Mumbai, March 16: At the 98th Academy Awards, the spotlight was on Priyanka Chopra. Although none of her films won an award, she made history as the first Indian actress to present an award at such a prestigious global event.
Priyanka teamed up with actor Javier Bardem to present the award for Best International Feature Film to “Sentimental Value.” Directed by Joachim Trier, this film explores the complex and strained relationships between a father and his two daughters. The narrative revolves around unresolved family disputes and the artistic legacy that the family grapples with. Set against the backdrop of Norway, the film follows a renowned filmmaker as he attempts to mend his fractured family ties while working on a new project.
During the award show, Priyanka took to the stage, where Javier Bardem passionately declared, “Free Palestine.” For the occasion, Priyanka donned a stunning off-shoulder white gown designed by Dior. The gown, blending classic Hollywood style with modern nuances, featured a slit that accentuated her beauty. Its voluminous design and length gave her a regal appearance.
The lower part of the gown showcased intricate black and white tulle detailing, reminiscent of a bridal gown. She accessorized with a lightweight diamond necklace, completing her glamorous look. Meanwhile, Nick Jonas complemented her style in a black and white three-piece suit, and the couple stole the spotlight on the red carpet with their coordinated outfits.
The 98th Oscars took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles. This year’s ceremony was hosted by late-night comedian Conan O’Brien, who also hosted the previous year’s event. Ryan Coogler’s film “Sinners” is leading the race, nominated in 16 categories, including Best Film and Best Director.
