The Oscars just ended and I am happy to report that the correct film was awarded! The Shape of Water won Best Picture and scored a total of 4 Oscars, including Best Direction, Production Design and Original Score. Dunkirk followed with 3 Oscars but what felt more surprising/exciting was Get Out winning Best Original Screenplay! Other than this the ceremony ran smoothly with a vintage black & white opening and following Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue tackling equality, uncle Oscar turning 90, Black Panther and other Box Office hits that did or did not make it to the Oscars and he introduced the “Oscar selfie stand” of this year: the shortest acceptance speech would win a jet ski! Which was indeed awarded at the end of the night to Mark Bridges, who had won the Costume Design Oscar for Phantom Thread (and a jet ski) The Best Leading Role awards went to Frances McDormand for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri who gave a passionate speech about equality and Gary Oldmam for Darkest Hour And here’s the complete list of this year’s winners:
