Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy, 37, has left a mark on the world as the main Pakistani to win two Oscars.
On Tuesday, she stood out as truly newsworthy in Pakistan when her name was called at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, for best short subject documentary film of the year.
She strolled up to the stage to accept the award, waved her Oscar triumphantly and said: "I have another!"
The film, A Girl in the River - The Price of Forgiveness, highlights the issue of honor killings in Pakistan. It follows the account of a 18-year-old lady, Saba, who was shot by her relatives to reclaim their family respect, and dumped into a stream. She supernaturally made due to recount to her story.
