Story of Best Picture Award
In the 97th Academy Awards race, Indian and Hindi films could not achieve any place in any category. But do you know why this happens every year? Why do Indians or Hindi films fall behind? On what basis do our films prove to be weak than those films in the world, which are selected for the Oscar Award. After all, what are the scale of giving the best picture, best actor, best actress or Oscar Award for being the best in any category? Here we will try to understand this.
This time in the foreign language category from India, Kiran Rao’s film Missing Ladies was sent officially, but British Hindi film Santosh and Priyanka Chopra-Gunit Monga’s Indo-American film Anuja was out in the first round. I am not a robot received this award in place of Anuja. At the same time, in the category of Best Feature Film, actress Micie Madison’s Anora has received this award, which also has her contemporary significance. The question becomes important as to what kind of films the members of the Academy Awards Committee give prominence to. What is especially seen in the story?
What is the purpose of Anora director Scene Baker?
Looking at the list of Academy Awards, the picture becomes clear what kind of films are selected for the Best Picture Award here. The first talks about Anora, which won five Academy Awards in 2025. Know how contemporary it is. The film was released in the year 2024. Its director is Scene Baker. Seen Baker is known for engraving the life of people living in his films on screen. He is identified in Hollywood of an independent filmmaker. He has earlier made films like Four letter Words, Tech Out, Prince of Broadway, The Florida Project and Red Rocket.
There are many aspects of Seen Baker’s personality. He is also a director, producer, writer and himself editor. Perhaps this is also a special secret to receive Anora awards in five category. The stories of his films walk with a mission despite being fantasy. In Anora, he woven the fantasy of the fairy tale, but also cleverly added the connection of Russia-America, which is in the headlines these days.
Story of Russian Non -resident living in Anora America
Anora was released at a time and received the Best Picture Award when the US-Russia relations are being redefined. Russia-America has been a rival country. The cold war between the two is famous in the era of the Soviet Union. But during the last three years, the war of Russia-Ukraine reached the peak. The ravages of war became a major issue in the US election. The result was that the Biden’s party lost and Donald Trump came to power. Now Trump is eager to forget the grip and take the relationship with Putin to a new point. At present, their aim is to stop the war in any way.
Meanwhile, a film like Anora comes on the floor. Where the story of two Russian couples would be introduced with rich and poor emotional taunts. The lover couple, depicted in Anora, belong to Russia, who lives in New York. The girl is from a poor family while the young man is the son of a rich businessman. The film depicts the friendship and marriage of both. The story tells that Russian whether rich or poor- they choose American life to make their own future.
Eventing Everyware All at Vans Chinese NRI’s Story
Prior to Anora, we discuss some films that have received the Oscar Awards of Best Picture. In the year 2024, Christopher Nolan’s film Openhaimer received seven Academy Awards. It was based on the life of an American scientist. The story of developing nuclear weapons was shown during the second world war in Robert OpenHir’s biopic in the Russia-Ukraine war atmosphere. In the year 2023, Eventing Everyware All at Vans received the Best Picture Award. The film was also shown the story of a middle class Chinese family living in America.
In the year 2022, Sian Header Koda received the Best Oscar Award. This film is the story of a young woman whose family members are not able to hear only she can hear and helps her family on every front. The entire film describes the struggle of that girl.
Story of Nomalland American nomadic family
At the same time, talking about the 2021 Oscar winning film Nomadland, it tells the story of American nomad. The film tells the story of the recession era and tells that America is a rich and powerful country in the world but there is also a poor community which does not have a roof on his head. In such a situation, the moving van is his residence. He lives his life by traveling all over America. A rich country was shown a mirror through this film and the Academy Awards Committee awarded the Best Picture Award to put this ground truth of America in front of the world.
Story of Parasite South Korea’s resourceless family
A similar mirror was shown through South Korea’s film Parasite. The film received the Oscar Award for Best Picture in the year 2020. The film puts the social truth of South Korea, a fast emerging South Korea on the world’s honor. The war and tension of North Korea and South Korea is well known. Despite being under the shadow of that war, South Korea presented itself as a fast developing nation. But parasite proves to be a film to open the difference of truth.
It was shown in the film that the gap of richness and poverty in the rapidly emerging South Korea is increasing as fast. The film has a resourceless family, who is forced to live on the facilities provided by rich businessmen, due to which it also has to go through torture.
Humanitarian outlook through fantasy in films
Apart from these films, if you look at some old films like Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, American Beauty or The Titanic, then the picture becomes clear on which scale the Oscar committee likes epic stories. Even if films do not have contemporary importance, then its socio-cultural-historical basis is seen and tested. The Oscar Award for Best Picture is received by the same film whose message is cleared and its technology side should not dominate the intention of the story.
A humanist approach is also carved through fantasy like Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings. Messages are given to the entire society through it. Now compare the subjects and pictures of films that are sent from India in the foreign language category. The missing Ladies, which made a splash in India, was rejected in the first round.
