Tillotama Shome Lauds ‘Equitable Process’ Of Team ‘All That Breathes’ At Oscars, Calls Them Real Winners
Team work, makes dream works!
Oscars 2023 was a glorious and victorious moment for India! We had Deepika Padukone, who was the third Indian to be the presenter at the ceremony, ‘Naatu Naatu’ winning the first Academy Award for India in the Best Song category, and The Elephant Whisperers bagging the prestigious award in the Best Documentary Short Film category! Well, for the unversed, another Indian project that was nominated in the documentary category was All That Breathes. Even though the project did not bag an Oscar, people have been highlighting that All That Breathes is the real winner here because they had the entire team of the film with them at the Oscars, and every other event, unlike The Elephant Whisperers. And Tillotama Shome agrees!

As much as The Elephant Whisperers is a great film, its glory would have reached tenfold had the real-life couple the story is based on had been present or even mentioned at the Oscars. Director Kartiki Gonsalves and producer Guneet Monga had been on the stage to receive the Oscar. The team of All That Breathes marking their presence at every stage together shows how they want to credit each and every person responsible for the making of the film.
