While many Indian actors and filmmakers have been nominated for Oscars, only two Indians have won Oscars:
* Bhanu Athaiya won the Oscar for Best Costume Design for the film "Gandhi" in 1983.
* A.R. Rahman won two Oscars for Best Original Score and Best Original Song for the film "Slumdog Millionaire" in 2009.
Several other Indian talents have been nominated for Oscars, but haven't won. So, while India has a strong presence in the global film industry, only these two individuals have been awarded Oscars.
