India movie ‘RRR’ joins Hollywood awards race as unlikely underdog
Fox News
The stars of “RRR,” one of India’s most expensive and top-grossing films of all time, travelled to Los Angeles to promote the film as an unlikely underdog in Hollywood’s award race.
It’s been showered with praise from the likes of J.J. Abrams and Jessica Chastain. It won best original song at the Golden Globes for the exuberant "Naatu Naatu" and has five Critics Choice Awards nominations, including for best picture.
But the Academy Awards generally shun foreign films and over-the-top action movies in key categories. And " RRR" can’t win the international feature film Oscar because India submitted Pan Nalin’s much quieter "Chhello Show" instead. A nomination for best picture at the Oscars remains a long shot.
