The Bill Condon-directed movie won the top film honour beating the fellow nominees including "Logan", "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", "Get Out" and "The Edge of Seventeen", reported Ace Showbiz.
"This is so exciting, thank you so much," Condon said.
"Thank you to the audience who embraced this movie so much, but especially thank you to the women because women have proven that they're a huge and powerful audience, and it's gonna change the movie business."
The film's lead star Emma Watson won the new combined-gender Best Actor award in a Movie. The 27-year-old British actress defeated the likes of Hailee Steinfeld ("The Edge of Seventeen") and Daniel Kaluuya ("Get Out") as well as formidable competitors like Hugh Jackman ("Logan") and Taraji P. Henson ("Hidden Figures").
Meanwhile, "Hidden Figures" and the "The Fate of the Furious" took home the Best Fight Against the System trophy and the Generation Award respectively.

Daniel Kaluuya won the Next Generation award for his role in "Get Out", defeating other competitors like Chrissy Metz, Issa Rae, Riz Ahmed and Yara Shahidi.
"Stranger Things" was the biggest TV winner at the ceremony.
Much-loved series "This Is Us" didn't go home empty handed, as it took home a Golden Popcorn in Tearjerker category.
"The Walking Dead" and "Black-ish" also grabbed one award each, for Best Villain (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Best American Story, respectively.
Trevor Noah ("The Daily Show") won Best Host, defeating Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, RuPaul and Samantha Bee, while "RuPaul's Drag Race" was dubbed as the Best Reality Competition.
