Tollywood Movies Nominated For Oscars:
Each year, the first month of January experiences the exhilaration of the Academy Awards with a first announcement of the nominations. The academy awards held annually in March resonates the feverish pitch at which the cinematic world is being bombarded with films. Movie lovers claim that the Oscars are the biggest measure to gauge the quality of the movie. Turpitude of the golden statuette stands unchallenged.

The chosen films, along with their English subtitles, are sent to the Academy, where they are screened for the jury. Many regional films have got the chance to go as the official entry for Oscars.
