Indian connection to Oscar Awards 2015
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and the studio credited with the win is a subsidiary of the Indian studio, Prime Focus. The Oscars victory was led by Double Negative, the London-based VFX studio, that merged with a subsidiary of Prime Focus in 2014 to create one of the world's largest 3D, animation and visual effects outfits. Over 80 per cent of the merged company is still held by Prime Focus. The award was presented to VFX Supervisors Paul Franklin and Andrew Lockley, SFX Supervisor Ian Hunter and New Deal Studios' VFX Supervisor Scott Fisher at the 87th Annual Academy Awards held on February 22 at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.
