The Oscars went all in for a tale of a lady and her beloved fish-man.
Guillermo del Toro’s fantasy romance The Shape of Water picked up four honors — including the night’s big prize, best picture — at the 90th Academy Awards Sunday night. Del Toro took home best director for his film, which also won for original score and production design.
The acting Oscars went to a bevy of favorites this awards season. Frances McDormand received best actress for the darkly comedic drama Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, while her co-star Sam Rockwell was named best supporting actor. Gary Oldman won best actor for playing Winston Churchill in the World War II drama Darkest Hour, and Allison Janney earned her first Academy Award — for supporting actress — for the Tonya Harding biopic I, Tonya.
History was made in the writing categories: Get Out filmmaker Jordan Peele became the first African American to take original screenplay, and 89-year-old James Ivory is now the oldest Oscar winner after winning adapted screenplay for Call Me By Your Name. |
