The big news is coming for Guneet Monga's Period End Of Sentence, that emerged victorious in the Best Documentary Short Subject Category at Oscars 2019. The film was able to beat other nominees like Black Sheep, End Game, Lifeboat and A Night At The Garden. It's about Indian women's struggles against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation and focusses on the work of real-life 'Pad Man' Arunachalam Muruganathan.  Oscars 2019 Best Animated Feature Winner: Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse Swings The Trophy Away From Incredibles 2 and Isle of Dogs at 91st Academy Awards.

Produced by Indian Film Producer, Guneet Monga, the movie is set in India and revolves around the taboos around menstruation. The 26-minute film follows girls and women in Hapur, India and their experience with the installation of a pad machine in their village. It's definitely a huge honour for someone of Indian origin. Oscars 2019 Best Supporting Actor Winner: Mahershala Ali Takes Away His Second Oscar Win For Green Book At 91st Academy Awards.

Earlier in her conversation with IANS, Guneet had said revealed how bagging a nomination at Oscars 2019 is a trophy in itself for her. She said, "This started seven years ago with raising money and donating one pad machine... then thought the team should make a movie for better awareness. Action India from India helped on the ground in putting a machine. Rayka Zehtabchi and Sam Davis captured all of this so beautifully with Mandakini Kakar producing for Sikhya Entertainment."Today here we are! All the way to Oscars and have put this story on the map! Whatever may happen.... team Period. End of Sentence is already a winner," she added.

The 91st Academy Awards are currently being held at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. While the red carpet pictures are already out, it's time to cheer for the winners from tonight. Black Panther has already bagged the honour for taking home the first ever trophy for Marvel while Rami Malek's Bohemian Rhapsody has started with its winning streak. However, we are content and glad for Guneet's big win 'cos, in the end, that's all that matters.
