A social media post accompanied by a video claims that it is a short film titled – Sorry, which allegedly won an Oscar award. Let’s check the accuracy of this claim through this article.
Claim: A short film titled ‘Sorry’ won an Oscar award.
Fact: No, this short film directed by Saunak Mitra did not win an Oscar Award. Till now, no Indian film has won an Academy Award (Oscar) in the Best live action short film category. Hence, the claim made in the post is False.
A basic keyword search on the Internet revealed that this short film is actually a part of 10 short stories (‘The Complete Life’ is the film’s name) directed by Saunak Mitra and is available on YouTube.
To find out whether the short film ‘Sorry’ won an academy award, we checked the official academy awards database available on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ website. But, ‘Sorry’ is not listed as a winner or nominee.
Except for ‘The Elephant Wisperes’, which won an academy award for Best Documentary Short in 2023, no other Indian short films have won an Academy Award (animated, live action, or documentary).
To sum up, this short film titled ‘Sorry’ did not win an Oscar award.
