The only Indian director to win an Oscar is Satyajit Ray. He was presented an honorary Academy Award for his lifetime contribution to cinema in 1992. Ray, 70 years old at the time, was unable to travel to Los Angeles to accept the award in person because of his declining health. Instead, a video recording of the legendary Indian filmmaker receiving the award in his hospital bed was played at the Oscars ceremony.
