Movies: fox Searchlight Outshines Other Studios with 6 Oscars

Buoyed by "The Shape of Water," Fox Searchlight Pictures took home more Oscars than any other studio at the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday with six statuettes.
The best picture victory for "Shape" extends Searchlight's enviable winning streak, which has seen the independent film label score best picture for "Birdman," "12 Years a Slave" and "Slumdog Millionaire" in the last 10 years.
Warner Bros. put in a strong showing with five Oscars in the technical categories for "Dunkirk" and "Blade Runner 2049," while Universal received four statuettes. Fox was the leader going into Sunday's ceremony with 27 nominations, with Searchlight accounting for 20 of those.
"Shape's" Guillermo del Toro singled out the indie studio in his acceptance speech for directing.
