Hollywood has been trying hard to make inroads into countries like India. That's why adding desi celebs to these almost monthly lists with different names, featuring Indians in the Memorial section of the Oscars, celebs visiting India and namedropping Indian actors, etc.

They desperately want to get into the market and since Indians love even the smallest HW recognition, it works out well.




So that's why they showed Sridevi who had never ventured out of India

Even Shashi Kapoor did only U.K. Movies

That's the LA based one, there was a NY one the same year http://variety.com/gallery/power-of-women-new-york-impact-list-2016/


Let's face it: It's not always easy to be a woman in this world, let alone a showbiz leader that happens to be one.

There are the usual leadership obstacles to overcome, plus downright sexism and resistance in certain pockets of the planet. Yet, these women persist.

In honor of Intl. Women's Day on March 8, Variety presents its first Intl. Women's Impact Report. It is an outgrowth of our annual Women's Impact Report, with a singularly global focus.

The 50 women on this list are doing extraordinary things on the worldwide stage. They range from J.K. Rowling, a formerly strugg-ling single mum who built a multimedia empire around a boy named Harry Potter, to Mo Abudu, dubbed the Oprah of Africa, and the Scandinavian TV execs who fostered Nordic Noir. Plus performer activists including Britain's Emma Watson, Nollywood star Omotola Jalade Ekeinde and Asia Argento of Italy; international execs who have made incursions into U.S. markets, such as Studiocanal TV's Rola Bauer and Keshet Intl.'s Keren Shahar, and those in Asia and Europe who believe the key to survival in the increasingly global entertainment biz is strong local programming.


I don't know, Priyanka has been on a couple Variety reports in 2016 and 2017 so it's hard to keep track.

^^ Yeah it's hard to track all these lists. Priyanka will probably be on the Hollywood 2018 women impact report too.. this is a different intl one. It's great for both, I don't understand why any one of them needs to be "discredited" 😕

Its nice that they mentioned her but not worthy to make a big deal out of it. At the end of the day their agencies are doing this.

If they really want some recognition from Hollywood they should better sign some movies and work their way up and impress them with their acting. These are things that will stay in peoples mind and not magazines or attending award shows and some after partys.

Call me cynical but this type of stuff is definitely aimed for international audiences. It takes almost no effort on their part and yet, there will be blaring headlines the next day in a billion-strong country "Oscars honor Sridevi!", people will put screen caps on social media, and there will be buzz about how great it is to get attention from HW like this.

It's an amazing way for them to advertise themselves outside their traditional market. I'm sure they must be doing similar things with other countries' stars too. It's just that we don't know them so we wouldn't notice it.

Happy for Deepika. So all these proofs on the previous pages were apparently misleading. Not unexpected. 😆

One of the Oscars producers this year was Indian, he's probably grown up watching Sridevi and wanted to include her too.
