Talking Movies reports from Los Angeles ahead of Hollywood's biggest night of the year - The Oscars. With the preview programme, we hear from its Asian star Michelle Yeoh and look at how this has been a record year for Asian actors in terms of nominations. Other big names whose movies are in the running include Cate Blanchett, Brendan Fraser and director James Cameron - they each discuss their Oscar nominated work with presenter Tom Brook. The team also catches up with nominated Belgian filmmaker Lukas Dhont on the Oscars campaign trail as he meets fans of his picture Close. India's prolific film industry is often overlooked by the Academy, but this year the country has picked up a best original song nomination for its epic action international blockbuster RRR, as well as getting recognition in the documentary feature and documentary short film categories. RRR's director S.S. Rajamouli tells Talking Movies how this is a big moment for Indian cinema.
