Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief for Hollywood Life, joins Cheddar to recap the 90th annual Academy Awards. "The Shape of Water" took home the Oscar for Best Picture.
Fuller says her favorite moment of the evening was Frances McDormand winning Best Actress for her performance in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." McDormand took the opportunity to recognize all female nominees, and also encouraged actors to request inclusion riders in their contracts.

Fuller also notes the show devoted a lot of time to the Me Too and Time's Up movements, including a taped segment and inviting Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino to speak.
