India at the Oscars

Anil and Tina Ambani have been attending the Oscars for the past two years in a row, in Anil's capacity as part-owner of Steven Spielberg's company Dreamworks. Dreamworks had produced Lincoln which won the Best actor award for Daniel Day-Lewis. In this picture, the Ambanis are flanked by Spielberg and his wife Kate Capshaw, and Lincoln actor Daniel Day-Lewis and his wife Rebecca Miller.

Delhi boy Suraj Sharma, who played the protagonist in Life Of Pi, looked smart in black formals on last year's Oscar red carpet. Suraj, who didn't seem nervous at all said he was star-struck by Robert De Niro. Life Of Pi had won four Oscars including Best Director for Ang Lee.

Bombay Jayashri, the sole Indian nominee at last year's Oscars, lost to Adele in the Best Original Song category, but made a graceful maiden appearance on the red carpet. In this picture, she is seen with Anupam Kher at the Oscar Nominee Night party in 2013.
