Jordan Peele – Best Original Screenplay – ‘Get Out’

The Shape of Water won Best Picture at the 90th annual Academy Awards, and Guillermo del Toro won Best Director for The Shape of Water, his first Oscar win in four noms. It led all films with four Oscars.

In an unusual twist, only six  films won multiple trophies tonight, led by Shape of Water, followed by Dunkirk with three and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Blade Runner 2049, Coco and Darkest Hour with two apiece.

The acting awards went as expected, with Frances McDormand winning Best Actress for Three Billboards, Gary Oldman taking Best Actor for Darkest Hour and Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell snagging Supporting Actress and Actor for their respective roles in I, Tonya and Three BillboardsAll four were odds-on favorites after filling their mantles throughout awards season.

Jordan Peele won Best Original Screenplay for Get Out, and James Ivory took Adapted Screenplay for Call Me by Your Name.

All of the Best Picture nominees won at least one award, except Lady Bird and The Post.

Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show from the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood for a second consecutive year, with the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements getting plenty of screen time.

  1. I have almost all of these movies on my laptop except Dear Basketball.
    Bladerunner I didn’t like.
    Shape of Water over rated if you ask me

  2. AND LT, WHY GIVE COVERAGE TO THE TRASH THAT ARE THE SO-CALLED OSCARS? THESE ARE SATANIC FESTIVALS.
