It was a democratic Oscars over all.
Frances McDormand asked all the female nominees to stand while accepting the award for best actress.
Activism and social politics were highlighted in a segment introduced by Ashley Judd, Salma Hayek and Annabella Sciorra, all of whom had gone public with allegations about enduring sexual harassment or worse at the hands of Harvey Weinstein.
