The Oscar fever is on and India now has not three reasons to celebrate but four! While the Indian blockbuster RRR finds itself competing in the ‘Best Original Song’ category, and two documentaries making it to the nomination list, Jacqueline Fernandez’s Hollywood film Tell it Like a Woman too has been nominated in the same category as RRR.

The song titled ‘Applause’ has been penned by singer Diane Warren, a recipient of 13 Oscar nominations and spreads the message of strength and empowerment.

“The whole experience of doing this film was just as magical for me. Being associated with this Oscar nomination is just so special, I cannot express it because it is very overwhelming and I wish the best to the whole team for the Academy Awards!”

Apart from RRR’s ‘Naatu Naatu’ and Tell it Like a Woman’s ‘Applause’, the other songs that have been nominated include This Is A Life (EEAAO), Hold My Hand (Top Gun: Maverick) and Lift Me Up (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever).

Excited with the Oscar nomination Jacqueline says, “I am so proud of the entire team of Tell It Like A Woman and especially Dianne and Sofia who created such magical music with Applause. The whole experience of doing this film was just as magical for me. Being associated with this Oscar nomination is just so special, I cannot express it because it is very overwhelming and I wish the best to the whole team for the Academy Awards!”
