Oscars 2018: The Shape of Water wins Best Picture plus full winners list

Published By Alexandra Heilbron on Mar 05, 2018

Jimmy KimmelAs the host of the Academy Awards for the second year in a row, Jimmy Kimmel turned in another solid performance. His opening monologue included jokes about last year's mix-up, when the wrong Best Picture winner was announced, telling the audience, "This year, if you hear your name called, don't get up right away. We don't want another thing. What happened last year was unfortunate."

He also advised the nominees that if they won, they could give acceptance speeches about anything, but added that the person who gave the shortest speech would win a Jet Ski, as shown on stage by Helen Mirren.

Later in the show, he took a selection of celebrities across the street to interrupt a movie in progress in order to thank a theater full of very surprised and overjoyed people who were given treats as hot dogs were shot out of a rocket launcher.

The laughs didn't stop there. Kimmel poked fun at Barbra Streisand, who recently cloned her late dog, calling her two new dogs "Lentil" and "Yentl" and joking that the process of cloning dogs is expensive, because for the cloning company, finding two dogs who look exactly like the late one could take a lot of searching.

The first winner of the night was Sam Rockwell for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. He revealed that when he was a kid, his father would sneak him out of school to go watch movies. He thanked his parents for instilling in him a love for movies, and also thanked his beaming girlfriend, Leslie Bibb.Gary Oldman at the 90th Academy Awards

Other acting awards went to Allison Janney, who won Best Supporting Actress for I, TonyaFrances McDormand who won Best Actress for her performance as a grieving mother in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and Gary Oldman, who earned his first Best Actor Oscar for his performance as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.

Guillermo del Toro, who won Best Director for The Shape of Water, had tears in his eyes as he quoted James Cagney from the movie Yankee Doodle Dandy, saying, "My mother thanks you. My father thanks you. My brother and sister thank you. And I thank you."

After one final quip from Kimmel ("What happened last year was Waterhouse under the bridge"), last year's Best Picture presenters, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, announced this year's Best Picture winner --  The Shape of Water. Check out the full list of winners below. ~Alexandra Heilbron

    Great show this year, Jimmy Kimmel is one of the funniest hosts I've ever seen. Tiffany Haddish was a highlight too.

    If you want a movie to get nominated for awards, especially BAFTA's and Oscars, hire Octavia Spencer. ie: The Help, Fruitville Station, Hidden Figures, The Shape of Water.... Seems to be a good luck charmed actress.
