Satyajit Ray's Honorary Award: 1992 Oscars 

Bollywood is about making money. Satyajit ray was about cinema, real cinema.

This man takes the words "I don't go to the Oscar, the Oscar comes to me" to a next level

Oscar came to his room : such an extraordinary he is

Legend on Hospital bed receiving Oscar Is just like a soldier receiving Param Vir Chakra in a War Rare achievements Respect

Thank you India for giving the world Satyajit Ray, one of the few gems of the world.

Twenty-four days later he died. Thanks for your contribution. RIP

I only saw two incredible things in academy awards: 1. Charlie Chaplin got a standing ovation of 12 minutes 2.Oscar was given to Satyajit Ray at his hospital bed.

Who is here after death of Soumitra Chatterjee...probably they are making another masterpiece in heaven...all legends are there

Bollywood✖️ Indian film industry✔️

What Rabindra Nath Tagore is to Literature, Ray sahab is to Cinema.

"Not to have Seen the Cinema of Ray means Living in the World Without Seeing the Sun or the Moon "-Akira Kurasowa

Another underappreciated gem of Indian cinema is Ritwik Ghatak

As a bengali, I am so utterly thankful to the Oscars committee that they recognised him with this award. He died soon after this. He wasn't very much supported by producers in India because he did real films and not mass entertainment, and had to make movies on meagre budgets. He couldn't even hire too many people. He was a genius and did all sound, editing, screenplay, direction, music, dialogues all by himself. He is one of the brightest gems of world cinema, and thank you Oscars for acknowledging that before his death.

All credit to Martin Scorsese for campaigning so hard so Satyajit Ray could get this Oscar. He rallied his close buddies Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and others, which set the ball rolling in Mr. Ray's favor. He continues to spread the word about Mr. Ray's films. A few years ago, Scorsese called director Wes Anderson over to his place to watch "Pather Panchali". This inspired Anderson so much that he went to India, returned and penned the screenplay for "Darjeeling Limited", which eventually became a successful film starring Owen Wilson and Adrian Brody. Anderson created a unique soundtrack for "Darjeeling Limited" made up of music from Satyajit Ray's films and a couple of Merchant-Ivory films.

My parents, though not from India, deeply respected Mr. Ray and his cinematography. He truly was one of the gems of this world.

হয়তো এনাদের মতো মহান ব্যক্তিদের জন্য আজ আমরা মাথা উঁচু করে বলতে পারছি..... আমি গর্বিত আমি বাঙালী...💖💖

When the news spread that Mr. Ray had been nominated for honorary Oscar Award then all on a sudden our Indian government hurriedly decided to honour him with a Bharat Ratna award.Why our government had to take such a long time to this important decision. What a ridiculous promptness shown by the government. Remember the famous adage "A prophet is not honoured in his own country ".

Proud of our India.... Bengal ki mitti ne kai sare hire diye hai.... Lots of respect... From Maharashtra

Today he would turn 100...legend

I hope a Bengali language movie wins an Oscar someday. Doesn’t matter if it’s from India or Bangladesh. If it’s from India then the filmmaker should thank this man

Nobody Literally Nobody RU-vid recommended this today on his 100th birth anniversary ❤

My grandparents witnessed Satyatajit Ray !! And we have to watch senseless directors like Karan Johar and Sajid Khan

If bengali cinema's start to represent Indian cinema, we can bring more Oscars.

Audrey Hepburn & Satyajit Ray.. Legends ❤️

respect to Bengali Cinema love from Tamil Nadu

Proud moment for an Indian, for a Bengali. RAY the greatest. I almost cried!

The present Bollywood directors should learn from Satyajit Rai.......No one can be like him.....he's one in a zillion... Proud to be an Indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Imagine having this man at his prime in this generation. India cinema would had achieved different kind of success. What a wonderful man. This man define cinema. Martin Scorsese & Christopher Nolan are big fan of his art work

He deserved it when he made THE 'Apu Trilogy' !

I feel proud that he was a bengali and he never left Bengal.

1:33 cudos to the lady ❤ she pronounced his name perfectly also she was very genuine in her talking.

Padma Sri, Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, National Film Awards, Oscar, Bharat Ratna...Needn't say more 🙌💯🙏

As a Bengali, this makes my heart proud. And as an Audrey fan, yess she is the embodiment of the word Elegant.

Receiving Oscar on deathbed - the feeling of success ---- GOOSEBUMPS

March 2021, 29 years ago on this day (in 1992) Satyajit Ray was awarded the honorary academy ❤️ thanks to the academy for recognising his work and preserving his remarkable films...while sadly most Indians are unaware of his work, all these years later his films still fascinates me, most of his films were black and white yet they have captured different colours of life so beautifully, simple yet very powerful...he was extraordinary, a true legend❤️ proud as a Bangali and as an Indian.

He had a sense of humour even then. Salute to him!!!

I remember watching this live on Doordarshan years ago. Awarding the Oscars to him was indeed a proud moment for the entire nation. Mr. Satyajit Ray passed away after a few days is what i recollect.

Such a gem we witnessed, he was not only a director, he was an emotion

Thank you for correctly pronouncing his surname-"Ray". Even Indians(non-Bengali)pronounce his surname- Ray like ray in sunrays.

Satyajit Ray is one of the fathers of cinema.

The master wanted to make Mahabharata and Chander pahar bt had no financial back up .and now directors like vijay Krishna acharya getting 300 CR to make TOH! Irony of Indian cinema at its best!

As a bengali I am very much thankful to the Oscar committee for recognizing him with this prestgoi award..!! He is a gem who will shine forever..!!❤

This lockdown presented me the chance of witnessing Ray's magical films. What a storyteller he was.. Fills my heart with immense pride🇮🇳

My favourite actor presenting one of my favourite film makers with a lifetime achievement award? I LOVE THIS. They couldn't have picked a better presenter for a most deserving film maker.

When I was in 12th standard Pather Panchali was shown in our class in bengali. From that moment I have understood that this is film direction. Every person, Every scenes, everything in that movie was hear touching . I am from Kerala the land of great directors like Bharathan, Padmarajan and Adoor Gopalakrishnan. But Satyajit Ray was the emperor of all directors. The best film director India have ever seen. One of the outstanding director in the world. A Satyajit Ray devotee from Kerala. Thanks a lot to the Great Bengal. Because you have given birth to the legendery artists like Rabindranath Tagore, Satyaji Ray, Shreya Ghoshal and others.

He was a true legend and no one can take his place.

Satyajit Ray is a gem , so glad he was recognized! Long live the legend !

And I've finally learnt how to pronounce his name as well. Thanks Audrey! Great filmmaker.

The only films I've seen from Mr. Ray are Pather Panchali and The Music Room. But that was more than enough to realise that he was a master at his craft.

who is here after Natu Natu song got Oscar? 😍

One of the few directors who grasp the true essence of cinema

Audrey looks wonderful here

On his death bed, being unwell but still speaking English that also in a flawless accent. Mr Ray is something else 🙏🙏🙏

Satyajit Roy was a true gem and was ahead of time in Bollywood. His films are still very relevant to society. Because of his style and subject.... ❤️ ❤️

*he was a universal talent in true meaning. He made real cinemas 🎥, he wrote short stories which are popular among all the readers across india and bangladesh, he could compose beautiful melodies, he could draw beautifully detailed sketches. He was a true genius from every mean.* *We salute you Manik da!*

Proud to be Indian🇮🇳 Proud to be Bangali মহারাজা... 👑 তোমারে সেলাম ❤

Proud to Be a bangali , Proud to be an Indian ❤️🇮🇳

After Satyajitrey, MM Keeravaani got the Oscar for the original Indian work..

His eloquence and fluency of thought even under such challenging circumstances speaks volumes of his strength of character and deep intellect

One of the greatest Bengali born, after Tagore and Bose.

One of the greatest filmmakers ever. A Genius , a LEGEND. Happy Birthday sir.

SATYAJIT RAY - THE LEGEND (GEM OF INDIAN FILM INDUSTRY )....

Satyajit Ray had also worked in Bollywood, Tollywood, and Hollywood.

It's sad to know that he died only 20 days after this and she, less than a year later on.

Biggest regret of my life for not seeing 3 legendary Indian's up close after I was born.(1990) 1) Satyajit Ray. 2) KISHORE KUMAR. 3)UTTAM KUMAR.

Mr Satyajit Roy was a greatest director of Indian cinema ever i really Proud to see him to get Oscar award🇮🇳❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

What a rare gem he was to ever exist in the world of film-makers. Satyajit Ray 🇮🇳

The Academy just made it in time!

_"I bought this dress for Durga. Where is she anyway?"_ The ending to Pather Panchali will haunt my dreams forever. I love Indian cinema so much you don't want to know. And I don't mean that Bollywood shit. I mean it's 'real' cinema. So long Master Ray. You were great.

Satyajit Ray Most Precious Gem of This world 🌎

30 years ago today. After her death in 1993, hardly to see any movie stars that were able to match her elegance and class. A truly one of the most iconic stars of all time.

Oscar doesn’t mean anything about his artistry & film making. He is something beyond that. A treasure that the World has lost!

Today is his 99th birthday! What a Legend! Respect and Love for Satyajit Ray! Pride of Bengal, pride of India, Pride of the whole cinematic universe!

So much delight to see Ms Hepburn announcing the award in a beautiful sari-like gown. Mr. Ray indeed is a wonderful filmmaker. Just came here after watching "The Chess players".

What a cute and totally unexpected shout-out to Deanna Durbin.

It's sad that both Ray and Hepburn died shortly after this....😞 but their work will be cherished forever

In a year therafter, neither Ray nor Hepburn would be alive.

I just searched about the Lady, Audrey Hepburn, and it's sad that she too passed away just the next year 🙏

After 30 days of this event,Satyajit Ray had died,but he would be happy that he recieved the oscar and touched it in his hands before his death.But legends never died as they are remembered for their great professions

I love how she says "Raey" instead of "Ray". The proper Bengali pronunciatuon, which even Bengalis don't continue anymore. They call themselves "Ray". Thank you for not anglicising the pronunciation.

He is the one who makes me feel proud for being an Indian and most precisely I feel proud to be a Bengali because of him...He is the real Gem of Indian Cinema😌♥️🔥...He is a legend once born😌♥️

Rather than life time achievement, Ray deserved individual film nomination as well as Oscar (only if its considered as biggest platform of world ) ...

A legend presenting to another legend! Satyajit Ray is one of those rare gifts to the world of cinema!

Satyajith Ray -A Legend

Ray was legend. Inspired many

India ..satyajit Ray 🇮🇳💪

Childhood days automatically of satyajit ray

One of the best film makers of all times.. Kurosawa and Ray and Bergman , the three pillars

From my childhood I heard that Mr. S Ray have won Oscar.. Was in search to watch by my own eyes and to experience the Joy... The video that came up in ONE STOP SEARCH is marvelous and amazing ... I really rejoiced !!!... Thanks :)

There’s something about my Calcutta , something special about Bengalis . Satyajit Ray , Tagore , Subhash Chandra Bose , Vivekananda , Kishore Kumar , Suchitra Sen, Jagadish Chandra Bose , Amartya Sen , P.C Sarkar , Jhumpa Lahiri , Sourav Ganguly ,Kazi Nazrul Islam , Sushmita Sen and so many more Bengalis have made India proud internationally , still , all people care to know about us is that we love mach , misti & gossip.

Couldn't be more beautiful gift when you are that old and in the hospital bed.

We have a chapter 'Apu ke sath dhai saal' means 'two and a half years with Apu' in our high school Hindi text book on Mr Satyajit Ray.

This makes me so sad. So great that the Academy recognized Ray before it was too late, only weeks before his passing, but hard to see him so ill but still delivering a sweet speech. And extra hard knowing that the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn herself would pass away within a year. :(

I wish I was born in his era and I wish I could meet him. He is not only the greatest filmmaker India ever witnessed but his writings are just as good. Such creativity, elegance and uniqueness had been portrayed throughout his works.

He is a great filmmaker

His has perfect British accent

মহারাজা তোমারে সেলাম।♥️

For over 100 years indian cinema also there is no equal as much as satya jit ray

Oscar deserved Satyajit Ray
