Viral Bhayani also posted a close-up video of Rihanna giving a flying kiss to ‘RRR’ team.
Take a look at the sweet moment:
‘Naatu Naatu’ composer MM Keeravaani had accepted the award on stage, presented by ‘Wednesday’ star Jenna Ortega.
'Naatu Naatu', a dance number featuring stars Jr NTR and Ram Charan, was competing against Taylor Swift’s 'Carolina' from 'Where the Crawdads Sing', 'Ciao Papa' from 'Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio', Lady Gaga’s 'Hold My Hand' from 'Top Gun: Maverick', and 'Lift Me Up' from 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever', performed by Rihanna.
India previously scripted history in the Best Original Score category over a decade ago, when AR Rahman won for Danny Boyle’s 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
‘RRR’ was also nominated in the ‘Best Non-English Language Film’ category. However, this was won by ‘Argentina, 1985’.
The Golden Globes 2023, hosted by Jerrod Charmichael, was held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.
