It is a proud moment for all. An Oscar has come home. At the 95th Academy Awards, Guneet Monga's production venture The Elephant Whisperers won in the Best Documentary Short Film category. The film directed by Kartiki Gonsalves managed to beat Haulout, The Martha Mitchell Effect, Stranger At The Gate, and How Do You Measure A Year? to win in this category. Everyone is elated and how! Guneet Monga sure is. She took to her social media accounts to express her happiness.

Fans are more than happy and expressing pride over the big win. However, many are also expressing disappointment as another film All That Breathes could not bag an award. The film was nominated in Best Documentary Feature Film but it lost the award to Navalny that starred Shaunak Sen, Aman Mann and Teddy Leifer. All That Breathes stars Nadeem Shehzad, Salik Rehman, Mohammad Saud and is directed by Saunak Sen.

Also, Guneet Monga holding an Oscar in one hand and her phone in the other? Absolute Desi boss moment!#Oscars95

Is Navalny good? Yes. Should All That Breathes have won over it? Very much yes, it was better.

I'm not even watching the Oscar's but it is ridiculous that "All That Breathes" did not win Best Feature Documentary.
