It is unfortunate that we still think 'Best Costume Design' means extravagant or flamboyant fare. 'Gandhi' was most deserving winning this award for the impeccable reproduction of the complex, diverse and dynamic socio-cultural scape of India over five decades - it's people - the western influence with a colonial rule of over 200 years and the resurgent Indian ethos fired by the independence movement. The detailed play of of fabric, color and texture was remarkable. The sheer size of the production was gigantic to say the least. The funeral scene with over 300,000 extras was like a military operation. Bhanu Athaiya was the most senior and successful costume designer from India - probably the only one Sir Richard Attenborough could trust for his magnum opus.
Jayprad Desai no way this award should have given to tron or blade runner both defines a genre that spans across Anime Cartoons Movies that just start cyberpunk genre I mean come-on Bhanu did incredible job but no way it's better than Blade runner
The music that is playing while Miss Athiya was walking to the stage is not played properly. They are playing a portion of Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram and the last part is incorrect. The academy Orchestra ruined the final part.
So Oscar is only for foreign movies. Come on guys Indians design goods costumes from many years. But why only English movies selected for Oscar. Oscars is only for anti Bollywood movies
The Oscars are technically American Awards. They usually honour English-centred films. Any film in any other language will only usually be nominated in Best Foreign Language/Best International Feature Film. It’s understood that India makes good movies but the Indian Film Federation is not sending good movies from India to the Oscars. They usually send movies that are less than spectacular. How can the Academy acknowledge Indian movies if the Indian Film Federation doesn’t send good Indian movies to the Oscars?
@@57yearoldjamesbond Exactly! Who cannot forget Darth Vader’s black armor, the Stormtroopers’ white armor, Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi’s brown Jedi robe, and the pilot uniforms of the X and Y-wing fighters?
First ever Indian to win an Oscar. Such a proud moment for all Indians.
RIP Bhanu Athaiya (April 28, 1929 - October 15, 2020), aged 91
You will always be remembered as a legend.
India`s first Oscar winner Bahnu Ahaiya. Respect. She passed away in Mumbai today. RIP
She gave me a lifetime reason to celebrate. She hailed from my city, Kolhapur. Could not thank you less Bhanuji. Love forever
She just passed away today. Documenting to lament the loss of Indian gem.

Rest in piece Bhanu Athaiya - creator of such iconic costumes
RIP Bhanuji, most probably only saree clad Oscar winner. Always graceful.
Rip Bhanu ji. From CID to Swades, for Gandhi, Lekin, Lagaan and a whole lot of movies where your contribution made an immense impact.
Royal Salute to the lady who brought home India's first ever OSCAR award, the now departed Bhanu Athaiya. OM SHANTI
For me, John Mollo did a great job for both Gandhi and Star Wars: 2 well deserved victories for 2 beautiful films!

JC Penny's Sheets!
I love the other films of Bhanu Athaiya but the costumes from Gandhi nothing special.
gandhi and stars wars are the worst winners of the best costumes of the academy awards.
STFU
Star Wars had extremely creative and innovative costume design, ignoramus.
