walk to share pictures of his look. With surma in his eyes, and an embroidered tiger on his shoulder, the actor looked fierce. As for Ram Charan, the detailing lie not just on the badge on his chest but also in the buttons. The latter was accompanied by Upasana Konidela, who opted for a cream saree paired with a necklace consisting of 400 rubies.

I am confident. Naatu Naatu has the potential to win. It’s not vanity. I know my abilities as a composer and I know how good or bad each composition is. I think I’ve done well in Naatu Naatu.

Naatu Naatu from SS Rajamouli's RRR has swept the Western imagination. Now within hours, it would be time for the Oscars ceremony. MM Keeravani, the architect of this rumbustious Indian dream, is confident of bringing in the coveted trophy.Says Keeravani said to ETimes, “We’ve spoken about this (bringing home the Oscars) every time Naatu Naatu has won an American award during the last three months. Now we are hours away from the event. And I feel the same way....

I'm feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement. I'm not sure if I'll be attending as a fan or an actor. I'm thrilled to potentially meet all of the actors I've looked up to since I was young. Although I can't list them all, I'm particularly excited to meet Cate Blanchett and Tom Cruise this year.

Ram Charan

The actress, who plays laundromat owner Evelyn Quan Wang in the film, has been a hot favourite of cinema lovers for the past few years, but her journey on the big screen has been far from everything, everywhere all at once. The actress has worked tirelessly for close to 40 years now.Yeoh's journey is a classical model graduating to becoming an actor story, except for one thing, she was not just a pretty face as a model, but also an actress with expertise in martial arts.

I don't think we're going to walk the carpet as actors of 'RRR'. I am not going to walk as an actor from the Indian film industry, I'm going to walk as an Indian, with pride filled in my heart and carrying my nation in my heart.

'All Quiet on the Western Front' off with a bang?
If "All Quiet on the Western Front" wins best picture, it will be the first film to essentially win Hollywood's biggest prize twice.The original, English-language screen adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's anti-war novel won top honours way back in 1930, at just the third-ever Oscars.Should this year's German-language version win, it will be Netflix's first best picture win -- just a year after Apple pipped it to become the first streamer to collect Hollywood's biggest prize.If there is any film that can stop the "Everything Everywhere" juggernaut on Sunday, it's probably this one.

RRR song Naatu Naatu to be performed LIVE
All five best song nominees are invited to perform live at the Oscars.That means pop superstar Rihanna will grace the stage, just weeks after her long-awaited Super Bowl halftime show, at which she revealed she is pregnant.She will sing "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," while Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and "Everything Everywhere" star Stephanie Hsu will perform "This Is A Life."Perhaps the biggest spectacle will be "Naatu Naatu," the infectious showstopper from India's "RRR," which has recently had audiences dancing in their seats in Hollywood movie theatres.Sadly, there will be no Lady Gaga. Nominated for "Hold My Hand" from "Top Gun: Maverick," she is unavailable as she is "in the middle of shooting a movie," Oscars producers say.Lenny Kravitz will bring further stardust to the gala, performing music to accompany the annual "In Memoriam" tribute.
