"Anupam Kher has described the Oscars as a &amp;quot;celebration of cinema&amp;quot;. The actor, who attended the event on Sunday (February 24) with the Silver Linings Playbook team, said he would cherish his memory of the event.  In an interview with The Times of India, he said: &amp;quot;I have learnt that this is a celebration of cinema. It is all about the warmth of meeting people and appreciating cinema. It is not about one winner or nominees, but a winner amongst many winners. I will always cherish this experience.&amp;quot; The film was nominated in four categories including &amp;#039;Best Actress&amp;#039; for Jennifer Lawrence, who won the award. Kher described his Silver Linings co-star as an &amp;quot;exemplary actress&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;At 22 years of age, she is a very natural actress and a very humble person. This makes her an exemplary actress and it wasn&amp;#039;t difficult to predict that she will get the Oscar. I am very proud of her and of the fact that I was with her to share the moment.&amp;quot;  The actor also commented on the Oscar success of Life of Pi starring Suraj Sharma, saying: &amp;quot;I would like congratulate everyone who was a part of Life of Pi. Suraj has had a brilliant beginning with this movie, considering he carries the film on his shoulders. He is young with a very bright future.&amp;quot; Kher added that he is to be honoured for his work in film while he is in LA. &amp;quot;I am in the entertainment capital of the world, and I realised after coming here that this proclamation is a huge honour. It is not just for my work in cinema, but also for all the social work that I have done so far.&amp;quot;  The 57-year-old star revealed recently that he is to direct a short film called I Went Shopping for Robert De Niro. The short film will be produced under Kher&amp;#039;s home banner The Actor Prepares Mumbai, named after his acting school.
