The big names don’t always take the prize at award ceremonies, and today may well be no exception. The unlikeliest of winners – an eight-year old Indian girl named Pinki, born with a cleft lip might just surprise us all.

Competing against three other shorts (in the category of best short documentary at the Oscars), Smile Pinki charts one girl’s journey from exclusion to acceptance – albeit a short one – with just 39 minutes running time.

It isn’t long to go before the winners are announced, but I’ve got a feeling that whichever way the results go, Pinki will be smiling all the same.

Check out the BBC for the full story.
