The 90th Annual Academy Awards, which was held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, California, showcased an interesting battle between Guillermo del Toro and Christopher Nolan. Both directors bagged multiple nominations, del Toro for his fantasy drama film The Shape of Water and Nolan for his wartime epic Dunkirk. Nolan’s film was nominated for eight categories, while del Toro’s movie had a total of 12 nominations.

The Shape of Water came out on top with a total of four awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Production Design, and Original Score. Dunkirk was awarded in three technical categories, namely awards for Sound Editing, Film Editing, and Sound Mixing. Martin McDonagh’s Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, also made quite an impression during the event with six nominations and two major awards, including a Best Actress Oscar for Frances McDormand and a Best Supporting Actor award for Sam Rockwell.

After countless nominations for movies such as The Shawshank Redemption, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Unbroken, Sicario, and True Grit, renowned cinematographer Roger Deakins finally went home with an academy award, according to NBC News. The acclaimed filmmaker won the Oscar for Cinematography for his work on Blade Runner 2049. The movie also took home the award in the Visual Effects category.

While the night was filled with awkwardness and laughter from Jimmy Kimmel’s hilarious antics and jokes about female empowerment, Ashley Judd, Salma Hayek, and Annabelle Sciorra added a more serious note to the topic during their time on stage. The three actresses talked about how women should stand up and speak about the abuse they had experienced in Hollywood, similar to what they have already done. Judd, Hayek, and Sciorra, have all publicly accused Harvey Weinstein of sexually abusing them in the past.
