Guneet Monga Disheartened To Have Her Oscars Speech Cut Off By The Orchestra —

Guneet Monga's The Elephant Whisperers made history at the Oscars 2023 by winning the best Short Documentary Award on Sunday night. This is the first time that an Indian production has won the Oscars, and Guneet is proud of that.

However, there is one thing that has left Guneet Monga disheartened. Guneet and the entire team of The Elephant Whisperers had a blasting celebration when the award was announced. She, along with Kartiki Gonsalves and others, went to the stage to accept the award, but her acceptance speech was cut off halfway.

Oscar has a time limit for the acceptance speech. If the winner is not able to complete the speech within 45 seconds, then the orchestra disrupts it. The same happened with Guneet Monga and Kartiki Gonsalves. Netizens are slamming the Oscars for this partiality as several winners have been allowed to speak for more than 45 seconds.
