Oscars 2018 Winners: The Shape of water wins best picture, Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor receive tribute In memorium

The 90th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theater, in Los Angeles, United States of America, and the exceptional movie talent was rewarded with the iconic golden statue. The Oscars were given across 24 categories, with The Shape of water getting the best picture award. In the acting categories, Allison Janney won best supporting actress for I, Tonya, Sam Rockwell won the best supporting actor for  Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri, Gary Oldman won Best actor for Darkest Hour and Frances Mcdormand won for Three Billboards outside Ebbing Missouri.

But, perhaps the most emotional moment for the Indian audiences were during the In Memorial segment of the awards, in which Indian actor Shashi Kapoor and the legendary actress Sridevi were honored among other artists across the world who had contributed to cinema. Sridevi’s inclusion is particularly noteworthy because she didn’t work in the foreign cinema. It is perhaps an example about the kind of influence that Sridevi had across the world that her inclusion has become one of the biggest talking points of the Oscar night.
