The award goes to Naatu Naatu from RRR.

Chandrabose and MMM Keeravaani won best song for Naatu Naatu, and riffed on The Carpenters' hit song Top of the World - they sang a version with lyrics about their film RRR and India.

It's the first Indian feature film to be nominated for anything other than best international film at the Academy Awards.

The award goes to Everything Everywhere All at Once.

His wife, who was there on his behalf, told him to "stay strong, my love".
