The Shape of Water <\/em>won the Oscar for Best Picture at the 90th Academy Awards, one of the few surprises of this year’s ceremony. Additionally, the movie won for Best Production Design, Best Original Score and Best Director, for Guillermo del Toro’s incredible vision. With just four wins, the fantasy drama was the most honored film of the night. <\/span><\/p>\n

Other big multiple winners included Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri<\/em>, which saw Frances McDormand named Best Actress and Sam Rockwell named Best Supporting Actor; Darkest Hour<\/em>, which won Best Makeup and Hairstyling and Best Actor for Gary Oldman’s lead performance; Coco<\/em>, which was named Best Animated Feature and recipient of the Best Original Song award for “Remember Me”; Dunkirk<\/em>, which won for Best Editing, Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing; and Blade Runner 2049<\/em>, which won for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of the cinematography win for the Blade Runner <\/em>sequel, that was Roger Deakins finally taking home an Oscar on his record 14th nomination. And speaking of the Makeup and Hairstyling win, Kazuhiro Tsuji became the first Asian person ever to be honored in that category. Jordan Peele, meanwhile, became the first African American to win an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the other milestones of the night, a Netflix feature film finally won an Oscar, with Icarus<\/em> being named Best Documentary Feature (Netflix won its first Oscar last year with the documentary short The White Helmets<\/em>).
