Claim: Update : The 95th Academy Awards were announced on 12 March 2023 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. India grabbed two Academy Awards. While 'Naatu Naatu' from 'RRR' won the Oscar for Best Original Song, 'The Elephant Whisperers' won the Oscar for Best Documentary Short Film.
Fact-check: Oscars 'Reminder List' just suggests that films have met eligibility criteria; it does not mean they are nominated - FACTLY
Verdict: the nominations for the 95th academy awards  will be announced on 24 january 2023. the names of the films mentioned in several social media posts are actually part of the 'reminder list of productions eligible for the 95th academy awards'. if any film is part of that list, it does not mean it is nominated or shortlisted. it just means that the film met the eligibility criteria listed by the oscars and is eligible for nomination. many indian films have also been part of the oscars 'reminder list' in the past and have not advanced to the nominations. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
