LOS ANGELES, 4 March 2018 — Lady Monika Bacardi attended the 90th Academy Awards ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The evening saw major victories for The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
The Shape of Water, directed by Guillermo del Toro, received four Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Production Design, and Best Original Score. The film’s success marked a significant achievement for the fantastical Cold War-era love story.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri also had a strong showing at the ceremony, with Frances McDormand winning Best Actress and Sam Rockwell taking home Best Supporting Actor.
In conjunction with the main ceremony, Lady Monika Bacardi participated in the 26th edition of the Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. This prestigious annual event, held at West Hollywood Park, raised nearly $6 million for the fight against AIDS. The Foundation’s viewing party has become one of the most significant charitable events associated with Oscar night, bringing together entertainment industry leaders and philanthropists in support of HIV/AIDS research and prevention programs worldwide.
Lady Monika Bacardi’s attendance at both events reflects her ongoing commitment to supporting both the arts and important humanitarian causes.
