Bollywood diva Sridevi, often called the first lady superstar of Indian films, and Shashi Kapoor -- bothof whom passed away recently -- featured in the Award ceremony's 'In Memoriam' section, which pays tribute to artistes who died this year. Others who featured in the section included James Bond star Roger Moore, Mary Goldberg and Johan Johansson, John Heard and Sam Shephard. The Shape of Water, a fantasy drama, has been in the midst of controversy over the allegation of being a copy of the 1969 play Let Me Hear You Whisper. The film stars Sally Hawkins as a mute cleaner working in a Cold War-era lab facility who bonds with a sea creature being kept there. The film dominated the Academy Awards' nomination pack this year, appearing in 13 categories. Gary Oldman and Fraces McDormand clinched the Best Actor and Best Actress award for their performances in Darkest Hour and Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri.
