Oscars 2018 - The Shape Of Water The Big Winner On Night

It was a great night for The Shape of Water and Guillermo del Toro at this year’s Oscar receiving the Best Film and Best Director award respectively.

The Fox Searchlight love story ended the night with four awards with Dunkirk dominated the technical categories picking up three. The British film was the lead for a great night for UK film with Gary Oldman completing the clean sweep by finally winning the Leading Actor for his superb performance as Winston Churchill in the Darkest Hour.

The other British successes include another award for Darkest Hour in Makeup and Hairstyling, Costume Design for Phantom Thread and finally, Rachel Shenton and Chris Overton won Best Live Action Short Film for The Silent Child.

"Millions of children all over the world live in silence."

As the Academy Awards celebrate its 90th year, both Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri stars Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell completed their awards clean sweep in Leading Actress and Supporting Actor categories.

McDormand also lead a beautiful awards speech celebrating all the women nominated this year, but it also highlighted how little were nominated and hopefully, this will continue the push to get more female voices in Hollywood if they’re the right person for the project.

Meanwhile, there were wins for Get Out and Call Me By Your Name in Original and Adapted Screenplay respectively. Coco collected its Best Animated and surprising Best Song for Remember Me beating out favourite This Is Me from The Greatest Showman.

Finally, much like Oldman, Roger Deakins got his hands on the award for Best Cinematography for his work on Blade Runner 2049.
